Come on admit it Wigan looked in a different league the way they broke through Saints line & their passing, yes a lot better second half, but nothing still to get carried away with.

To be honest Wigan must have been below par today not to rip us a new one. Not a top quality game, both sides turned over a lot of ball and feild position

As it turns out results in our favour this weekend.

Re: Rubbish : Fri Mar 29, 2013 5:39 pm  

Wigan weren't at their best in terms of finishing, too many dropped balls. I think the score line flattered Saints slightly.

To be fair though, Wigan at least have players in their preferred positions, despite having an injury struck pack. Saints' problems with people out of position is really costing you, even the best team in the world are going to struggle if their line-up is upside down.

Sadly, the game lost some of it's magic due to the injuries, I don't think it can be entirely blamed on lack of desire or heart.

Who is getting carried away ? Just looking for some positives in a bad day.

I don't think there was any lack of desire, or heart, at all. We were beaten by the better side on the day, a team that has some top individual players, like ratboy and Charnley. Given our lack of a 1, 6, 7, 9 and 13, we did pretty well.

Our lack of a creative 1 6, 7, 9 cost us more than their lack of experience in the pack did them. They are too organised defensively for us to have had a hope in hell of beating them with Wilkin and Wellens at 6 and 7.

Sums it up really.

We seemed to win the forwards battle, but we lacked that spark to get us over the line. If we would have had Lomax I think it would have been a different game.

Their tries came from long range and I cannot really recall them having too much ball in our 20?

Overall, we have to be satisfied with that effort given the team we put out.

The second half wasn't too bad, but there is a risk that the second half improvement masks what was a shocking performance first half.

Don't think anyone is, but we was never going to come out blazing with the team we had out. Once we settled and got into it we played much better. Shame we were 18-0 by the time this happened though.
