Damn right!
I've hesitated to post because I didn't want to come across as patronising. I don't feel that way so apologies if I do come across that way.
But I was stunned at how your lads kept going to the very end. Well impressed. I hope your team do not feel too low about our win because that fighting attitude alone could bag more points as the season progresses.
Unfortunately for Wakey you turned up at a time when Saints had been put through the ringer by the coach, who was getting annoyed at the players' tendency to get casual in the second half of matches (it's been a problem for a couple of years). Simmons took Wakey very seriously and ensured the players did too. He said in his press statement beforehand that if Saints allow your lads to take an inch, they will take a mile (as indeed they did - your try was indicative of that). That will be why we got up quick defensively. It cost us, mind: four players! But from a Saints' fan's perspective it was good to see us take you seriously and make sure you didn't score any further tries.
Good luck in your Easter games.
