I would like to see how many trys have been put past us from silly penalties that the players dont seem to learn from. I think thats why were 8th and not were we should be also the soft defence at times.

It was 36-6 with McIlorum on the pitch. Maybe a coincidence. |

I don't think it was any coincidence at all. Riddell has been a big disappointment. Not sure if that's down to the way he's being played, or simply a poor attitude on his part - but he should be dropped in order to sharpen his ideas up. That said, with Smith now out of the equation, he probably won't be, because Tommy will stay in the halves. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Play McIlorum for a full game and bring in Flanagan or Farrell.
Riddell has been nothing but shocking other than one or two plays all season. |

I do not agree at all.
He doesn't give away penalties, he doesn't drop the bal and his distribution is good. There have been times when we have battered teams and then gone off the boil when McIlorum has come on, the Salford league game at the JJB for example.
Riddel has been average, not shocking at all. He hasn't produced magic, but he hasn't lost us games. |

I think what we havent had is both Hookers have a good game at the same time. When Riddell has started games well McIlorum has come on and we have lost the tempo. And other times Riddell has started poorly and McIlorum has came on and played much better.
If they both had good games we would look so much better. We need consisitency and thats what we have lacked all throughout the season.
