Forever In Our Shadow.
"Forever in our Shadow?"
75-0...more like forever in Knowsley Roads shadow ::fishing for a bite
Ah, the stock reply from a Stains supporter. True result, but all it got you was the right to be beaten by Hull in the next round of the cup. No points (unlike in the 65-12 win for Wigan at KR in 1997). No trophy (unlike the 27-0 win for Wigan in the Challenge Cup Final).
Knowsley Rd was a happy hunting ground for Wigan. I was fortunate enough to be there for the very last Saints/Wigan game on 2 April 2010. Guess who won?
In fact, both your homes since KR have been good to Wigan. We won the game at Widnes in 2011, and also christened your new home with a 28-10 in the first derby played there.
As I said, FIOS....
Not been near the goat for a couple of days – so just read the post..
Going into match – quietly confident, the team have been winning and I was expecting bounce back after the loss to Widnes
First 20 mins, all Saints – I was a bit surprised the defense held and you had no points to show for it
Second 20 mins – all Wigan
Was concerned the team would fall asleep in second half, as they have done before – but thought it was a good, solid performance and the better team on the day won..
For Wigan, Manfredi was awesome, Chanley put in a good defensive performance – which is usually his weakness, Sarge is a better FB than center, Tautai was a wrecking ball – best game I have seen form him so far.
Wigan controlled the pace of the game far better and sucked the life out of Saints (and the crowd, who were quiet most of the game)
Saints – TBH, I rated Cunningham as a player, but he has no impact on the team when they play. The lack discipline is costing Saints big time – Greenwood is a penalty machine, LMS would be a good player if he stopped diving and doing dumb stuff, Amor surprised me – I rate him highly but the play acting was unnecessary – we all saw the wink!. Makinson seems to have lost all his confidence, Jon Wilkin is a liability – if he put as much effort into playing as he does into whineing at the ref , he would be great!
All the above are coaching failures in my book – the cohesion and self belief is gone and the team are being whiners and doing dumb stuff.
On the flip side – Roby was, (as ever) fantastic , Burns did well, Owens looked good. Fages needs some mentoring – but any team would take him..
Oh, and Paul Wellens, was showing more passion than the playing squad - he was a quality player in his day and a fantastic servant to the St Helens club
Good luck against Widness – they will be looking for a bounce back!..
And on the comedy side – Leeds ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha – not so good when the league aren’t “assisting” the dream finish for Peacock and Sinfield are they!
