Graham was playing with a back problem, for which he had an injection to enable him to play. Clearly he wasn't himself.
Wello may have a recurrence of the rib injury that he sustained towards the end of last season and which may now need an operation. I think Foster will be his stand in.
We missed Pryce for his organisation and guile. Eastmond has been out too long and was therefore very rusty. But I was pleased he made it through a fully 80 minutes, including attempting some kicks.

We were underdone going into that game because of a very disrupted pre-season, new coach with new ideas still bedding in and a new-look team (not to mention the lack of Pryce to organise). Had we not been underdone, chances are we would have beaten you, and beaten you by a number of tries too. You may think it was penalties that cost you, but don't forget the number of times we crossed your line in the first half. Had we not fluffed those opportunities we would have secured anything between two and four tries before you even scored a point.

I am sure both Wigan and Saints will get better as the season progresses.

You talk about injuries but we had Fielden, Finch, Fielden, Roberts and the current man of steel out with Richards too. If they had played we would have beaten you as we had to jig about also. Bear in mind our off/pre season has been very disrupted with injuries also, so we we underdone?

Right now to pick some holes in what you have said biscuit boy.

I responded to a poster that mentioned that deacon is better than pryce.Not even the most blinkered wigan fan can agree without looking stupid.Deacon has been an average superleague half back with a good kicking game. And as for me making a judgement on pryce ,well i can do that because i have been watching him since his move from the bulls.And you then say i cant make a judgement on Perry ,but you can on Lima with Quote-" he's looking like he's going to take the league by storm. I'm that certain i've had money on him for Man of Steel. "You cant have it both ways digestive..

Because he's played extremely well in the friendlies? So he's probably seen him a couple of times even before yesterday. How has Perry played so far?

Wellens was far better than Tomkins yesterday, one fault(ish) but that was more Meli calling it and letting it bounce.

Getting boring. Both teams had players out, playing with injuries and as it was first game off the year both was underdone.

Injuries are part and parcel of rugby and can't say if he played or they played we'd have won because we will never know.

It was a draw which I thought was pretty fair.

It definitely won't be Warrington


lets hope we can do the job tonight
