| Quote: Mugwump "Credit where credit is due. You were very good ten minutes before half time and twenty minutes after. The rest was Saints' game. You won because we were down to bare bones injury-wise and gave you three gilt-edged chances with seven minutes to go (and you were also the beneficiary of a forward pass resulting in a try).
I don't have anything to "weep" about. I thought we were the better side.
How many points do you get for being the better side?

| Look simple as wigan won saints were offside all game and got away with it so I think a forward try pass is evened out by the fact that you should have given a penalty away during every single one of our sets.
So stop the sour grapes and celebrate the brilliant advert for RL that it was!

| I thought we were very lucky today and overall it was a poor performance but it is still very nice to win
Saints had a lot of players missing and sufferered bad injuries during the game such as Weeler going off, a player I always thought was overated but he was absolutely fantastic today before his injury. These injuries turned the match and Saints were well on top prior to this. There is definately much to work on from a Wigan point of view and I thought our forwards would have been a lot more dominant considering the injuries that Saints had. Our pack has definately been a weakness so far this season. Also our defence on the right with Tomkins and Charnley looked particularly weak.

Both sides had ball calls made against them. But only one of such was a call on a try-scoring act. You can't return from such. A ball-steal or Deacon's mistake still give the defence chance to atone.
It seems "We were lucky" are the three hardest words to say. And yet I'm accused of not being magnanimous.

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 |

You're confusing my honest assessment of Saints' performance with my knowledge of the rules of the game. But I realise this is a difficult concept to grasp.

No - I think you'll find that [i"Both sides had ball calls made against them. But only one of such was a call on a try-scoring act. You can't return from such. A ball-steal or Deacon's mistake still give the defence chance to atone."[/i is an indisputable fact.

Saints had 43 minutes in which to return from that call and build up a match winning lead. If you don't build a lead that can win you a game and don't defend well enough to keep the opposition out then you don't deserve to win the game.

You can still make a tackle after a ball has been thrown forward you know! The simple fact is you didn't have the defenders in the right positions to make the tackle. Stop grasping at straws and have some dignity in defeat. It wouldn't hurt you to take a leaf out of Foster's book. Class act that lad. Pity I can't say the same for you.
Great game and great advert for Rugby League.
