I personally thought the Saints fans were superb,getting behind their team when behind.
Take note Wigan. |

| Quote Phil-P="Phil-P"In all honesty Saints should have run the ball here - Wigan on the back foot and looking out of it - didn't take full advantage of the favourable decision.
But yeh I think Silverwood had a great game tbh - let the game flow, ignored any whingeing or moaning from the players and both sides responded by playing good rugby league.'"
your right mate.....if they had run it we were all over the place and they would have scored.
there was a sense of relief round the ground when they went for 2 , knowing we would still get a couple of sets and be 2 behind, not 6. |

I don't think too many Saints fans are peturbed by today's result at all. Disappointed of course. Worried by what we saw? No.
It reminds me of a Regal Trophy semi in the early 90's when you just beat us with our team of 'up and coming' kids. The following years were pretty good for us.
My overriding thought is that if it takes an absolute last gasp win to beat the team Saints had out today then Saints future is very bright indeed. I'll take us with a full side later in the season.
Great game.

Form and experience means nothing in the derby, Wigan were under par but still found a way to win, whereas Saints looked closer to their ceiling - I'd take the current Champions over a four time GF losing team at the business end, regardless of who has the full side. |

The irony.
The point is that this wasn't the 4 x losing side. Its a very different one.
We'll see who's right. |

I'd be worried that our kids are easily better than yours. Three accademy GF's in a row would suggest that.
Kids like Wheeler are good BUT Tomkins, Faz and Mossop are better.
As in my op..............Onwards and upwards for one side. |

Look at the team Wigan won with in 2003 - it's means nothing in these games. What would worry me if I was a Stains fan (thank God I'm not  ) is how reliant the team is on the go forward of Graham and Puletua, and Roby working off the back of that. When they were off the pitch the momentum completely changed to Wigan for the 10 minutes either side of HT. I can see big problems as it looks increasingly likely both will be in the NRL next season. |

Yeah, because Wigan fans never do that.
Oh ... apart from when they were battling against relegation, when they did it all season.
Never mind. Better luck next time. |
