But how do we know Brown isn't resting his players for the Leeds tie? The saints team practically stopped playing at half time and Brown said in a post match interview it was only 2 points dropped....

Your missing the point. Your think we rested players Friday ? You think we rested players the 2nd half?
Anyone with half a brain will know the Leeds game is the most important at this stage. It's true it's only 2 points dropped Friday but it's obvious we'd rather have won that game over the Widnes game On Monday. |

The cup draw is random, not sure where the 'RFL are being very kind to Wigan' fits in.

You're forgetting that we only came back into the GF to beat Wire because we purposely went out and injured 3 of their players...

Along with the fact that Cas and Widnes who they played/will play at the same stage as we played/will play London and Bradford would prior to the start of the season (i.e when the fixtures were allocated) have been considered a similar standard of opponent. It is just unlucky for Saints that their two "easier" ties allocated in November/December have turned out to be against two teams that have been performing much better than expected. Though it is a bit rich for fans of the Saints to be bemoaning their recent luck after the Hudds and Cas games. |

No excuse from me for the loss on Good Friday. I could go thru the game and say I thought this and I thought that or SOL Should have been sent off or mm was biting etc etc Eric but as I've said, we was beaten by the better team on the day.
However, I do feel Wigan have had a easy pre and post Easter which certainly helps. Easter is the toughest part of the season playing so many games in short space and with them being derby games adds to the intensity if the game.
It's the planning and player management over Easter which is the struggle and it's pretty clear Wigan have this year had a easy pre/post Easter
Saints - Hudds (a), Cas (a), Wigan (h), Widnes (a), Leeds (a).
Wigan - dewsbury (a), London (h), saints (a), bulls (h) and Hunslet (h).
So basically you can rest players 4 out of the 5 games pre/post Easter.'"
if that is a sending off offence by lockers then it really is time to stop playing rugby league..never a sending off in the history of man.
If anything wellens should be the one cited for putting his forearm in micky macs face! |

| Quote: Wigan Peer "The Stains board is hilarious at the moment.. And St Pete has given one possible reason why Stains lost... And i quote...
"I've just posted on another thread how the Easter fixtures are tough unless your Wigan and it's crazy having the cc the week after Easter.
Wigan rested players against London last week for Good Friday. They can rest players at home to the bulls on Monday and then rest players against another championship side the week after Easter. Also add the championship side they played two week a go.
The RFL have been very kind to Wigan over the busy Easter period. Why other teams are preparing for two local derby games in four days then cc the following week, Wigan have had the chance to rest players for a month."
It's the RFL's fault...'"
At least they've had the referees to tip the balance back their way.
How any Saints fan can talk as if things are somehow stacked against them at present is astonishing. In an honest world, they wouldn't even be in the next round of the Cup. |

You mean you didn't rest your players in the second half? Dam I knew I was using the wrong half of my brain... |

3. Saints in meltdown mode
4. Saints have a much better team/squad but because we are coached by an ape we are more aggressive
5. We are dirty and mean and we try to end careers of players.
6. RFL are always on our side giving us an easy run all the time.
Have i missed any thing?'"
7. Wellens - it's totally unfair that the laws of physics continue to prevent him from running faster than a mollusc. This is the most obvious and outrageous example of favouritism towards Wigan by the authorities. |

We have been rubbish in some matches. We also felt grave concern about losses in personnel. But what we're seeing now is what we saw last season - the gradual re-establishment of a settled and effective team, and the re-application of match-winning tactics. And given what happened last season, that is plenty reason to be optimistic.
If you don't recognise that, then you don't know very much about the game. |
