| I agree a little bit with what 'nohalfbacks' is saying. Our game plan was completions in that second half, so why would we force a pass if we didn't feel like we could execute it? This goes then into what everyone else is saying. They couldn't execute because they are not HBs.
Everyone who plays rugby can pass the ball: it's how well they can do it and whether they can acheive that at the right moment. I didn't want Flanagan to pass the ball only to lead to an error just so we can say that we looked a bit flash. We wanted to win the game and ultimately we did without throwing passes that probably wouldn't have been executed correctly.
We were comfortable through the middle so that is where we played. Wigan made breaks and looked flash because they HAD to throw the ball out and make the meters out wide because of the struggle in the middle. That is generally where they make their meters anyway and that is why they are such a dangerous team. Sarginson, Gelling and Farrell are all dangerous in space. But our defence (and cover defence especially) was very good.
The point about cover is a valid point and something that every saints fan is aware of. We will have cover next season.

| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "Your bitterness is quite an ugly trait.
It's been explained to you time and time again why Saints didn't make the most of the overlaps we had. You obviously don't understand that.
What makes me laugh though is that your hell bent on criticising is for either having a poor coach or players who can't pass, and yet we still won. Weird that.'"
No bitterness at all here mate. Your analysis is way off the mark there. I am merely relaying what all my Saints friends have said! You disagree and so we will leave it there. Bye

My analysis is based purely on what you have written. It's probably best you do throw the towel in though.

Yes. And if you go on the Saints board you will find numerous threads which have been hijacked by an old and senile member of this board.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
