We certainly have a lot of work to do and I was very disappointed that out pack couldnt dominate what was a very depleted Saints pack.
How so?
Josh Perry was out.
Fielden was out for us.
About equal I'd say in terms of depletion of the pack.

Excellent game with no quarter asked or given. The changing of the lead and the timing of the winning score made it a very special occasion. Both teams had periods of domination but IMO Wigan having score 22 unanswered points became complacent and brought Saints back into the game. Inspired by the ranting of Graham, Saints nearly pulled it off. Thankfully, the Wigan players never gave up and we won. Those poor Saints fans

Exacty what I was going to say. Fat Prince Harry, Roby, LMS, Puletua and Soliola (who was outstanding for them) are first on the team sheet!
