To be fair, not saying they'd win, but on current form Wire, Hull and Catalans would have given the NRL sides more of a game than we, Saints, and the Rhinos managed.

Catalans are half way towards being a NRL team.

I've stated on and off for year that SL is in decline, it's no coincidence that as more teams replace the genuine quality overseas players with youngsters the quality has nose dived. The British game doesn't produce enough talent to support an entire league, we have too many very average young players in the first team because of politics off the pitch. We can't compete with union and the NRL, we can't draw star names anymore and very best players are cherry picked.

The state of SL is deteriorating each season. The powers that be either can't see it or think it's the lesser of two evil, do they increase the cap and watch teams end up in financial crisis or accept a mediocre league with average young players.

i thought the whole idea of a French team was to promote French players, looks a mockery at the moment, can't blame the Aussies for wanting to play there... That said, I would have no problem with an "Aussie" side in London..

It's not a new thing, look at the great Bradford team, didn't they have 8 or 9 overseas players in the first team?

I'm talking about where we are, not we were.. The past is just that, and where Catalans are, is surely not what was intended.

Back on topic... Wigan win!!

Hoping for the best, fearing the worst !

Great win, will give the lads a lot of confidence! Second half defence was awesome.

I can't knock the players attitudes. They've been excellent all year and they were again tonight. Last week was painful but I'm happy that this group of players will have been just as hurt with that loss as the fans were and that's not always been the case.

We will be fine this year and I've thought that all year. We're a good side with good players but to win anything we'll need the majority of our best players on the field. If we get that privilege we'll go close.

Keep the faith (like a throw back to 2006).

Massive win, a great confidence booster and a week nearer to having a full team out. Didn't see any injuries during the game, lets hope!

Same again next week please.

That's exactly what we needed. Gags of effort and no new injuries reported (so far)! Excellent win and made even better as other results have gone our way. Chuffed to bits with that!

Thought Crosby did well in his first game back.

Bateman, absolutely the difference!

I was listening to the radio commentary live, and we still sounded scratchy in attack, but a great effort, and watching that last score from Bateman just now, wow! He is just such a good footballer; we must keep hold of him.

No injuries and Flower, Lockers and Gelling all due back next week according to Wane in the press conference.

Things looking up hopefully.

That would be awesome if true.
