Just accept the reality Rogues: our u18s blow yours out of the water. If the group stays together, they may even beat you in an u20s Grand Final! (Assuming your group is ever good enough to get there, obviously!)

Just got in now and read the score. Well I never. Was lead to believe reading on here that the Saints under 18's were the best in biz. Seems not.

Apparently we had a very bad off day today.

Just do what Rogues does when Wigan lose.

34 of them were called up for the army to fight in Libya, 27 of them had their A Level exam ball so couldn't play and 9 of them were playing for the first team. Those that played were refugees from Romania.

No need to worry Simmonds will give them 4 days off

Do I get the feeling that you don't rate Roycey boy BJ?

A blip/bad day at the office. I don't believe they have become a bad team overnight, especially at this age. Not like a pie-eater to exaggerate. Let's see how they go on next week versus the other best team in the comp this year & how they develop next season. One swallow does not make a Summer for Wigan, let's judge the 18's over the full season or does that not suit you lot

Strange how the U18's league table has been removed from the Saints site. As I explained a month or so ago it should never have been there as all the teams do not play each other, and is NOT published by the RFL or any of the "trade" papers.

The point you are missing is that Wigan included about seven of their newly promoted U16's side. I don't know but I think the Saints side was mostly the ones who have done well this season.

I'm sure SaintsFan will confirm or deny it, as by her previous comments will know which players have played in that side.

It was mainly the lads who have done well this season, hence my comment that it was an off day & Wigan played well & not that they have become crap overnight. To make a good comparison/judgement, let's see how the 16's & 18's from both clubs progress over the next couple of seasons. I think it is you who is getting hung-up over the 18's league table you harp on about it so much!
