One team has to lose (unless its a draw

), therefore two excellent teams could play and the losers would still be worthy of praise. (I'm not saying either team was excellent BTW. This current Saints team couldn't live with say the 2005 Bratfut side, let alone the great Wigan sides of the early-mid 90s).



I applauded the Wigan team last night. They tried hard and didn't disgrace the famous Cherry and White shirt.



I didn't and wouldn't applaud BN though. He simply isn't performing and needs to go.

although not as good as keiron they still have roby and a knack of attracting very good aussies i wouldn't be surprised if they unveiled cameron smith as their new replacement

Wigan were full of effort and deserve credit for their attitude and approach to the game.



Fact is though that we had played Leeds in battle royals twice in a fortnight, one of which was 4 days prior, with a tough trip to Wakey in between.



Factor in a weakened team and the likes of Hull/Kr/Cas/Hudds would have hammered us last night.

Here we go knew this was coming



If the players play with that passion every week i'll be happy win or lose, over the last few years we have hadplayersnot wanting to play with pride just collect there pay check now we have some good wigan lads coming through who want to play for the club and care about what the badge means

Well a few weeks ago the majority of Wigan fans said they dont mind losing if the team show effort. The team put in a huge performance last night and everybody knows that Wigan outplayed Saints for the majority of the game. In the end what won Saints the game was a superb defensive effort and their experience of knowing how to win a tight game. The difference in the end was a speculative bomb followed by a lucky bounce straight into the arms of Pryce.



Like it or not there is no disgrace in narrowly losing to Saints. They are the best team in SL by far. They have just demonstrated that by totally dismantling Leeds. Had we had the bounce of the ball we would all be celebrating victory today. Thats the way it goes.

cudda sworn we got beat

ball and missed more tackles



My thoughts exactly.

Saints were well below par, looked tired and jaded and nothing like their normal selves.

We dropped more ball and missed more tackles than enough.

Yet Wigan still couldn't capitalise.



Any half-decent side would have beaten Saints comfortably on last night's performance.

Thanks most saints fans just say saints were poor but tbh I thought we made you look poor for most of the game, many of your errors were forced.

Exactly. Most of Saints errors came from our own superb defence and harrassing the Saints ball carrier.Only twice did we switch off in defence,once for the Cunningham try but full credit to KFC he has always been able to score those kind of trys and the other time Carmont charged out of the line allowing Gidley space to dive over. Unfortunately those 2 lapses Saints took advantage of but thats the kind of team they are. Their winning try came from a speculative bomb that we failed to deal with and the bounce of the ball could not of been more lucky for Pryce.
