Would you care to explain how someone's grammar can suggest they're docile?

It's a shame you don't use it more often then isn't it? I seriously doubt someone with an IQ of 146 would post some of the garbage you come out with, let alone mistake the words 'docile' and 'imbecile' which is all I can presume you meant.

| what a derby, so proud of our side tonight
we seemed to defend for at least 60 minutes and fair play to saints for keeping the foot down.
we defend like that next week and adapt better to the conditions in attack and wire will not live with us next week.

| And for the record:
Quote Everybody thinks that Albert Einstein's IQ was very high, but this is definitely not the case, his adult IQ was just above 160.'"
One of the greatest ever minds. I'm guessing he didn't feel the need to quote it to 'prove' his intellect either!

| Having read the previous opinions on the game and the interesting discussions supporting differing points of view, here are my thoughts on Wigan's performance in last nights match.
Good points
Awesome defence
Never say die attitude
Some great individual breaks
Not so good points
Poor ball control (despite the wet conditions)
Poor kicking game
Poor options close to Saints line
Mediocre go forward
Unnecessary penalties
Poor support to some great breaks
Saints defence was really great as well last night which contributed to our difficulty in making progress from our own line. The rest of our difficulties last night are IMO of our own making. When all we seem to have done over the past few years is five drives and a kick, the skills necessary to break down a good defence won't come easily. We find it difficult enough to pass the ball along the line without somebody making a mistake, be it dropping the ball, passing to high, low, behind or in front of the receiver; so some of the more difficult skills will be beyond us until we start playing that way more often.
Despite the criticism, I am heartened by the effort for the whole game, rather than part of the game and that we are now trying to play more expansively (seen over the last few games too). When that part of the game becomes more natural there will be less chance of it breaking down under severe pressure like it did last night (from both Saints and the weather).
Here's hoping that progress will continue as I'm sure it will.

He does.
But he can't do it on his own.
He needs a halfback partner.
HTH.

Now, don't you think it's about time you stopped trying to present yourself as some kind of intellectual superior. It's embarrassing.

| i think i understand both parts of this argument i thought we did defend well but i thought our attack was poor i dont think it was because we lacked cutting edge we just played silly rugby at times and i think we lacked the experiance to play a game out we turned the ball over in good field position for saints and that led to them attacking our line rather than bringing the ball out of thier own half.
i am def proud of the defensive effort and enjoyed the atmosphere of a good old fasioned derby game just think if we had some experiance we could of shut the game down and got a win but its all experiance for our youngsters and will do them the world of good

He's not the only one who thinks this:
Quote ="J. Willard Gibbs, on page 5"The fact he's so keen to accuse others of low levels of intellect makes me think he's not very bright, but desperately wants to be.'"
... which was then amply demonstrated by you posting that not only have you had your IQ "officially measured" (s), but mentioning membership of Mensa in an aspirational context (chuckle).
Both set off warning bells in my mind; in particular, anyone who would have their IQ "officially" measured and try to boast about the results is rather desperate.

Yeah it could be worse .
Perhaps i should also go back and edit my posts to cover my tracks .
Perhaps i should also ignore the points in the opening post.
Perhaps i should also start calling people out.
Perhaps i should also start throwing personal insults at other posters .
perhaps i should also pretend to be a keyboard warrior.
No i don't think i will bother with any of the above if it means being like you , I'll stick with going and supporting my team and making mistakes in my posts thanks, feel free to correct any spelling or grammar you like .

No use trying to wriggle out of it like that. Having "that cutting edge" and "no cutting edge" are direct opposites. If you think Sam has a cutting edge and Sam plays, then the team clearly does have a cutting edge. You didn't say Sam's cutting edge depended on a halfback partner, or anything else, did you? Anyway, he clearly does have a halfback partner, usually Tommy.
I have no idea what HTH means, BTW.

Many Saints fans are saying pretty much the same about the Saints performance. I reckon it's because we both had good defences, so limiting the other team's attacking options. It's easy to have attacking flair when the other team isn't in your face but neither side gave up defensively last night and I think that ensured neither side could really pull out the attacking flair.

its just hard to show attacking flair in those sorts of conditions.
I would say we didnt put the high bomb to the corner enough, but i don't think we have anyone who could put those kicks in effectively except richards. But he would surely be the target.
