Wigan were definitely in the tackle longer than Saints but there was nothing illegal in what they were doing, purely because they were getting numbers into the tackle. It is a tactic they have used very successfully since Maguire came in and the most disappointing thing as a Saints fan is that we don't try and use similar tactics to control the ruck ourselves.

There is an expected bitter tone from Simmons. However I believe he's a good coach. Kept a injury ridden saints in the title race, credit where credits due.

That is not the real transcript to be fair. He was very dejected in the press conference, but he would be after that. He did mention about us slowing it down but also conceded we did it better than them. He wasn't complaing about us slowing the play down he was more peed off that we did it better than them.

Its only natural.

His "in form" team were blown of the park tonight.

It is only right he should attach himself to some sort of magic gimmick that Wigan use to beat teams.

His players let him down, end of

Dont know where you get "in form" from. We were pretty dreadful against bradford last week, and have not won many league matches in the last couple of months !

Stop putting yourselves down mate......youve only got Warrington away next week

How many high shots did Tuson get off Wilkin without a penalty being given?

Also, after re watching the match (several times

). I notice that 9/10 tackles made upon Graham. He puts his head in the defenders legs and shouts or appeals to the ref for a penalty. If he put as much energy into running as he did shouting he'd be a better player.

maybe his 'head' is elsewhere

Not putting ourselves down. Just stating quite an obvious fact when you look at our results and performances.

Warrington are a very good team but the question still remains whether they have that killer instinct to grind out results week in and week out. They have had some terrible results at home this season, while at the same time playing some outstanding stuff against the bigger teams.

Much as it pains me to say it, wigan are definitely the benchmark, and if they play to the level they played last night, they are still very much the team to beat this season.

Was only joking mate, I for one, hope you beat Warrington next week, I have respect for St Helens as a club but I think I speak for a lot of Wigan fans when I say there is genuine hatred between us and Wire now. You'll be there at the end of the season when everyone is fit for you, still more to come from Saints this season me thinks and I wont be writing them off just yet.

I follow him on twitter. He's funny and quite laid back. I quite like him. He doesn't come across to me as bitter tbh
