But that match was nothing like Wigan -v- Hudds! It was pacey, it was great attacking rugby league! Wigan -v- Hudds was a snoozefest!

Like I said, you can have great defence but still have great open, attacking rugby.

Kerching! Wrong! WE did!

But even if you had, that wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference. Your method of doing so with your stifling defence would still have bored me to sleep.

It's all a matter of taste. But I'm on the open attacking play side, with a good defence obviously.

You'd make a great coach. 'Right lads, I want to work on defence. But not the type of defence that doesn't concede points. No. I want defence that looks pretty, and of course, we all know great defence and open attacking play are mutually exclusive. Concede away!'.

I thought Wigan was very very good last night. There defence is the best in super league by a mile and as everyone knows, defence wins games.

The young lads at Wigan look like they going to keep Wigan a top side for years to come. Charnley IMO will be England centre in the next few years. His loan spell at hull KR and from what I've seen of him back at Wigan I think this lad will be class.

I couldn't help but think how much better wigans young lads are better than ours. Wheeler and lomax IMO ain't going to be half the players charnley and marsh will be. I also had the same feeling watching warringtons young lads last week.

Maybe we've just hyped up the likes of wheeler and lomax because I don't think they are half the players other clubs are producing.

You mean with the exception of ours tonight?
You are being a little premature me thinks.

If we're so boring, what does that make Saints given you only scored 8 more tries last season?

Bloody brilliant, obviously.

The defence was great last night at Leeds. It shows what a little hard work and never give in attitude can do to a teams defence.

It's only one game tho mate, Wigan have done it all last season and all this season. Let's hope we can find the confidence to keep it up.
