That looked like Potter's Saints. We were clueless close to the line, and effectively relied on offloads and individual acts of genius. The actual passing moves were truly painful to watch, being slow and entirely one-way, making it easy for the Wigan defence. We only have one player who can actually manufacture a move to break the defence, and that's Pryce. Without him, we rely on other teams making mistakes. Fortunately for us, the pies made just enough mistakes tonight. I think tonight showed convincingly that if it comes down to it, better to spend the cash on Pryce than on Eastmond.

With a fully fit Pryce and Eastmond, it would have been an emphatic victory.

With a fully fit Richards/Fielden/Roberts/Deacon it wouldn't have been

For me I think that draw is just papering over the cracks for you, you only got good territoy from penaltys and yet again you can only score trys from 10m out.

You wont miss Cunningham with Roby though, he is an outstanding talent.

The Saints pressure over the first 3/4 of the game wore Wigan out and so they had to resort to holding down / lying on and general spoiling tactics which (quite rightly) resulted in penalties to Saints.
After a dodgy start Saints could and should have won it.

CONRATS SAINTS. Never thought I'd bring myself to say that haha. Don''t know why though because I were pulling for you lot.

I am genuinely pleased you got something out of the game, one because you bursted Wigans bubble, and two because you deserved to get back into it after that balls up concerning the drop out.

Nice to know you were 'pulling'

Yes, devastated that we went down 28-18 with about 13 men left available. Not as bad as losing a 16-0 lead with 15 minutes to go with apparently "the best defence in the league".

I was disappointed with your 3rd seeing as it wasnt a goal line drop out

and you should have never been in a position for your second, when eastmond chipped and clearly knocked on, instead given against hoff. refs make mistakes. you had pryce and perry out, 2 key players, we had no pat, amos, finch, fielden. both sides look strong, and after the games so far are the teams to beat this year.

'Bursted' thats not even a word !!!!! thought the eastmond knock on that led to saints second try balanced that bad call by silverwood !!!
