Gleeson has been replaced, Roberts is pants and surely won't be registered now?

Wigan won fair and square, no ifs or buts about it. Despite a front of 'praise' for Wigan you are slowly developing excuses to why saints lost. Injuries etc are part of the game, trying to analyse the what ifs is purely speculation dictated by the poster, basically it's totally irrelevant.

Wigan have beaten saints for the past 3 games and if it wasn't for the draw in Wales it would have been 5 in a row now. Stick to the facts, once again Wigan are the dominate side, and yes it feels bloody good|

Saddened you really are one sad person.

You say you have praised Wigan, rubbish you have not said one good thing. All you have done is whinge about your injuries, even Wires injuries. Grow up and be gracious in defeat.

That's got to be a joke hasn't it?

Saints had plenty of the possession! but you have to turn it into points, it is no use saying if such a player has played well they didn't, Wigan's defence under that pressure in the first half looked so firm, though I would Fine Sam's Brother for not putting the ball down over the line, why force a pass that was not needed!

Why? You've signed an international forward and a SOO forward since he left.

It's about time after all those years of thrashings by saints and slightly above average league finishings.

But it won't last forever. Uber coach mcguire is leaving, other teams will come to the fore, players will be injured/leave.

In the current climate, the top teams seem to go through 2-5 year hot streaks when they in and around the trophies, grand finals, and top 2 finishings before slipping back into the pack.

Wigan will be a force, but only for the next 2-4 years before another team takes the reigns and the cycle is complete.

I don't think any of you have actually read any of what I've posted. Where have I said we lost today because of injuries for example?

Exactly, no point in having 95% completion rate and a whopping amount of ball if you don't do anything with it.

Only time will tell. But like I said, we are once again the dominate force. Roll on the double.
