And three of those you mention won't be about next season either to add to Graham and Puletua. Grand finals aren't won in April, but win our game in hand and we're joint top without playing well at all yet apart from one game at Bradford and a backs to the wall win at Huddersfield.

Still plenty more to come.

Including Fielden, Hock and O'Carroll to boost the pack.

I love this bravado after a tough defeat. The losers always rush online to tell you how they're not too bothered. "They did us proud. We had the moral victory, etc". The reality - i.e. for those who were actually there - was somewhat different. Walking back into Wigan alongside shed-loads of St Helens fans, I didn't see one of them who didn't look too bothered.

10 out of 10 for putting a brave face on it. But the reality is that Wigan have had all sorts of disruption in the last few weeks, and subsequently have been well under par. Saints youngsters played well, I'll give you guys that. Despite Wigan's problems, it was still a big effort to run us that close. But ultimately it was a wasted effort. Futile bravery is still futile, and looking towards the future is entirely the realm of the those who are failing in the present - especially when, as others have said, the sinews of your war machine may not even be there this time next year.

Funny how you describe looking towards the future as such now. For the last few years all's you have told us is wait for a few years when our senior players go!

I thought Foster faking injury on 76mins was very unprofessional, did you see that? or the forward pass to Meli in Cardiff, what goes around comes around.

If Saints lose both Graham and Puletua I will guarantee you a Star signing will be arriving for next season.

It's funny how one minute Graham is crap he then signs for the Bulldogs and Wigan fans announce were losing the best prop in SL.

With the production line that we have and the signingd were willing to make. Saints will be in with a shout of trophies for many years yet.

It was a bloody good game. The game last year at the DW was the game of 2010. That will not be far off this year.

As for us Saints getting used to it... erm no

I didn't say Wigan fans were immune from it.

But let's not have people pretending they weren't bothered about losing yesterday. The Saints team was and so were all the Saints fans I saw on the way home. Two points lost is still two points lost, however brave the manner of defeat.

That would be disappointment at losing that you saw. But no-one would have been disappointed at the effort our players put in or at the realisation that for all Wigan are last year's champions, you had to rely upon a try from a forward pass and a literal last minute piece of footwork to win the match against a patched up side that lost two crucial players in the first half.

I know that if I was a Wigan fan just now while I would be delighted to get the win, I would be concerned that Wigan hadn't taken Saints apart under those circumstances.

You don't look like champions; you haven't looked like champions all season. We don't look like champions either but from a Saints' fan's POV, we are doing 100% better than we thought we would, even without half our first team playing. And we are playing the style of rugby league that all Saints fans long to see.

A win would have been great, and would have been deserved. We didn't get that. We were, and still are, disappointed. But whereas you can look at a team that hasn't come anywhere close to the form of last season so far, we can look at a team that - if it can only be kept on the park long enough - could beat anyone out there and in a style that has any Saints fan grinning with happiness. Our hope for the future is not about next season; it's about this season. We can see what we have in our team, how good it is. Our fear is that the team will never be fit enough to see that potential through this season.

See Webb at Leeds, not sure I have seen him make a legal pass in any TV game I have seen.

Lets not forget that the Wigan team are only just starting to get some kind of consistent shape with players in and out from injury etc.

Watched it on Sky + and frame frame by frame it was a line ball and not a mile forward like the SKY commentators are baying about and the touchjudge was in line with play.
