Quote ="SLS"Since we're all so concerned with things 'biting us on the booty' at the end of the season, I've just done some interesting reading on Wiganer's thoughts on us prior to the season just gone.
This isn't 2006, Saints are now an afterthought.
Wigan's spine is 'head and shoulders' above Saints' (that would be the spine that lost to Makinson at 1, Turner at 7, Flanagan at 6 and Roby at 9 I take it
)
McIlorum is now a much better hooker than James Roby !!!!! I can't believe somebody actually wrote this down.
Matty Bowen one of the top five full backs on earth ! Oh, I couldn't breathe for laughing at this one.
Like I said previous, they're all loving crackpots.'"
If I could be bothered I could find plenty of posts knocking Wigan before the 2013 season, but if I want to keep my job, i'd better do some work.
You have found some good ones there though I have to admit.
Quote I could just state that Wigan are the best team I've ever seen and we should all lie down and not bother trying. The funny part is your board would probably consider that reasonable.
'"
That would be fantastic if you did that. The pandemonium that would cause.
Quote Wane made the choice to leave one prop on the field at any one time because your game is based on playing down the channels. That's hardly St Helens' fault, is it ?'"
Why would he have done anything else? It would be like Brown telling your team to fling the passes out wide and ignore the strength of your team.
Quote Sensible fans ? You mean fans that agree with you ? Well, there's a real shock !
The Giants ? We had no playmakers alongside a man sent off and still went close. You conveniently just gloss over the fact that Saints had zero passing game at the end of the season; they literally could do little except attack the middle of the field and yourselves, Leeds, Catalans, Cas etc still couldn't beat us.
'"
I don't care about people agreeing with me, this forum would be dull if everyone agreed with each other. It was more about Saints fans who can appreciate the opposition, something you struggle with.
The no playmakers bit is a bare faced lie. You had LH and GW playing. You were 10-0 up with just over 10 minutes of the first half left, against a team a week later got absolutely thrashed by Wigan. If you think Wigan should still have beaten you a man light, then surely you should have been able to hang on to a lead, against a team who a week later, was one of the poorest that I've ever seen in a play-off game. Or just maybe we helped make them look poor.
