Quote ="bewareshadows"You must have seen a different game.
Their defense was immense, you don't win finals with flashy rugby. There are very few spectacular tries scored in finals.
You need low errors, low missed tackles, low penalties. High completion rates and a good kicking game.
Add to that and intensity and energy and Wigan had that in spades.
What worries me is that Saints have coasted most of our games and when we last met Wigan their pack was full of youngsters.
How we react in a knock out game, when we are level pegging or behind after 40 minutes is what will test this saints team.
If we play percentages and look to apply pressure we will be OK. But recent knockout games seems to indicate we don't enjoy the arm wrestle and errors creep in all over the place from all our players.'"
Nope. I watched exactly the same game as you.
You might be crapping yourself, but even the Wigan fans on their site are talking about 'improvement needed' from their performance against Salford. It was decent but hardly terrified me.
