With your winners medal?

yes first of many

I'll be there

Bump.

Robin Hood for a beer at 1 p.m.

Wigan won 40 - 22.
Amos Roberts played at fullback, so I guess he won't be playing on Monday.

Carberry, Russell and Crowe stood out for Wigan. I didn't get a team sheet but Saints no.11 had a very good game and was by far their best player.

Just got in now and seen the result. Well done to the lads. I'm guessing neither Marsh or Goulding played?

Crowe, not a name I've heard anyone mention on here before, what position does he play?

Thnx.

How did he play today?

When i first read this i thought "Russell Crowe" had played for Wigan I am still a little hungover from last night though

Any chance of identifying the unknown St. Helens scorer, please?
Thanks very much

Was Shae okay, Rogue?

Went to this game today to watch as a neutral on a rare day off. I'm neither a Saints/Wigan fan so very much went to watch a good game and, at times, it didn't disappoint.
Wigan deserved the win being too strong in the last 15 mins for the very young Saints side.

What was disappointing was the attitude of the Wigan crowd. Now I'm used to Wigan fans believing that all refs are against their team but I heard one "fan" call a Saints guy a "d##k" when he dared to question a decision that went Wigan's way. This led to a bit of a strange atmosphere, almost like a stand-off at times then when Wigan started to stretch the score in the last 10 mins their "fans" started chanting "Easy, Easy".

This went too far and was well out of order. The game wasn't easy at all.
For years, I've always felt Wigan think they have a god given right to win, dominate and expect any decision to go their way. I've seen it creeping in even at Junior (U8s) upwards level.

Mark my words, one day, such chanting (Easy, Easy) will cause something to kick-off at a game that isn't stewarded.

This isn't just the case with Saints as opponents either, as last year I watched Warrington U20s beat Wigan very narrowly and late-on that caused uproar in the crowd.

He had his best game that I have seen him have for Wigan. Ran the ball well and defended well as he was up against Brotherton who Saints fans are hoping for big things from.
