Went to this game today to watch as a neutral on a rare day off. I'm neither a Saints/Wigan fan so very much went to watch a good game and, at times, it didn't disappoint.
Wigan deserved the win being too strong in the last 15 mins for the very young Saints side.
What was disappointing was the attitude of the Wigan crowd. Now I'm used to Wigan fans believing that all refs are against their team but I heard one "fan" call a Saints guy a "d##k" when he dared to question a decision that went Wigan's way. This led to a bit of a strange atmosphere, almost like a stand-off at times then when Wigan started to stretch the score in the last 10 mins their "fans" started chanting "Easy, Easy".
This went too far and was well out of order. The game wasn't easy at all.
For years, I've always felt Wigan think they have a god given right to win, dominate and expect any decision to go their way. I've seen it creeping in even at Junior (U8s) upwards level.
Mark my words, one day, such chanting (Easy, Easy) will cause something to kick-off at a game that isn't stewarded.
This isn't just the case with Saints as opponents either, as last year I watched Warrington U20s beat Wigan very narrowly and late-on that caused uproar in the crowd.

Amos Roberts played at fullback, so I guess he won't be playing on Monday.
Carberry, [sizeRussell[/size and [sizeCrowe[/size stood out for Wigan. I didn't get a team sheet but Saints no.11 had a very good game and was by far their best player.'"
hang on a minute.... |

Thanks, Brian. He did get mom for the 18s at Saints but it was hard to judge at the Hull K R game. |

How is Leatherbarrow going?
Never really put a marker down whilst at Warrington despite being "talked-up" when we first signed him.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

He made a few mistakes yesterday, his timing was out, and then got a knock (to his leg) and didn't come back for the second half. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Although Widnes lost today with Mellor scoring two in the process. Last week they beat Halifax, with Logan Tomkins scoring two tries.

Granted his tries are nothing special, but worth a minute and thirty of your life if you can spare it. 
Thnx to whoever filmed it. |
