In light of a tough month or two, I think Farrimond has done really well so far.

This aged like milk. One of the most dull, boring games I’ve seen lmao

When did Wigan last nil Saints?

a win's a win however it's made

I’m a Saints fan, so not even got that consolation unfortunately

There's only one that ever sticks in the mind.

I know there was a lot of negativity coming into this game with our form and key injuries but I thought we would win and I’m normally pretty negative pre game. Whether we like to admit it Saints have more key injuries in equally as key positions. I think had we been in our game we could have hammered them today so I'm not of the belief we have turned the corner but it’s a big boost. Imo we should rest a lot next week to try and rejuvenate the squad, it will be a risk but aside from the last time we played them Hull have been poor, I think we need to be fresher come the play offs even if it risks a top 2 place.

2016 off the top of my head. think gelling got a hat trick

Was that when we beat them 28-0 at Wembley?

Andy Greg.

Eranoo, it was just 27-0

It was all on the halves for us tonight. If they could create for us, we had too much elsewhere and they did just that. I thought Keighran looked a better halfback than centre and Farrimond was so much better for having some responsibility.

Men against boys. The simpletons on redvee were claiming saints would win lmao

For sure, also Farrimond seemed to have taken the brunt for the Hull/Wire defeats - unfairly - but he has gone away, played in the Academy and come back better.

Saints forwards were woeful today, no punch in any of them. I’ve not seen the stats but I would be surprised if any of them made anywhere near 100m. Robertson is a handful he glides across the pitch. In hindsight I bet Wellens wishes he had picked one of the young lads at HB. They wouldn’t have changed the game but they would have gained valuable experience.

With the ball in hand he is pure quality, defensively he has to be more consistent. Today he was.

Thought Luke Thompson and Junior Nsemba were outstanding today - two elite athletes.

Not just today, all season.

Thompson is a machine.

Defensively Havard has improved unbelievably he really hits hard now which has been a worry

It’s extremely rare you could give Peet some constructive criticism but I think we could in how he handled the situation of having no hookers and an inexperienced halfback in the side. It was over complicated in using Farrimond at 6 in the defensive half of the field, then him at 9 in the attacking half and using Ellis as a 6. It meant Harry Smith was trying to create everything, on both sides of the field and Farrimond just looked a bit lost. He was given a role tonight that really suited his game and we got a glimpse of that all round threat he can bring.

Our pack was well on top today. Dupree did a job on Walmsley.

27 Nil Wembley
Did we miss Farrell today errrrr nooo think he is passed his best been a good servant but going backwards in my opinion ..

It helped that Walters decided this week was the one to have his best game for us so far, by a long way too.

Looked more like the player i was expecting us to sign.

Good win, exactly what we needed to hopefully right the ship. I do agree with the poster who said we should rest a few, particularly in the Forwards. I would like to rest Nsemba but unfortunately i am not sure how possible that is now with Farrell injured. Thompson for sure should be getting a well earned rest. I would also rest a Winger and give Douglas a run out, whichever we feel would benefit from it more.

A theory seems to be sweeping social media and Red Vee that Wigan are constantly getting Wigan refs and don’t lose games when they’re in charge and only lose them when non Wigan refs take our games. You couldn’t make it all up! Yesterday was the 5th penalty count we’ve won in 23 games. We’ve been peppered all season, both home and away.

When are Isa and Cooper due back? We could do with the experienced bodies in the pack to rotate and freshen us up.
