It's his passing first and foremost, clean, quick and accurate. It's part of the reason our backs have scored so many tries.
Wigan have started like they have been finishing recent seasons very strongly, they deserve to be top and will just about be favourites for me, even though the bookies give Wigan 4 start.
I do think Saints have played the better of the two sides in the last 2 weeks, against very good teams they have dominated playing attacking rugby and have been impressive in defence (except for 8 mins against Wire).
For Wigan Riddell will certainly be a miss and McIlorum will probably be sore too, Sam can't be near 100% yet either, that amount of strapping and limping won't vanish overnight, I'm sure he will play and even on one leg he is a threat against any team but i'd certainly be targetting him and turning him in and out in defence to tire the affected muscle and lessen his impact in attack.
We always manage to make make Pat look very good by standing off him or going in high, and both Mossop and J Tomkins are very dangerous running on the fringes too.
Roberts has generally been outstanding, kick returns, making breaks and scoring tries for fun, our kick and chase will have to be top notch otherwise we'll constantly on the back foot, he's been like the player he should have been when you signed him - serious question is his contract due for renewal?
