1. Wigan on a winning streak
2. Just beat saints fairly easy
3. Saints in meltdown mode
4. Saints have a much better team/squad but because we are coached by an ape we are more aggressive
5. We are dirty and mean and we try to end careers of players.
6. RFL are always on our side giving us an easy run all the time.

Have i missed any thing?

Saints have the better squad on paper according to a lot of Saints fans!

Laughable.

Worst team to win SL
Worst ever CC final

Nobody likes us do we care?

to be fair i have never heard the super league one just the challenge cup.

Meltdown ?

I've not seen anyone make any excuses for the loss on Friday apart from Wigan being the better team on the day.

After some concerns at the beginning of the season, I'm starting to believe that our squad is actually pretty good. I'm not sure about a couple of players, but it is large and, on the whole, there aren't many weak links.

The other thing is - this is hardly a star-studded team, but Waney seems to get them all playing at a very high level. Players who I once considered journeymen would now be my first picks every week. The whole team's response to the big game atmosphere yesterday was tremendous. I wouldn't back anyone in SL against us when we're in that mood.

If Wigan win its because the standard of SL is dropping.
Wigan use dummy runners to block the tacklers whereas other teams use dummy runners fairly

Walking to the ground some comments made by some fans was truly embarrassing, one lad in particular shouting:

"Look at these Wiganers here, all got their heads down cause they know their gonna get spanked today"

"As if they are gonna take our 100% record away from us"

"....and that Matty Bowen, worst full back in Super League".


Imbecile haha!

The funny thing about this post is all my Wigan mates have been telling me saints only had a 100% record because the standard if super league this year has dropped massively.

I think fans just read into it as they want to see it. Last week you lot was predicting a hammering and stating how poor you lot are playing but now after the Good Friday game it's all changed and Wigan are the best again.

MM ate Wello’s arm?

Did he?

Shouldn't be eating meat on Good Friday

The Stains board is hilarious at the moment.. And St Pete has given one possible reason why Stains lost... And i quote...

"I've just posted on another thread how the Easter fixtures are tough unless your Wigan and it's crazy having the cc the week after Easter.

Wigan rested players against London last week for Good Friday. They can rest players at home to the bulls on Monday and then rest players against another championship side the week after Easter. Also add the championship side they played two week a go.

The RFL have been very kind to Wigan over the busy Easter period. Why other teams are preparing for two local derby games in four days then cc the following week, Wigan have had the chance to rest players for a month."

It's the RFL's fault...

Haha hook line and sinker.


No excuse from me for the loss on Good Friday. I could go thru the game and say I thought this and I thought that or SOL Should have been sent off or mm was biting etc etc Eric but as I've said, we was beaten by the better team on the day.

However, I do feel Wigan have had a easy pre and post Easter which certainly helps. Easter is the toughest part of the season playing so many games in short space and with them being derby games adds to the intensity if the game.

It's the planning and player management over Easter which is the struggle and it's pretty clear Wigan have this year had a easy pre/post Easter

Saints - Hudds (a), Cas (a), Wigan (h), Widnes (a), Leeds (a).


Wigan - dewsbury (a), London (h), saints (a), bulls (h) and Hunslet (h).

So basically you can rest players 4 out of the 5 games pre/post Easter.

No , did you not see on the previous page he hasn't seen any excuses ?

It's a pitty a few more of there fans can't have the grace in defeat as their coach did in his post match interview

Nathan Brown was spot on.

But how do we know Brown isn't resting his players for the Leeds tie? The saints team practically stopped playing at half time and Brown said in a post match interview it was only 2 points dropped....

That was me

Your missing the point. Your think we rested players Friday ? You think we rested players the 2nd half?

Anyone with half a brain will know the Leeds game is the most important at this stage. It's true it's only 2 points dropped Friday but it's obvious we'd rather have won that game over the Widnes game On Monday.

The cup draw is random, not sure where the 'RFL are being very kind to Wigan' fits in.

Looked more like Wello went in with his forearm raised VERY high into the face of MM

You're forgetting that we only came back into the GF to beat Wire because we purposely went out and injured 3 of their players...

Along with the fact that Cas and Widnes who they played/will play at the same stage as we played/will play London and Bradford would prior to the start of the season (i.e when the fixtures were allocated) have been considered a similar standard of opponent. It is just unlucky for Saints that their two "easier" ties allocated in November/December have turned out to be against two teams that have been performing much better than expected. Though it is a bit rich for fans of the Saints to be bemoaning their recent luck after the Hudds and Cas games.

if that is a sending off offence by lockers then it really is time to stop playing rugby league..never a sending off in the history of man.

If anything wellens should be the one cited for putting his forearm in micky macs face!

At least they've had the referees to tip the balance back their way.

How any Saints fan can talk as if things are somehow stacked against them at present is astonishing. In an honest world, they wouldn't even be in the next round of the Cup.

That depends on one’s religion surely?
