Stunned Saints only posted 38 points against an amateur team, including only scoring 10 points in the second half. Plenty to work on for Briers with the attack.

[quote="RobRiches":35oeulkp]Wigan celebrating signing the runts of the litter who didn’t get offered more than a year extension by saints is proper cringe.[/quote:35oeulkp] Is it that time of year already? Day release at Rampton. Your pearls of wisdom have been sorely missed, even if they are about as welcome as a fart in a lift.

When he is 'off' they suffer badly. It's no secret that i don't rate him anyway, a media darling but he can't link with Lomax because he offers nothing and neither did Dodd. They need Sailor to be very good.

Maybe they didn't want to show their hand against Salford, due to that being the first game but there are no excuses for not running the cleaners through an amateur team. They held some players back but you'd expect your reserves (and it was far strong than that) to run up a huge score, even if it was just done due to the difference in fitness levels. To score only 10 points in the 2nd half is incredible really.
