I expect to find out tonight or tomorrow. From what I got told yesterday, they don't think anything is broke.

That's good news, priority number 1 of last night was getting through unscathed!

From what I've been told, nothing has been broken. Will have to wait and see I suppose.

A big worry for me was how we played the ruck. Wigan completely dominated that part of the game and in our struggle to fight against it our discipline slipped. I think Bentham was getting a bit carried away though, considering it was a friendly.

I really don't think we can dive off the deep end on a friendly.

This time last year we had just beaten Huddersfield in a Friendly, people were tipping us to win the league. Then a week later we got mullered by the very same team at the same ground.

Lets at least give them a couple of competitive games before we throw the towel in.

I think some of you guys have unrealistic expectations of the season ahead. Saints played better than I expected and it was a good standard for a friendly. You will be in the top 5 again this year

just watching the game on Wigan TV and the one thing that sticks out is that Wigan's pack defiantly made the most meters and for the majority of the time on top.

also the tackle from flower was marginally late, it wasn't from a kick it was a pass and literally there was mili seconds in it. He then collides into Amor who was standing in the space he was running at.

Apart from the mass substitutions I thought it was more like a regular game the way the players went at it. It was a very different game from the Huddersfield friendly and from what I saw we need a massive improvement to even be close to winning anything this year.

The Walsh injury looks like a complete mash up of Walsh, Amor and Flower on Wigan TV (think its flower anyway).

There is only one camera angle but there didnt seem to be anything in it, just a collision really.

Hopefully nothing broken.

Hope Walsh is OK.
From behind the sticks it looked as though Walsh and Amor had collided. Both ended up on the ground with Walsh staying down.
Enjoyed it and it was a "trial" game to me more than a friendly or warm up game.
There was little friendly about it and no one seemed to be warming up.
I thought Wigan started slower than Saints probably due to the previous week when Saints played and Wigan didn't.
Both sides will be looking at their penalty count against as with that number it would be difficult to win any SL game.
A good tight game - 16-18 with 7 mins to go.
Really looking forward to the season now.
BTW anyone know the crowd on last night?
