| I personally think Goulding should be dropped for a week or so in order for him to learn how to stay on his wing. He's an excellent player yet he needs to brush up on his defending skills a bit. Just like Joel was put on the bench rather than in the starting 13 for the past 2 games, yesterday it looked like he had realised why and so didn't really put a foot wrong. The same needs to be done to Goulding, some of his mistakes I think cost us tries last night.

| Goulding is a hard working & solid SL level player but nothing more. ATEOTD this was a one off match and for the rest of the season he’s going to be playing against guys like Blanch, Riley, Gardner, Hodgson, Hall, Calderwood & Colbon who he can deal with unlike Morris who tonight was simply a different class. Sadly it’s a SC world we live in and if having a guy like Goulding in the side means we can splash the cash elsewhere then it’s ok by me.
As for Amos, he’s got a lot of soul searching to do. His rep is built from some scintillating performances at the start of last season but sadly that’s almost 12 months ago now. For me when you evaluate his whole career at Wigan to date he’s been a poor signing simply because we know how good he can be but for the majority of that time he’s not reached those heights. As much as i’d like to see Sam move back to #6 I very much doubt Amos has the rugby brain or skills to play at FB in the style we require. He’s a broken field runner with an excellent turn of pace but as last night showed he’s not got the handling skills to come from deep and give that killer final ball to the winger on the touchline.
Lets just pray Pat can return asap because I truly believe that Morris wouldn’t have found it as easy going against a dominant presence like Pat.

| Just watching it back now, try 1 wasn't Goulding's fault, Stevo actually explains it well, the defence had drifted too far inside, you had Gleeson and Leuluai tackling their second rower who gets a great offload away. So Goulding's facing 2 on 1, they're that close to the line that the tackle has to be made pretty much instantly. Goulding takes the centre and at least forces them to make another pass, then Sam misses the final tackle and they're in.

| Try 2, Leuluai takes the wrong man at first, leaving himself bound to lose the collision, Sam T not strong enough to make the tackle. Try. Of course another big reason for it was Prescott giving away a penalty, just as Gleeson knocking on set up try 1

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Some people have missed the point here, I am not suggesting he is a poor player and I am not saying anything is his fault. He had a tough night against one of the top 5 wingers in the world, St George play to leave the wingman having to deal with an overlap because they have so many runners.
Goulding is a quality player, is he as good as Morris? No...... but I don't think Morris could cope for a whole match being left open by the guys inside. Even Pat would have struggled tonight. I love having Goulding in the team, he runs it back far better than Amos or Sam and he is always hungry for work.
In super league world class wingers are not needed, its world class centres you need. Pat is different because he has so much more in his game.

| Try 3 is down to Goulding, should have stayed outside
