Quote ="Eurob0y"The difference between Champion teams like St Helens, and teams like WIgan is that we know when to up the tempo and when to decrease the tempo. When we went behind I wasnt worried because I knew we would still win. Wigan to their credit threw everything at us, and we absorbed it and then kicked on when we needed to. There is no point playing the whole game at such a high intensity, after that bruising encounter against Leeds. A good coach will recognise when to up the intenisty.
4 players for Wigan stood out. Feka, Ainscough, Tomkins and Hock. Feka to his credit put a lot of work in and on that performance, looks a much fitter player than he did last season. Ainscough was everywhere and I am hoping he carries on his progression and makes a superb international winger. Hock is a wigan lad and ran himself into the ground for wigan, he is so devastating down the channells, but luckily for us, we have superb tacklers. Against another team he would have devasted them. Then there was Tomkins. I can see why the wigan fans rave over him. He is going to be something special.
Overall, chuffed with that. Wigan didnt just roll over for us like they used to. They just need to start getting themselves up for the hudds, cas, wakeys of SL and they will be there or thereabouts come the business end of the season.'"
Fair assesment that, Saints deserved the win just for their defence
