As was the Saints fans booing a player who's head was pumping with blood. It was literally streaming down his face. That's the nature of partisan support.

I can easily say that as it is my point of view,his leg was lifted his other one he did it by himself ,both legs were not lifted ie Cust hand was not around both legs at the same time,he also did not land on his head his shoulders,yes.
Would like to point out I am not saying he milked it he clearly was injured,hope he recovers quickly.
If he does get banned so be it I wont cry we will just carry on,I hope he doesnt but players have been banned for less.

| Quote ="Pie_Eyter"But it wasn't over the horizontal was it? That's the point. It was a perfectly legal. Shall we start handing out bans because somebody makes a strong challenge now?
You are struggling to make a point because there isn't one to make. Wigan won, Saints lost, not because of the ref, not because Saints must play their strongst 17 every week and not because of bad tackling. They were beaten by the better team and by a team that is going to be miles better in a couple of years.'"
I agree especially with next 2 years comment and as Mr diamond sang- so good,so good.
Really enjoyed it last night,more to come I suspect.

| Quote ="MadDogg"I think he has to start - difficult to decide who he should start with. I think you always need someone on the field who you can trust to make some metres - Singleton and Byrne are durable but maybe easier to dominate than the other four.
You can't have 6 props in the 17 so one has to miss out. Patrick Mago is the interesting one - Peet clearly doesn't trust his defensive stamina against St Helens - he played around 15 minutes last night. I think on balance you have to say he should be in the 17 as he provides that X factor that others don't have.
It would (regretfully) be Liam Byrne to miss out for me.'"
With the Farrell injured Smithies may play Left back row with a prop starting at loose.

KPP will play on the left I think, probably with Bibby at left centre and Isa on the right.

Don’t disagree there, that got an involuntary laugh out loud from me due to how ridiculous it was. Hope he’s ok, that looked like a deep, nasty cut.
Pie_eytor saying it wasn’t over the horizontal is confusing me. Must be talking about a different tackle

| I have not seen the academy team sheet yet. Does it give us any idea of how we might like up on Monday? I imagine a couple of rests are in order.

Nothing to see here.

| I haven't seen it back yet but at the game it looked like Simm was trying to get to ground and so had his head lower than his body. I didn't think the legs went above the horizontal though. Like I say, that's only from seeing it on the night but if it hasn't even been looked at i suppose those first impressions were right.

| So I’ve seen comments about Smithies being a grub and Cust looking at a multiple game ban and we come out with no issues and 2 Saints players pick up suspensions.
Life just isn’t fair sometimes.

Must have been a case of mistaken identity by the review panel. It couldn't have been Saints players as they're the cleanest team since the 80s don't you know...

Cust won’t play. Miski and Halsall definite starters.

They are struggling to accept they are the boring grubs and we are the entertainers.

Like I say it would have surprised me if he did receive a ban,however 2 saints players have been banned !

Would zero surprise you? It’s a man’s game not tick and pass.

You must be talking about a different tackle to me too. The one you are on about didn't exist. Just Saints fans clamouring for any feeble excuse because they can't hide behind how bad their squad is past the 17.

Well done for the win but what tripe about a bad squad.
Somebody is forgetting how poor you were with the ball in attack with fewer injuries in the backs last year. . . . .
I guess we’ll see how rubbish our squad is come the play-offs.

| Quote ="FearTheVee"Congrats Wigan.
Some tremendous defence and took your chances well when they arrived.
We played with our usual effort, I was actually pretty proud of how we kept plugging away, but we simply didn’t have the bite to break you down. Wigan could focus on targeting Lomax and Welsby in the knowledge that nobody else was likely to do anything. And Wigan did that very well indeed.
Fair play to Peet again. Until next time!'"
Obviously I'm very happy with the win but I don't think you will make as many mistakes and not convert your half chances once the playoffs commence irrespective of how many of your backline are missing.
Our passing still isn't as crisp as it can be and with Tommy and Havard back I'm pretty confident that we can improve on last night's performance too.
Hopefully we will meet in the final but if one us doesn't make it I would not be too surprised.

I think the poor attack was more to do with Lam and Hastings rather than injuries.
Last year we weren't even as good as appalling.

Pretty surprising, aye. I’ll give one thing to the match review panel, their inconsistency makes them harder to predict! All in the name of entertainment I suppose

Don’t imagine there was any chance of Knowles/Sironen playing on Monday anyway, good for a giggle though
