| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "I'd agree that Soliola was looking to hurt people last night, whether he intended on hitting him high I honestly don't know, but I doubt it.
In normal circumstances I can see why he would get a ban and I wouldn't have too much of a complaint. However after letting Bowen off last week, the RFL are on dangerous ground now and banning Soliola a week after not banning Bowen would just look stupid in my opinion. It wouldn't surprise me though.'"
And you wonder why every one thinks you're nothing but a WUM. At least the majority of Wigan fans admitted Bowen should have walked and probably deserved a ban. Yet you think Soliola was just poorly aggressive and a warning is sufficient.
Soliola should have got at least 10 and a match ban or been sent off for the attack, he certainly didn't miss Monaghan's throat. |

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Best line of the night was Clarke's 'No team has ever won the Grand Final after losing their opening fixture since Bradford in 2005'.....we might as well pack up now against those odds!!

| Quote: Father Ted "Saints played that well against us in the trial game. Trouble for them was Wigan were better than they were and miles better than Wire were last night.
That's one of the worst Wire performances I've seen ever bar perhaps the 70-0 or something at KR which got their coach the sack.
Wire are missing Morley, Hodgson, Briers, Carvell & Cooper who have almost 1700 first team games between them. They've signed Asotasi with around 240 games. That's just too much experience gone out of the first team squad. They were also missing last night Wood, Harrison and I don't recall seeing Grix either, they've got some experience between them too.
Wire's squad is very small with Currie being their number 17, Behind him there's Evans, Laithwaite, G Riley etc. no strength in depth at all.
Tony Smith has signed hardly anyone this last two or three years, nor hardly brought any Wire youth through into regular first team slots. This could be a long season for them continuing at Leeds next Friday.'"
I know some Wigan fans are reluctant to praise Saints and vice versa, but to claim that we played at the same level last night as we did in the friendly is absolutely ludicrous. |

it was a great win for saints last night but that said I don't think you played really well if im honest, but im not saying that wire were cack and that's why you won. Even though they were awfull, you did a lot of things well. but as the season goes on and you build on last night you'll win more than you'll lose. And potentially be a threat to every team.  |

But it was no surprise that Saints won last night was it? |

Not to me no. But the bookies had Warrington as favourite. Regardless of whether it was a surprise or not though, to suggest we only played as well as we did in the friendly is ridiculous. We did some very very good things last night and it's sad that some people can't recognise that. |
