| Quote: St pete "What I don't understand is the Wigan
Clarkey justified his obvious bias ( ) by stating that Wigan had had the tougher opposition. It didn't look like that to me, frankly, since Hudds lay down and asked for their tummies to be tickled in the second half. And in the first half they couldn't make pay all the gifted field position they had. However, that was Mr Clarke's justification for his obvious bias.
Not that I'm bothered. I just felt so happy at the performance Saints put in for a second week on the trot. They haven't been able to back up even half decent performances for about 18 months, so watching some of those tries was very happy-making. It's fecking great to see and long may it continue!

| Quote: St pete "To be honest I don't think Clarke favours Wigan, he IMO always favours the flavour of the month but nearly always gives saints a big wrap and always compares teams to saints as we've been the bench mark in the super league era.
What I don't understand is the Wiganbut for the full 80 mins saints just dominated the game from start to finish, not just a good 2nd half display but the full 80 mins.

So absorbing everything a very physical side has to throw at you for the first 40, and then in the second 40, when you've beasted the game's beasts, turning it on and running them ragged, is not playing well for the full match?
RL is not about ballet dancing through truly crap opposition. That's no test of any side.

I didn't mean it like that, i was making the point of a team keeping the other at zero while putting 54 points on them with 6-7 players out is a complete performance imo and should have been a gold medal performance from mr wigan(clarke)

You can only beat what's in front of you but I don't see what Saints can take away from that performance, Hull KR just didn't turn up. Briscoe had a shocker, I'm starting to worry about him as England's only real option at FB as he's not had a good start.

You don't see what saints can take from that game! Come on, it was a top class performance. To keep any team zero while putting 54 points on the board is very good imo. It was a complete performance from a injury struck team.
I do agree about briscoe, fullback will be a problem for england.

As bad as it is to change Eastmonds position, I think we'd look a lot stronger with Eastmond at FB, and Tomkins and Brough in the halves.

Eastmond is a option as there ain't much elese out there playing fullback.

I was saying the same after we turned over Les Cats 58-0, it's great for the league table and a bit of a rest/confidence boost for the players but it's easy to walk over a team that just doesn't turn up, because you're playing under little pressure. I can see you guys going on a bit of an unbeaten run in the league now with Salford, Hull K.R and Hull F.C as your next opponents. If you're struck down with injuries it's certainly a time when you can afford them.

| We need a full back at full back. I can't see Eastmond being up to it positionally in defence, I really thought Briscoe would start to up his game this season and make the spot his own, he did well for us in the four nations.

I hope so, it's hard to keep backing up with so many young lads in the team at the moment.

Nothing wrong with it. I Just find it funny that you all call for 2 people to be kicked off Sky with one of the reason's being the bias that you claim they show against Wigan, yet support someone else showing that same emotion.

Totally agree, thought you made a valid point. At the very least, the fans who complain about everyone else on sky but praise clarke, are being hypocritical but I actually think they are deluded because I think that other than Eddie, who will praise a tackle on a Wigan player who's just run 80 yards without mentioning the break itself, but the others seem fair to me.
