Quote: Jack Kerley "If you say so, but neither the score, nor the toothless performance from the 13 man team back up that contention.
We will never know for sure, but I propose that any decent team would have taken Wigan to the cleaners. Saints had 78 minutes to soften them up, and then show some of their trademark "Entertainers" flair to put us to the sword. However, they looked as clueless in the 80th minute as they did in the 3rd.
When the sending off occurred, Eddie Hemmings must have made a mad dash for his Kleenex in anticipation of an evening full of climax. His balls must have been full to bursting after that Saints performance. No doubt he will find relief next year when you put the cleaners through Wakefield, aided by the two 19 year old "Monsters".'"
*sigh*... Here we go again... We had no halves left on the pitch... We had a prop at centre, a SR at #6 etc. etc. of course we were fragmented and disorganised and one-dimensional and scrappy... But we still almost entirely snuffed out your vaunted and full-strength backline with our cobbled-together ad-hoc line. And our forwards (with one less man in the rotation let's not forget, largely cancelling out our on-field man advantage) had by far the better of the game. It weren't pretty, but it's what we had to do to survive in extreme adversity, and ultimately you just couldn't find a counter it.
You're right - we'll never really know if wed've won 13v13. You think we wouldn't, I think we would. But the best team won on the night - that can't be contested. And if you [ireally[/i want to wail over the hypotheticals, wed've stomped you into powder 13v13 with our absentees present anyway. So there.
Comedy gold! I think it's time you took your own advice and got off this board with what dignity you have left. Unfortunately that would be none but seeing you came on with none at least you haven't lost anything!
