They are currently on their own board talking about this just being a pre-season. As we all know fans don't care about losses before the playoffs, that's why the playoffs always sell out. (surely shome mistake)!!!

Saints looked impressive tonight. And a lot of that was down to Roby. They are going to be hard to stop next week.

Nah. Only Wigan fans leave early. Wire fans stay till the death win lose or draw.

That is a very good post.
Every game counts to me and I don't believe that any player takes the field in any game and is not bothered about the result.If they aren't bothered they shouldn't be playing.

Roby has been very good but the Saints turn-around is about more than the return of one player.

The Saints players (including the backs) are running directly and they are running hard - Leeds and Warrington could not cope with this and this allowed Roby, Lomax and Lance H to control the game with ease.

I have been very impressed with Lefranchie, he has really led the way forward for Saints and Perry has also improved significantly for me.

We will need to play smart on good friday.

As always

I think the fact that it's a derby should ensure we're not blown away early like Leeds and Wire have been. They've both been off the pace and we should, touch wood, be able to go at it full tilt from the off next week. We know whats coming so it should be no suprise unlike Leeds who looked like they'd been caught out thinking it would be a walk in the park and Wire tonight who I guess were fatigued from a big effort last week.

A full weeks work of defensive work needs to be put in by our lads though. They need to be shown video's of how they blitzed Saints in the league at the Halton Stadium last year and in the cup Semi by swarming around and battering Graham and Roby and really wrestling the life out of them.

Sounds like a good idea for a poll, what do we call it:

Wire Waltz?
Dire Dash?
Smith Strop?

Bevan's \ Briers Bimble

Morleys Meander

Haliwell Hustle (personal favorite)

Not that i defend a walk out but a) getting battered and b) losing by a few points are 2 different things.

You could call the poll the Wigan insecurity poll

Insecure?

Wigan Fans?

Dont be daft

(were still friends right?)

My life would be so much more empty without Wigan fans in it

On your board I think your post would be called a bite and about 10 fourteen year olds would jump up and down saying how "awesome" it was you bit.

My fish meter is off at the moment, i've had a few scoops of %

Hopefully it will be a cracker next week. We've no idea why TP was out, so yet to see TP and Sia running opposite sides of the field. The Josh Jones was kept well underwraps by Saints and by the time Wire coud get in at halftime to adapt, we where able to cope.
