Quote ="SaintsFan"It was. You were great in the first half. But had we had any semblence of composure we would have scored more than the two tries we did score in the second half. Everyone only has to look at what happened at Cas and at other times to know that you are very beatable in the second half this season. We managed to grab a draw with you in the first game of the season that way and we were a goal kick away from beating you. Don't kid yourselves. You are a one half team this year. Warrington, however, can do you at any time during the 80 minutes and personally I'm expecting a proper drubbing from them on Friday night (as opposed to the one half drubbing that Wigan gave us).'"
Wigan have a habit of taking their foot off the gas in certain games but not really in games that matter. We've done it against sides like Bradford, Quins and Cas but not really against the big sides apart from maybe in Cardiff against yourselfs.
When the cup games and play off games come round we won't be going to sleep. We proved that against Saints in the Grand Final.
I read a few Saints fans trying to take crumbs of comfort out of these Wigan defeats saying it's more your poor play then our good play that decides these games. That's totally untrue IMO. The games over the past couple of years have looked like a Wigan side being that comfortable in itself that they can flick the intensity up when needed and they have too much. We play as a team and play tough, aggressive rugby against you and your lads don't seem up for it.
After years of getting shown up by Saints it's a very sweet feeling.
