Re: Wigan v St Helens
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Wigan v St Helens
Cade Cust also receives undeserved criticism a lot of the time on here but just watch his brilliant pass which set Liam Marshall free to score that brilliant try which took the wind out of Stains attempts to get back in the game.moto748 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:44 am I paused the game when I made the last post; I've re-watched it all now. I do think Marshall had a very good game, I think he negated a couple of errors with some very good efforts in attack and defence. Another thing that struck me was that Shorrocks, who has come in for a bit of criticism lately, when asked to do a more Lam-era tackling stint, did so admirably, in what looked like another piece of smart coaching to me.

I think it was bachelor not welsby

Re: Wigan v St Helens
I've been impressed with Cust, he's a work horse, Smiths improvement has probably over shadowed what he has done for us but I would say he's better than Hastings.ian.birchall wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 8:12 amCade Cust also receives undeserved criticism a lot of the time on here but just watch his brilliant pass which set Liam Marshall free to score that brilliant try which took the wind out of Stains attempts to get back in the game.moto748 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:44 am I paused the game when I made the last post; I've re-watched it all now.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Think Cust went through a quiet spell because he was still recovering from his injury

Re: Wigan v St Helens
Cust had a very understated role in that win he did a lot of the rubbish stuff no-one likes to do and he came up with some good plays when needed in particular the kick for touch. Hes a strong bloke who could easily play 9 or 13 and its a different prospect when a half has his frame
just a small note on the Welsby bashing i have seen on here and on twitter - not sure why, really talented young kid, who won saints the grand final against us by his attitude and work ethic. Sky have made him into a golden boy but thats not his fault and i think that teasing wind up is great but weve won nothing yet - he can easily stick it on us in the final again so i wouldnt be celebrating too much

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Re: Wigan v St Helens
Agree with the above. I loved watching us wind Welsby up, and the tactic clearly worked on the night. I'm equally sure that he'll learn from it. If we try the same again, possibly in the GF, I think it could be a mistake.

Re: Wigan v St Helens
Cust a far better team player than Hastings. Doesn't hog the ball and doesn't run down a blind alley and get caught in possession on the 4th and 5th tackle.
I honestly think Smith was not only hindered by playing behind a crap pack, but having to play alongside Hastings last year.
