I’ll be surprised if Saints win this one. This Wigan team is outstanding although they are missing one of their props.

What do I know. Saints must have a decent team too. 46-18 win. Wigan didn’t score a point in the second half. Will be interested in Rogues take on it.

That was pretty brutal, the scoreline maybe flattered Wigan a touch. Saints so much bigger and powerful but backed up with intensity and execution. Their starting front rowers are huge and I was impressed by their number 5 on the wing, really athletic and had a bit of a chip on his shoulder/aura about him.

I think that is an excellent summary.

The Wigan side has one or two players who might cut through in a few years but Saints and Warrington have most of the pick of that younger age group.

That’s the first game I have watched this season but in the 5 or so years I have watched the Academy I have never seen Wigan get dominated like that. You could point to the size difference and say the Wigan lads have more growing/filling out go do so maybe more improvement but it was far from just size that made the difference, Wigans heads seemed to drop in the second half and it seemed some gave up almost, Saints to their credit kept the foot on the pedal and it was a bit like men against boys.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Who’s that then?

Nobody stood out for Wigan today, the pack got dominated by the Saints front rowers almost bullied.

I’ve heard big things of Nathan Lowe but he was playing with his head up his backside today, doing his own thing.

Jack Farrmond showed some good touches but that’s about it.
