The Bitterness is Growing - Love it
Was getting sick of everyone liking Peet as well
If Wardles try hadn't been given and the 1 on 1 ball steal hadn't been penalised Penrith would deffo have won by 30 or 40 or more
I also feel sorry for the Aussies, because they deffo don't whinge unnecessarily. They deffo don't like the cards all stacked in their favour and they deffo Don't react badly to losing
Having witnessed in person their 2008 world cup final loss they are the epitome of Good sports
Overall a very good day, just wished we'd lost to keep everyone else happy.

He is only talking about what his guys are doing and how the culture has changed from almost to being winners,surely he is allowed that.I will let him know that he is beginning to grate on you,I am sure he will be upset at the thought.
One point I do agree is that Wardle's try wasnt over the line it was infact on the line dragged over by the Penrith player.
You will make the playoffs maybe 3rd as I predicted last year.

Also like to add about the Aussies being good sports ,just like Saints fans in my view win or lose they are fantastic in their sportsman behaviour

I think it was on the line, and no amount of snapshots on social media will change my mind, or "very next angles showing it was short" when Penrith players had pushed him back.
Whether there's an argument for the double movement , but even then I wouldn't say 100% it was as the wrestle from the Penrith players almost seemed to contribute to the ball sliding backwards onto the line.

The 1 on 1 ball steal was wrong, but so was the Field no penalty for the High tackle

Winners are Grinners
Losers can make their own arrangements

Here's the thing, you're the one who's been crying and trying to get Wigan fans to buy into the fib that Saints pulled off the greatest sporting achievement known to man.

Like I said a few weeks ago, the lady doth protest too much, methinks. Add in the obviously salty attitude around our win and it's lovely.

World Champions again, 5* on the badge and a win Vs a far superior side to both Wigan and the one the self proclaimed "greatest sporting side in the history of the world" played last year.

I remember an Aussie ref ruling out a perfectly legitimate McGilvarry try for England in a world cup semi because it was the last minute and they would have got beaten.

Fook em

Again.. why call out Saints fans for not being on here and then jump in mob handed to disagree?

Did you seriously think that I was going to come on and congratulate you like some of the other clubs fans have done?

I doubt anyone would’ve jumped up at Dodds DG last year and I fully understand that. Wigan want Saints to lose every game unless it benefits Wigan and vice versa.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. You can still respect the club, fan base, youth production etc at the same time. The 2 things aren’t mutually exclusive.

I said before the game I'd much rather have an Aussie ref, and I haven't changed my mind on that. Moore may well be the best English ref, but it puts him on the spot, to say the least.

I don’t understand the opinion that Wardle doesn’t get it to the line. He absolutely does but the question mark is if it’s a double movement or not to get it there. He drags it in towards him but the try happened right in front of us and the ref sent it up as a try because his view is initially blocked and he runs around the bodies and can then see it is on the line at that point. Hand on heart, I wouldn’t be happy if that was given against us but all this talk of him not getting it on the line at all is wrong.

You know - I might be wrong but I think there could be a touch of bitterness in this post...

'Quite why you are seeking my validation' - aren't you the same poster who came on here time after time complaining that Wigan fans weren't validating your win last year? And be honest now



The onus is not on Wigan or any rugby team to get refereeing decisions right. We got a fortunate call, every club get calls that go for you and some that go against you - that's the reality of our sport with it being officiated by human beings who are as fallible as the rest of us. As previously posted, the decision did not decide the game - there is no logic in simply removing 6 points from Wigan's FT score as the whole game plays out differently if the decision is different.

Anyway 5 times.

Got to love a bit of holier than thou RedVee bull

I think everyone on here begrudgingly congratulated saints last year.

Personally i couldnt care less whether our far superior victory gets the approval of any fan. We are the greatest RL side in history and that is a fact

So there you go. You’re a happy man. You don’t need me to tell you well done so really not sure why you’re reacting so childishly about it.

And a far superior side without Crichton and Luai playing away from home



I’ll give you that Edward’s was missing

I’ll have a pint of what you’re on

Wowzers Stu, you’re better than that. Peet hasn’t said Wigan are the only club doing those things has he?! The only thing that has changed your opinion on Peet are the shiny things he’s taken from the E Cig Stadium and brought over to Wigan. He’s the exact same bloke apart from that.

100% spot on
He hasn't said any such thing, certain people opinions of Peet will have changed due to results that's all.

Well I’m not spending all night fighting a losing battle but at least you can’t accuse me of going missing now even if you don’t like what I say.

I was never going to come on last night with emotions running high.

Bet last night really helped with this https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/241 ... VsJwh2jRxQ

It’s to be expected I suppose. He talked constantly at the start of last year about the same things but he only had the Challenge cup in his possession then. He even said the same things once the cup had gone and we had nothing left and he says the same things now when he has 3 of the 4 trophies at the training ground. His manner is exemplary and Stu might well be the first person I’ve seen question it tbh. Even a huge Saints troll on Twitter said he was pleased for Peet last night.

Least when we loose the next two weeks we can blame jet lag

Honestly, deep down what response did you expect? I’ve not seen a single post on this forum from any other opposition fan that didn’t offer some sort of well done. It may not be intended and you normally come across as a reasoned sensible poster but recently you are coming across as bitter and jealous.

I don’t care who thinks what achievement is better. Any win over an Australian side is worth bragging about. RL is the number 1 sport down there, they have a bigger talent pool and significantly more funds.

The Wardle try - 100% the ball touched the line, it would be very easy to take a clip or a still to suit an agenda. The real debate is whether it was a double movement or not (incidentally this is what most of the Australians are discussing). Being honest I think we got the run of the green there but there is an argument to say the defenders helped him over the line.

The no try at the end - Correct decision under the rules, VR had no choice as it was sent up as a no try. If it was sent up as a try it would have been given as there was no real evidence either way. If we are going to force the ref to guess then as a sport we have to accept sometimes he will guess. Fields arms we’re certainly under the ball so it was not an unreasonable decision.

100% all the social media stills are from when he gets pushed back.

He absolutely gets it to the line and there’s a fair chance the tip of the ball was touching a blade of grass.

The bitterness is amazing, just shows the level Wigan are at. The jealousy is insane.

The same people saying he didn’t get it to the line are saying they could see May did get the ball down in that last second incident

(there is literally no camera angle in existence that showed that).

It’s been heart warming reading all the bitterness today, it really has. I am a bit disappointed that Robbie Rich Wolf Curry Mon hasn’t been on with his congratulations though.

When has Peet said Wigan are the only club to do such things ?

He’s often praised saints for being a similar club to us with regards youth etc.

You’ve been coming on here for years telling us how good saints/Welsby are, many of us have agreed but you wouldn’t give Wigan an ounce of credit for defending for their lives for 80mins against a brilliant team with several players missing.

The occasion last night dwarfed the preseaon challenge game from the year before and you know that.

That was what Jamie Peacock said

You forgot to add, halfway through the NRL season
