The conditions made it worse, but there's no doubt that was a very poor game of RL. The lack of intensity (or atmosphere) was alarming. I expected Saints to ferociously tear Huddersfield to bits as a knee-jerk to last week, but they only looked a little bit more interested than the Giants.

As for Eddie Hemmings, he must have been watching a different game. At one point he said something like: "Royce Simmons demanded a big performance after last week, and boy is he getting one."

Yeah, right.

And in front of a massive crowd of 6,421.

Went game last night. After hearing plenty of fans saying Wigan get all decisions their way. Wigan are the only team who have players (well one player who moans at the ref and has tantrums which are like a spoilt child!). Wigan are the only team who get away with Dummy runners in the line (despite it being a certain other team being very good at it before the clamp down!). Wigan are the only team who cheat. Wigan are a team of scooters, and of course Wigan being the team putting 3 players in the tackle to slow the game down.

It was interesting to see flat passes given as forward, saints get a pen for a flop but then not given the other way. Wellens, Graham, and Pryce have a good whinge at everything they could!
Wellens kick the ball away twice before Clough got in on the act! Saints get a couple of tries from the video ref with strong claims of obstruction!
Plenty of scoots and men in the tackle slowing Huddersfield down (Not saying anything wrong with it just seemed strange they are copying us!!)

Part way through the game I thought Sam was playing but then realised they just Booo anyone!!

Nice to know you all still love watching us play even when we are not at our best.

Was a similar score line to last week, of course when wigan play it's an intense game with great defence on display, when anyone else plays it's a bore fest.

You could cut and paste this thread into any game that wigan play and it would be a carbon copy of what other fans say about wigan. Of course the Wigan fans would then berate all other fans and say that a defensive game can be entertaining too.


Should I expect a swift ban now!!!!

No ban for peole talking b&llocks....

Last night wasn't a game about good defence though (defending Pies here against a saint feel sick) it was a game of 2 completely clueless attacks and up the jumper rugby, no runners, no 2nd phase just 5DAAK rugby, bloody hell it was like Noble was coaching both sides.

Dull game, clueless attack, at least Wigan follow up their defence with options in attack.

Saints tactics were so easy to work out i even managed it.

5DAAK, unless they kept the Giants down their own end on the handover then it was 5 drives and wide out to Meli draw the winger pass to Foster.

Tedious game

Now you know how Saints and Leeds felt for years. Wait till next year when M McGuire goes home and your stuck with Wane as head coach, it will be normal service resumed.

Crawling out of your closet again Rogues?

No, it wasn't, although Saints produced some superb scrambling defence. It was about a team that had just lost a Challenge Cup semi final making sure it won a match that could provide those fit enough to play with the confidence and launching point to aim for Old Trafford.

Wigan fans are always on about how defence wins games. Ergo. Defence won last night's game. We wanted the win; we got the win.

It's not difficult to defend if the oppo team just run down the middle at 3 defenders and don't throw it about, i bet Wakey would have kept Hudds under 10 last night

You can only beat whats put in front of you. Dire fans commenting on how cr@p other teams are is pretty amusing considering that apart from a couple of challenge cups you've been gash for decades. I'd love to know where your arrogance comes from.

eBay.

Wire fans will never change mate,ignore the buggers.

What's arrogant about saying last night you were oridnary and played against a team that were ordinary, if that had been Wire i'd have said the same thing.

On a side note yeah gash for years but never been boring in my life time.

Can't wait for the Wigan v Warrington game. We'll have a field day with our comments.

Our attack was virtually non-existent but that is down in part to Leon opting to keep his shirt clean and in part down to playing the second halfback pairing in as many weeks.

However, to say our defence - especially our scrambling defence - was ordinary is just plain daft. It won us the game. All we needed to do last night was win the game. Objective achieved.

Well ... Wigan going into a decline was how Saints ended up being the top side last time, so maybe it'll work again for you this time.

WHEN I SEE THE SALFORD I GO OUT OF MY HEAD, I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH, JUST CANT GET ENOUGH
ALL THE THINGS YOU SAY TO ME AND ALL THE THINGS YOU DO, I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH, I JUST CANT CANT GET ENOUGH,
WE SLIP AND SLIDE UP THE SUPER LEAGUE AND I JUST CANT SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF
S.A.L.F.O.R.D, S.A.L.F.O.R.D, S.A.L.F.O.R.D, SALFORD RUGBY!

WHAT A PATHETIC ARGUMENT.

PUT THAT BOTTLE OF CIDER DOWN!!!!!

It is a fair shít song though...

edit

IM ON WHISKEY AT THE MOMENT.

Exactly - there was no scrambling needed. Did Huddersfield even get the ball out wide?

We're a poor team playing boring rugby; we have a low number of crap fans who sing rubbish songs which we copy from Wigan. Yet you have a 5 page thread devoted to it. The irony

Come on Claire - let's go and start one on our board.
