The Easter eggs will
Taste just that little bit more sweeter after that result

Paddy hamstring and Tyler failed his HIA. We're really struggling for props next week.

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

I think Firestarter was being sarcastic, Josie.

Had he not been binned I think Sam Walters would be got MOM. Smith was pivotal though in the win.

Same here. You didn’t notice the quality of the game at the ground. At 18-14 the atmosphere was electric and then when Miski went over to make it 22-14 the place erupted.

My impression of the game were Saints made more errors than us early on but two of our errors led to the tries to make it 18-14 but what won it for us was in my opinion pinning them down to their end of the pitch with some good field kicking a top quality chase to tackle them in the 10m. Did that time and again.

As to the referee very inconsistent and Saints were at times miles offside but the video ref? Good grief how long did he take trying NOT to award Misk’s first try?

The ball clearly went backwards from the kick so if a player touched a player it didn’t matter if it was a Wigan or Saints player.

Whatever, I am going to have a very pleasant Easter weekend :D
