Well could only listen online, but sounded like they tried out our defenses, but could not breach them. Infact if Shenton could catch then we may have closed the game out much earlier on, before the Sia try.

Sia and LMS both dropped the ball over the line as well.

What really impressed me, the fact we was under constant pressure for about 20 mins but we took what the threw at us and went up the other end and got the winner.

We showed steel, grit and determination.

They are still as dull as ditchwater to watch, but they can hold on to a ball generally speaking.

Really ?

Last time i checked Wigan were top scorers in the super league. We're much better to watch this season in terms of attacking play so your dig at Wigan is a little harsh.

I wouldn't worry about her opinions, Even most of the other Saints fans think she's off her head!

From what I've seen from you lot, it's good rugby to watch.

Wire's error count was no worse than it has been all season, they play a full power, high risk attacking game and it had them at the top of the pile - that was until they met the all new super saints!

Another first rate performance and I've been blown away by the way we've competed these past two games. Backing up for Friday will be exceptionally hard though. That said all we have to do is stop Tomkins and we stop Wigoon.

Nah! Maybe for other teams, but for a derby, you have to stop every man as we found out last year. Liam Farrell crashing over had no influence from Tomkins.

Form goes out the window on Derby day.

You said that last season too and yet you were still dull to watch! Amazingly, many people on here came to agree with me as the season progressed. You're overly structured. Some like it, some don't. It worked for you while Maguire was over. Whether it will continue to work with you under Wane is another matter. But I personally find you dull to watch. I prefer Warrington's brand of rugby, when they can actually play it.

The trouble with Warrington's style is that it's strewn with errors.Wire fans have been saying on their board that they are lucky to be that high up the league due to the very high error count in their games.

Like I said, I prefer Warrington's style when they can play it. They aren't playing it at the moment; they are messing it up.
