We seem to be in a perpetual 'transitional season' over recent years. |

So who will replace Burgess next week?
Hankinson to centre and Sarginson to wing with Marshall going to 5?

And ?
Every season there is a coming and going of players....mainly going, especially any class. Tonight showed us where we are ........you might have enjoyed that. But I certainly didn't. |

Spot on. The head in the sand approach must end soon surely. |

| Quote: NickyKiss "It was always going to be a bridge too far tonight minus 4 props from the start of the season plus Lockers and Greenwood. I wouldn’t start pointing fingers at Lam but I would question the teams decisions tonight. I thought going for the two points at 0-0 and then 6-2 was just throwing much needed field position away and giving their front row and their defensive line speed an easy way of keeping us pinned in our half. We’d troubled them in the first 5-10 mins as well but then had to do too much defending.'"
That's all true, NK, but it's like you only mentioned the good bits!  |

| Quote: NickyKiss "I’ve questioned the attitude of Burgess before and after a flying comeback this year, he’s gone backwards since the new deal was signed and I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s so so talented but he just doesn’t look to have the desire to be the best player he can be.
Frustrating'"
He reminds me of Charnley is so many ways, including his attitude and half hearted efforts now he’s become billy big . |

It's a footnote now, but does anyone agree with us going for 2 when we were 6-2 down near their line? I thought it was a waste of field position, still left us needing to score and basically said to an already-confident Saints "We don't think we can score a try even from here."

In hindsight no but at the time I think it was the right decision, get the 2 and continue to build pressure. I think most teams would have gone for the 2 to be totally honest |

Completely agree. It’s easy to forget their age when the way they are playing is far beyond their age and experience. |

In hindsight, Wigan should of known it wouldn't work as Wire did it 3 times last week and still lost..... |

Thought that was a dreadful decision that gave a really poor message.
Both Wire and Wigan in recent weeks have told the Saints defence they think it is too strong for them early on in games. |

It wasn't the right decision. But we wouldn't have scored. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I thought it was the right decision at the time, bringing it back to 6 - 4.
The two decisions for Saints 1st try were wrong.
1) The pass to Makinson was a good metre forward but, 2) the play should have been stopped just before that as Leuluai was being attended to by the doctor with a head injury. I thought that protocol was introduced this season? |
