| They're so un-saints like it's untrue at the moment, lazy in the ruck lying on instead of physically dominating like they usually do.
They'll still be the side to beat come October, but worrying signs for them: Hudds were missing a lot of players weren't they?

Are they still tired from a game that ended 5 weeks ago ?'"
I think it’s more the fact we played 79 minutes with 16 men and got hammered with the ref resulting in lots of tackles that we needed to make.
Still players to come back and that’s a big win under all the circumstances.
Incidentally Penrith have lost 2 already.

No they aren’t. Warringtons scholars are light years away from saints and Wigan! I can’t believe you even claimed that!! I know you like to think you are “well connected” but if you really were, you would know the standard of the players Warrington have in theirs scholars. Even though St Helens beat Wigan, Wigan have the absolute crop of the scholars and you shouldn’t read into St Helens beating them

Only caught the second half, did Lussick only come on with 10 mins left ?
That Senior try was a ridiculous decision, clear he dropped it on the the first reply.

Pretty much yeah.
And I agree I think he dropped it.
The other point is Lomax getting a green card. Unbelievable. I guarantee Ashworth will get charged for that. Lomax milks it and they are down to 12 yet we are penalised for how tough Lomax is

Couldn’t believe that! Cost me money as well (had Saints -3.5). The angle they used to show that he hadn’t gone in touch showed clear separation and they missed it and never went back!
As for Saints, they’ll be fine. They’re never the flashiest of watches but it’s even more turgid at the moment but these wins are massive. There are some creaking bodies in that squad and it feels like they’ll need a freshen up in the next couple of years but they’ve got more trophy challenges in them yet (sadly).

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

| Quote: Stu M "Cheers. Rogues is usually the man for the Academy games. I wonder if he went last night. I went to the game last year at St Jude’s and there must have been 400-500 there. It was rammed last year but I couldn’t make it last night.
It’s all cycles in Sport. Wigans Academy was poor last season but the U16s were outstanding. Now all that U16s team are playing Academy and it’s a great Academy team this season.
There’ll be one or two superstars for both teams. As mentioned previously Farrimond was the best player on the pitch last season followed by Robertson at Saints. I’d be amazed if those two don’t break through
It does seem too that Warrington have got their act together with their youth set up.'"
No Stu, I didn't go, I was hoping it would be shown live on Wigan t.v.
I've just seen the trys and Saints looked a bit bigger, their fullback looked very good, I'll watch the full game at some point. Didn't Saints sign four players from Wigan St, Judes?
It's always difficult with the scholars as they are U15 and U16 age groups and that can make a bid difference at this level.
I'm looking forward to the Wigan v Saints academy game on the 8th April at Robin Park and particularly the Farrimond v Robertson duel, both really exciting prospects.

Judes did put a Facebook post on recently, stating Saints signed four youngsters.

my friend who was at the game said that the Saints pack was a lot bigger than Wigan, and stand outs were scrum half and full back.
For Wigan tried hard and forwards played above their size and loose forward had a good game for Wigan

Found out earlier that the FB for Saints U16s (one of the four signed from St Jude's) is a Wigan ST holder- him and all his family so I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Wigan in the next few years.

| Stu, what's your thoughts on Lewis Baxter? Ive seen that he's on the verge of breaking through maybe? I watched him grow up playing for Judes. Nice kid.

To be honest I've not seen anything in him as yet that makes me think he will go well. I don't think his physique is up to much either, always looks to be carrying too much weight.
George Delaney in the Academy/Reserves is a much better prospect. He runs really hard, he's in our 21 man squad this week and the rumours are that he will be in the 17 (he has played a couple of first team games before)

Seems like there are high hopes for Delaney and Harvie Hill going off their Knights call ups last year. I think we’re getting to the point where Hill needs to be given a chance. It’s not like our props are killing it and we certainly don’t want another Matty Nicholson on our hands.
