Got a couple of games last year including Saints at home. |

Well here's a first DaveO I actually agree with you.
A tense game but very little if any quality in attack from both teams.
Still a win on a Good Friday will do for me irrespective of the quality of the performance.
Looking forward to the next encounter when hopefully both teams will be near to full strength and conditions more suitable for an expansive game from us.

We are not going to win many games by scoring just 12 points. The frustrating thing is we seem to get into the oppositions 20m area a lot but then have no clue what to do. Did we even try at any point in the game the same move Saints put on for LMS to score when they did? |

We don't try anything different, we haven't done for 2 years - you should've realised that by now!

We are short of guile and craft. In other words, a key 'master' at 6 or 7. Edwards and Gregory were masters at opening up defences. As were Mountford and Bradshaw before them.
Mind, we are short of class all across the park. As are all the rest of Superleague thankfully.
Having said that, the lads played well against Saints. Bags of effort.
Salford could be a tricky game. I recall when they 'took our scalp' when we had won tons of trophies.

Going by the Wigan website we didn't even score 12. |

According to the Sky Sports Score Centre and Sky Sports website Mossop kicked the conversion after Manfredi's try and Smith converted after Burgess's try. |

It may surprise you to learn that the average tackle time is actually slightly faster in SL than the NRL has been getting marginally quicker each season since 2012 |

Yes, it would surprise me very much. Before this season, I might have agreed with you. But this year...?

| Quote: Orrell Legion "But for their injuries, before and during the game, Saints would have walked it'"
Not sure about walked it but I'd agree we were one or two halfbacks away from a win for sure. Our forwards put us in the right position time and time again but we had no creativity or guile to make the most of it.
I'm surprised we stayed in the game for as long as we did give the personnel on show for both teams. |
