Re: Match Preview: 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

Thank you for the well deserved praisesaint wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 11:44 pm Congratulations guys . Totally deserved .
One thing was evident . Your team wanted to ensure you won at all cost !
I thought we were gutless and that’s what hurts not the score or the result .
Some of the comment on here are totally right. .you got into welsby from the off , dominated our middle which I never thought I’d say . I seen nothing but effort for your team , we were soft and heartless , unacceptable and disappointing from our point today view
Ive seen us play well twice this year but never seen us be so submissive and that’s something I ain’t seen since Cunningham .
Your team has played like you want your team to play in a Derby , so respect for that !
Enjoy your night and we’ll done

I don’t agree, I thought your team gave it everything they had. They are relentless, they just keep coming. What you are lacking is speed. Makinson and Hopoate may help with that.saint wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 11:44 pm Congratulations guys . Totally deserved .

Got battered in the pack and when matched for sledging tricks couldn't handle it.

The simple fact is saint where not allowed to build momentum by wigan and the mistakes happened when you where under pressure.
The same has happened in every game you've lost its just very rare for you not to be on the front foot with momentum in games.
Not that you have above but don't worry the media is blaming your injuries while ignoring your oppositions injuries.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

It was a cunning plan

Re: Match Preview: St Helens
What do people think about KPP at centre I’m not to sure I think Bateman helps him out a bit.

I think he was superb like everyone else in a Wigan shirt. As for Bateman helping him out that's what good teams do work together for each other all over the field. Why are you trying to bring a negative about the lad onto probably one of best wins for a long time at home.

Cooper was superb last night, always making good hards and pushing through the defence, also nice to see him ring Sironen's bell
Thought Thaler was OK, at least he penalised folk crowding into the PTB area, something other refs have forgotten.

Re: Match Preview: St Helens
So how did the game pan out.
First of all absolutely fantastic beating snakes. The commitment was out of the top draw and it was this more than anything else that won us the match.
Commitment was fantastic but our ability was very poor, we were dominated in the first half and snakes totally dominated the second half. It was fantastic how we hung on time and time again they put their bodies on the line and I cant praise them enough for bringing such happiness to us all. Yet again with the exception of Cooper our forwards just dont have the go forward. We played the second half with wave after wave of them coming at us. Peet swerved around saying his true thoughts on camera and rightly so as he didn't want to take away from the celebrations. I want to avoid saying if it wasn't for them three we would not have won but there are the facts.
Our forwards are a worry if we meet snakes again and I cant suggest how to fix it this year.
Well done lads there are some very tired and bruised bodies this morning
