| Quote: Phuzzy "We were awful Stu but I hardly think it was an "open goal", as you put it. You can't take 1 game and say it proves something about another. That's like saying the away defeat against Hull KR proved we couldn't win in the CC semi just a couple weeks later. Saints attack has been awful for a couple of seasons. Wigan's hasn't. It's all very admirable Matt Peet taking a "no excuses" approach but anyone thinking 3 games in 10 days at the back end of a long season didn't have a major impact on that performance needs to have their bumps felt. We were already in a dip of form prior to it so it doesn't take a genius to work out that it isn't exactly going to help matters!
Next week you start favourites for mine. I was already of that opinion anyway as we're all aware of the quality of performance we get the week after Easter (which is essentially what Wigan have just had) and yesterday's performance confirmed it. We have fallen off a cliff and the loss of Smith's kicking game will mean we can't even play behind that. Put it this way; if you don't take your chance this weekend, I doubt we'll have much to fear come the playoffs!
Talking of which, I think we'll be back on song come October. Are you bold enough to disagree?
Not sure how you work out we will start as favourites? I bet the bookies won’t have us as favourites- pardon the pun
We’ll have Welsby, Lomax, Dodd, Knowles and Batchelor out. Matautia is a chance I believe and that’s not even including Hurrell and Delaney
Also we keep being told that Wigan have the best squad in the comp. You signed about 10 props for a start. It’s on Peet for not rotating better. Farrimond was soon back to the Reserves after a couple of cameos but will now no doubt play next week.
It’s interesting how much Wigan fans argue against the one man team jibe yet they’ve lost 3 from 5 with no French and arguably only beat us because of the sheer number we had out.
We are 2 from 2 with no Welsby (I accept one was Hull)
And yes if I had to bet on a team winning the GF to save my life I’d still bet on Wigan but they’ve got to get back to form quickly and keep French fit

Me neither mate but the rumours persist. Tbh I'm not sure I'd play him anyway unless it was 100% that he was totally fit. I'm thinking back to how we brought Harvard back for the Grand Final too early and another 6 weeks or more out for French at this stage would be disastrous!

| Didn't the bookies give Saints a 10 start last time? Looks like they learnt their lesson!

If it was a final then absolutely.
