Although it is only the first round of SL there could be ominous signs for Wigan this year. We had our pack dominated last week and they didn't perform fantastically against NZ Warriors by all accounts.
The Saints have a fantastic forward pack and it released Roby & Walsh in dangerous positions which totally overwhelmed Warrington. I think if Wigan get into a battle down the middle we might struggle to get into the positions we need. If Saints do so, especially with Masoe to come into the squad, Walsh and Roby could embarrass us in the same way.

It's good we've seen such an effective performance by the Saints so early in the season. Hopefully Wane will look at a different gameplan in defeating the old enemy come Good Friday. Either way, it offers to be the most exciting Good Friday since Maguire's first season in charge at Wigan. Roll on Easter!

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!!

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.
