Well Done Saints : Sat Sep 15, 2012 7:02 pm  

From a wigan fan id like to say bravo, you managed to again outplay warrington, something we have not managed to do and you were deserved winners against us the other week. I think alot of pundits and fans alike wrote saints off too early.

i'll second the well done ! saints turned up we didnt, saints took their chances where as atkins threw ours at the touch judge

We did what was necessary but there's a long way to go yet. I think Warrington will ultimately be thankful that they have a semi at LP after what should be a relatively easy game next week as there'll certainly be a lot less pressure on them to deliver then. At the moment I'm wishing we'd taken a loss tonight and saved that performance for 2 weeks' time...

Totally deserved, enjoy the week off.

Good post and kind words

I think we will play the wolves in two weeks at Langtree park, that will be even tougher as Westwood and Harrison will be back and they will be out to prove a point.

I think being away will take some pressure off them as well.

I,m not sure, think they will try to force the game, we know what needs to be done. Wire will fear us now the monkey's back.

Sometimes playing home creates pressure from a expecting home crowd. I think they will have less pressure in two weeks time, the pressure is then on us.

Coaching tip for the week!!!!

Tell Atkins the touch judge doesn`t play for Wire!!!

Re: Well Done Saints : Sat Sep 15, 2012 9:05 pm  

Yes, Well Done!!! Never thought I would be shouting for the Red V, but I did tonight.

pressure off for wire?????

I'm not so sure.

It's not about the voodoo hoodoo, more about the pressure to win the big one or even to have some kinda run in the playoffs before their team ages.

I still say last year was their best chance to win the whole thing. It does not mean it is not going to happen this year, but Wigan are still favourites for mine. Especially given that Catalan where woeful, I was expecting them to be tighter come the playoffs.
