Is Bill Arthur a saints fan?

Nah, totally impartial.

Great win.

Surely to be expected given Saints injuries?

Oh wait, we also have 4 of our starting 13 out in Bibby, Thornley, Tommy and Powell as well as Ethan Havard.

Only way tonight gets better is if Bevan announces he’s staying on the Skypad

[Wigan_forever1985]

So in terms of the match excellent defence best this year I would say - everyone played well imo - yes there was errors but the effort from everyone was excellent thought coopers best game and O’Neills too

So now to the elephant in the room we have only beaten saints twice in the last two years (I think) and that is when Powell hasn’t played

Tonight the first 2 tries don’t happen if Powell was playing imo and this is the problem people will harp on his defence but going two tries up meant saints were chasing they then started making mistakes

I’m not saying that it’s the only reason but O’Neill on that should keep his place - he won’t but he should

[medlocke]

How come their Legendary Hooker didn't win them the game

[up the junction]

I personally thought Smithies was fantastic My MOM by a mile

[Dan2266]

Think that pretty much confirms the situation with Wigan and his family, his first option is to get them over here, if that wasnt on the cards or even a slight possibility he’d of signed with the Knights by now
