The effort and desire was there. You cannot fault the effort, as for you coments they will be treated with the contempt they deserve!!!

Good job he was actually praising the effort and defence, and not the cutting edge then.

Did you actually read his post?

You're probably right.

But two points. Neither did Saints. The conditions clearly played a part.

And secondly it would be bizarre to suggest our boys don't deserve credit for their defensive effort tonight.

Nah Tricky is right,our defence and effort was superb.

I dont think it was down to having no cutting edge but more the fact that we spilled the ball or made an error everytime we had a chance to score. We had plenty chances to score in the first half but came up with an error.

Saints the so called entertainers had no more cutting edge than us. With the amount of field position they had they should of easily won the game.

I will give you one post of retort as I haven't seen you before.



You can have all the effort in defence in the world.

If you are not clinical enough in attack it will hurt you.


It did tonight.

It was a great game tonight great defense by us and by saints. The effort in bad conditions was superb by both sides. I know we lost but its one game that i have not come away disappointed if we play like that next week it will be a Wigan V Saints final in the CC

I can't see anyone claiming effort and defence somehow magically give you a cutting edge as I write this.

I can, however, see a poster who is seeming to completely misread the original post. And oh, look - it's you.

Although Flanagan had a very good game, his botched pass after the break in the first half did prove to be costly.

It was a nip and tick game, though - it was going to come down to a small error here or there.

I wouldn't be too hard on anyone as a result!

I really hope that you are a youngster and have never seen Wigan in the 90's.


That was not a great game.

from a neutral point of view i thought it was a great game to watch, tense and some superb defending.

A really good old fashioned derby!
Well done to both teams.

you c@ck full stop

Just got in, did he botch it or did Wellens fluke a hand to it.

Flanagan & Mossop both played well beyond their years tonight.

The players that had poor games were Roberts & Joel.

We just didnt get the bounce of the ball we needed, but our defence was heroic, Bailey or Lockers would have made the difference tonight.
