Yet lost.

A bit like Pat Richards last year?
A try which would have won the game for Wigan?

yeah, we were in the Anvil, 5 Scottish guys down from Alloa in Scotland for the game (4 of them for their first game) and they absolutely loved it! the aforementioned lack of marketing/effort by the RFL isnt helping spread the game, it could and should be bigger than Rugby Union but were being held back in many ways

I love how you ignored several other posts stating pretty much the same thing. Well played.

Thanks for reminding me about your awesome grand final posts (of which the above is a carbon copy) which by your accounts you actually won , "yada yada yada"

. "Why anyone takes this troll seriously is beyond me" .Oh and by the way! we're the current reigning champions not just last years winners .

All down to conditioning, which is the responsibility of the club. Look how many times Sam Tomkins gets knocked on his backside, the equivilent would knock your guys off the field, Sam just gets up and plays on. The Wigan lads dont pick up many injuries because they're well conditioned. It's an 80 minute game, your bench was knackered and we still had energy left at the end of the 80!

Cudda, wudda, shudda. You should learn to lose with grace like 99.9% of your fans. Speaking of which, credit to the Saints fans on Friday, great match day atmosphere throughout the day

Look how many times Roby gets knocked on his backside or Jamie Foster ... both of whom are similar builds to Sam Tomkins. Neither has been out with an injury yet.

Sometimes it isn't about the player but what is done to the player.

So, on the one hand you're suggesting I'm a sore loser but on the other you are crediting me? After all, I was a Saints fan at the match on Friday ...

You are in the 0.1%

Took my mate to the game and it was only the 2nd match he'd ever been to (the other being Saints v Wire at the start of last year) and he absolutely loved it. Asked me to let him know every time I go to a game now! Enjoyed every minute of the game and atmosphere on Friday. Even the gutted feeling of losing the game in the last couple of seconds didn't last long because it was just an awesome game to be a part of.

Does he not understand the concept of playing EVERY week

I work shifts and can't get to games every week lol, and for someone just getting into rugby, he's hardly going to go on his own.

I was only joking mate

Fair play xD Sarcasm is hard to read over the internet

True. I did put a wink tho

On other boards I've frequented, the wink is a show of arrogance! xD

You're joking, right? Roby is a hooker! He's a big, big man.

To be fair to Foster he took an absolute hammering from Charnley on a kick return and after taking a drive or two to recover, was back in the game.

Er no. Not compared to, say, Keiron Cunningham. Now HE was a big, big man.


Foster takes all manner of hammerings in every game but he just gets back up and carries on.

Great game on a beautiful day. The result wasnt what i wanted but another reason why Saints/Wigan is the best derby.

In the Anvil before the game there was Saints and Wigan fans chatting like always, plenty of friendly banter flying around and a good time being had by all. Walking to the North Stand and passing round the back of the East there were no comments made by any Wigan fans.

Inside the ground was a brilliant atmosphere with chants going back and forth between the fans (yours were IMO a little quiet at times but maybe i couldnt hear them properly). Still the atmosphere was brilliant, sounded like there was more than 24,000 in there at times.

After the game walking back over the bridge there were a few comments made but nothing malicious, just trying to wind some of our more volatile fans up. I heard a discussion about whose chairman has the most money too that made me laugh.

Despite the result it was a good day and the fans i think now (without some admitting it) have a mutual respect for each others team?

yours was the latest in the thread! what's your point? do you think i'm picking on you specifically? well guess what i'm not, anyone who tars a group of fans with the same brush deserves to be pulled up!



nasty wire slim

1) You Lost.
2) We didn't win because of a forward pass. If you take those 4 points away we still drew unless all our other points don't count either because they're against your precious Saints. That's before we even get to the points you scored that shouldn't have been. You can "woulda, coulda, shoulda" all you like but in the end it comes back to point 1.
3) As you so rightly say we haven't hit the championship form of last year so far. As you say; "so far". This is the same squad as last year, minus Gleeson/Feka but with the addition of two former kangeroos, a NRL grand final winner and SOO player and soon, GB International Hock. What makes you think it will be unable to recapture the form that destroyed you in last year's GF (except from your ridiculous one-eyed view that everything outside the super-dooper Saints is somehow, by definition, flawed)? Any rational analysis would suggest otherwise. Indeed if memory serves we drew at Cardiff (and should have won with half our team missing, something you seem to be keen on putting forward when it suits you) and, as for Friday, well....see point 1.
4) Enjoy the style of rugby that all Saints fans enjoy. By that I mean the one that took you to..well see point 1
5) As you say, you don't look like champions either at this stage of the season. In fact no-one in SL does yet. There are teams that you would expect to be there or therabouts come the playoffs, but that's as far as it goes. If we're looking at where both teams are at THIS stage of the season...well, see point 1.
6) Just in case you're still in any doubts about anything else...see point 1



HTH

What brush is that then? The fact remains that the pre-match atmosphere, and post match atmosphere WOULD have been different. Boo hoo

Dear God! I came off your board (despite there being many good and interesting posters over there) to get away from this ridiculous claptrap and now I have to suffer it on our own board.

By the way, only one-eyed Saints fans think we were lucky to win. I thought it was a great game that could have gone either way and that the team that played for 80 mins rather than 76 deservedly won. Indeed, that was the reality of the game, despite your bleatings about forward passes and injustices. You really are the most pathetic type of poster that these boards sometimes produce: a revisionist who believes their own delusions. Enjoy the match and be satisfied with the excellent performance your team put in but, for all that's holy, retain a LITTLE dignity in defeat. Your own 19-year-old winger managed it seconds after suffering what must have been a heartbreaking defeat. You still can't manage it several days later.

BTW could you give me this weeks winning lottery numbers please as, in addition to your wonderful analytical powers (

) you can obviously see into the future now.

i don't deny that the pre match atmosphere may well have been different! however the implication that all warrington fans go out to make it that way is a sweeping (hence the brush!) generalisation. now your either being deliberately obtuse or you know full well that was the point i was making and you chose to deflect from that with some childish emicoms! well played to coin your phrase!

i'm glad you had a love in with the stains fans, let's see what happens when you lose to them?







(there you go we're equal now)
