I've just watched the tries on Wigan t.v.

Saints second try by Roby would never have been allowed with a video ref.

1) Lomax is in front of the kicker (Walsh) and inside the 10 when the Wigan player (Burgess) drops the ball.

2) It was Roby who passed the ball to the kicker (Walsh) so was offside when the kick was made.

Did you notice the knock on in the build up to your last try?

The build up wasn't shown, may see it when the full game is on. Swifts second try also looks 50:50 but you'd need another angle. Itf it was a try then it's a superb pick up from a poor pass.

Roby's was a definite no try though.

Thought their pack looked awful tonight if they play like that this year they will struggle.

We looked strong tonight in the forwards, best have seen in a long time and that was a friendly!

Just my thoughts!

Kingy

That was right in front of me. There was no knock on he caught it. Brilliant piece of skill

Haha.

That's interesting because I spoke to 2 mates and my Uncle after the game who were all stood in the Wigan end (not together.) They all said it was a clear knock on.

Great performance last night especially the kids in the second half. All of the forwards played well especially the props. Taylor was outstanding. Burgess excellent. Smith was my MoM. Just a worry and it's obviously too early but Bowen was dreadful. The attacking threat picked up when Hampshire came on. I'm not sure what to make of it because it wasn't really a friendly both teams gave everything. Look at the reaction of the players to our last try. I think that Wigan got exactly what was needed from the game. A good run out against committed opponents

I am not judging because his pedigree is without question but - Am I the only one worried about Bowen on last nights evidence?

We'll know for sure when it gets uploaded to Wigan tv. Anyone know when that's meant to be btw?

He did have a poor game but he was on debut, I'm sure he'll pick up. If he's poor against Hudds as well I'd probably give him amd Hampshire half a game each v NZ and play the better of the two in the WCC

I agree. Hampshire will push for a place. My worry is that we've brought this guy over and we have to play him, really it wouldn't be fair to him not to give him a dozen games or so. But on last nights evidence he could be finished. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. I hope so.

Did anyone get a good look at the incident that led to Walsh leaving the field? IMO Flower nailed him with a cheap shot. Can incidents in friendlies be reviewed?

It was right in line with us and my initial reaction was that he collided with Amor. Nathan Brown has said he is unhappy with it though so maybe I missed something. I'm sure if it was serious then there could be some retrospective action.

Brown moaning? Never.

Frustration at normal service being resumed I'd guess.

You really are incapable of normal discussion aren't you? Does a Saints fan posting on here really upset you that much?

actually i think you have chilled out a little bit lately and haven't been trolling like you used to but rather offering a saints fan opinion.

What wasn't normal about that? Just because you don't like it, you can't throw your toys out of the pram. Nathan Brown gets frustrated very easily and loves a whine (typical Aussie). It seems to be rubbing off on his teams supporters.

And fans of all clubs are more then welcome on this board, it makes it far more interesting. You do seem to have an unhealthy obsession though but each to their own.

Agree with that.

Round the time of our challenge cup win he/she was offering up a troll post every minute but that's seems to have been put to bed.

Just needs to learn that all posts won't always be to your own liking now and we've cracked it!

Haha. That wasn't patronising at all!



I also think if you drop some of the arrogance then we may also "crack it!"

Tough not to be arrogant when you support the double winners

Haha. It's possible to win with dignity you know!

At least you can post on here, I'm still banned from the saints board, 2yrs now it is, you don't get that long a sentence for armed robbery!!

I know mate, just pulling your leg. It's just a bit of banter which is surely what sport and these boards are all about. I'm a league fan above all else and a strong Saints side will be great for the game and for our derby so I hope you have a good year (minus any trophies, obviously).

Let's face it, the derbies haven't been great for a number of years now because firstly we were terrible and then you guys have been. A period of having both sides at the top of their games will be welcome.

I'm banned too, so as far as i'm concerned anybody who comes here being y, as you often are YG, is fair game..

no doubt you will call that a "personal insult" as normal...
