My neighbout at the game reckoned it was a really good game of rugby league. I didn't think so, neither side were great, and the conditions didn't help. Not a game to live long in the memory, I think, but two points, and Saints defeated, that'll do me fine!
The Easter eggs will
Taste just that little bit more sweeter after that result
listen they wouldn't give too hoots about the quality of the game if they'd won and neither do I, a wins a win
Hmm, it was a bit scrappy at times but very good at other times, sprinkle in two bits of magic for Field's tries and some brutal defence by Nsemba, O'Neil, Smith and French we are a hard to please bunch
Another perspective, watched with relatives and in Gloucester (so the Wade signing got tongues wagging) we were all entertained and on the edge of our seats at the end.

Lot of mistakes in the game by both teams. Field looked anxious under the high ball today. Took his tries well though
Under one high kick and that was swerving all
over the place.

Wigan never looked like losing that game and Saints only came into it in the last 10 minutes through our errors. We had a tough game at HKR, Saints had a relatively easy game against Wakefield. Get our props back and we roll them no problem. Let’s see how both teams perform next week.

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
The VR’s explanation of Smith’s disallowed try was bizarre as well. He said that Dupree had gone through the line, stood still and didn’t interfere with play, he then chalked the try off for Tyler preventing the Saints lad making the tackle. In my view it was a poor decision as Delaney was well beaten before he came into contact with Dupree.

O’Neill makes a massive difference to our defence.
