| Quote ="LewCharnock"If anyone has Wigan TV, I’d urge you to watch Matt Peet’s interview.
He’s spot on; our start was pretty soft and we could have gone after it more in the first 40. We were really poor first half and that’s what cost us the game. Watching it live on Saturday there was a real feeling of malaise watching that first 40; Sts were there for the taking considering the players they were missing.
That being said, the more you here from this Head Coach, the more it makes you believe we’re creating something special. He’s reasoned, measured and clinical in his approach.
The only thing I thought that he missed was that it looks like we’re going like for like with the 17 for Friday with KPP and Ellis. IMO, he got it wrong with changing the team so much from Wakey for the Saints team. I reckon with French at 1, Miski on the wing and Field at 6 we win that game last weekend. Onwards and upwards though!'"
I was unsure about Peet when he was appointed but so far I think that has been brilliant.
His honesty on Saturday's result was a breath of fresh air. We did well to hang in, scored some fantastic but made too many unforced and overall Saints were the better team on the day.
He comes across as the type of guy who learns from his and his teams mistakes so I'm quietly confident baring any major injuries come the playoffs we are more than capable of beating them again especially if we can resolve some of our defensive brainfarts.
He has brought pride back into the club and along with thousands of others I am extremely thankful that he did this especially that this was delivered almost immediately upon his appointment.

| Quote ="The Yellow Giraffe"I was very impressed with his interview after the game on Saturday when I watched it back, same as I was on Good Friday too. He doesn't make excuses, he is honest and he is respectful about the opposition. He doesn't come out with wild claims and seems to be very measured in his approach and in his analysis of games. Basically everything that Lam wasn't. You can't help but like the guy.'"
Not like Woolf then?

Yes, all of that. We are playing good rugby, and we have a smart coach, what's not to like?

Go on then.... expand bearing in mind the below are direct comments about our biggest rivals this season.
Saturday’s game had plenty to excite fans and neutrals alike?
The thing that I liked about it the most and all the things that we look at in terms of how we measure a game all said that it was a really high quality, high intensity game between two really good teams that are going to play finals footy this year.
Both teams made some errors at times, but that comes with big games and there is so much intensity and pressure on them.
What needs to be taken into consideration is how good a team Wigan are. They have got some similarities to us in terms of how hard they work, how well they defend.
They have got some real strike players and if you give them an inch they will find points and they did that.

| Good point stu m but it’s far easier for a winning coach to be magnanimous than a losing coach to be respectful, can’t remember anything specific but I don’t think Wolfe was so complimentary after the semi, but I could be wrong on that

| Churlish of me a little, the morning after French scores 7 tries and you win 60-0 but it seems like winning with 12 men isn’t for everyone….
64 mins with 12 men and 11 men for the last 8 and we nil an in form Hudds team. That’s exceptional. Absolutely incredible.
*also lost Hopoate after 3 mins so was down a sub for 77 mins too.

Cheers for that
Absolutely made up for you
Remember, we had to try and do it against the Best team that ever lived, who every single one of them is better than our players so it was a really tough task for us.
Whereas you played a team that is a millions miles away from your standard so although a good performance its not that incredible really?
As an aside
Yourself and YG amongst a couple of others were crying foul last week about attitudes towards away fans (in particular Saints fans) when they post on here. I didn't bother at the time but it was pointed out that not 100% agreeing with everything a Saints fan says in here isn't the same as being *insert word as I can't describe the attitude of the majority of Redvee fans to Wigan posters on there* etc
Imagine Rogues posting similar on Redvee and the response he would have got.
I've posted dozens of times over the last 5 years or so that this board needs the views of other fans more, otherwise it will become a cesspit echo chamber of myopic one eyed views, but even then it will never reach the depths of Redvee.
There will always be some who want to rail against a Saints fans view, but they very rarely reduce it to disgusting personal attacks (and please don't compare someone saying get off your high horse to some of the vitriol handed out on Redvee).
I really mean this when I say I wish more and more would come on, but I also say with it just bear in mind that we're not always going to100% agree with everything they say.
As I wrote about 2008/2009 to saints fans when they were top of the tree, and wish I could find the post where I said it,
"Your views and opinions aren't better or more correct than ours, your teams just winning so you think they are".
For the next 8/9 seasons or so the same could have been said to us in reverse, and now it's flip flopped for 3 years again.
It's the equivalent of the nob jockeys you see coming out of games when they win trying to antagonise away supporters who you never see or act like angry babies when they lose.
Anyway, enjoy your victory, we're all really pleased for you, I mean the way Saints have been magnanimous over the last couple of years in their victories has really made me warm to them

You do have a special team over there at the moment. That being said, Hudds were way off last night, having watched it this morning. All counts for little, each regular game is worth 2 points. All that matters is September/October (?) time and I’m pretty confident that Hudds and Wigan will be very close to Saints. Not sure on Catalans anymore?

I was surprised with Watson’s comments this week when he implied that Saints and Hudds are the two best teams.
Wigan are comfortably our nearest challengers and us and Wigan are the two best teams in the comp by a distance. It makes for a fascinating end to the season, a lot will depend on injuries. We lose Welsby or Lomax and we are potentially done. Wigan lose French or Field and it could be similar.

I think the full quote of Watson was along the lines of Hudds and Saints being the best two teams in terms of field position and turning the ball over, and I agree with him. Wigan have suffered that fate in games against both teams, with them only being able to get over the line in one game, but both really tight, nip and tuck games.
That’s why I say Hudds will be a challenger to Saints; their grindy style of rugby is suited to the play offs.

They did for a couple of weeks, in fact they were absolutely superb but it then feels like they’ve hit a bit of a wall. It’s understandable I suppose. I think a few absences have hurt them but everyone has those.

Its not churlish of you one bit, you notice that French had made history and Wigan had won 60-0 and the talk is all about French & Wigan (Especially on this board) that you felt left out so much that you was moved to mention how well Saints had performed.
Dont come back and say I am being sarcastic as I dont care you could have just said well done French and left it at that.
If it was in reverse and we went on Redvee do you think the response would be as accommodating.
