Lauaki is terrible. He's like having two Gareth Hocks in the same pack. If Maguire and his 'alleyway' tactics were still around, Sky would need to start Wigan games after the watershed.

I can't wait to hear Rogues come on and tell us how brilliant the two of them have been this season.

And of course what nice decent lads they are when you meet ,and have a chat with them

Re: Wigan v Warrington : Fri Mar 23, 2012 10:34 pm  

they usually are nice lads across the board. At this level of RL theres no prizes for being the stupid hard man, you can just become a liability if the aggression isnt channelled correctly. Much rather have a player who grafts without the stupidity. luaki will know exactly how stupid he was, he was the difference tonight.

otherwise I think you are doing your side a disservice. Your pack need to adapt to the loss of FGB but you still have some classy players who can raise their game and you wont be far away come the playoffs

Well on the positive he was not sent off, so does us a favour.

Lauaki is the best second/third man tackler I've ever seen.

Looks like Westwood will miss our game next week and I expect Lauaki to miss the good Friday game as well.

I do hope he's not banned for Good Friday. He's probably our best chance.

did anyone think Wigan let us off the hook by going for the 2 all the time?

i hope we dont go for the two for the rest of season...hate it, i know at times it is needed but im sick of having a team on the line there for the taking and jonny wilkinson runs on with a kicking tee.

we are st.helens we need to start playing like it again, quick tap or get that bugger into the corner and play some footy, the stick we gave the bradford dulls for it and now we are now just as bad!!

rant over

Two teams running hot. Thought Wigan presented a greater attacking threat. But youth is no match for experience in tight games.

Noticeable that Wigan & Warrington not only play with great pace, they possess it in spades. Which is why we stand virtually no chance in a shootout where defences on both sides are weak. For every try we score they would score three.

We either keep it tight or we keep it up near a cricket score.

You're joking aren't you - Warrington haven't played well since we beat Huddersfield.

Re: Wigan v Warrington : Sat Mar 24, 2012 9:11 am  

reallly surprised at this? wire made a lot of errors in that game and if it wasn't for richards getting injured so he couldn't kick we would've lost. think we might have benny missing next week which is a huge loss. i will still back us to beat ya but think it will be another close game.
