Tbf Wigan weren’t brilliant last night.
Saints only scored 2 tries against an ordinary Wigan defence.
Without barba there attack seemed a bit lost.

Take barba out and saints are not as potent.
Saying that Roby was immense last night, tackled his heart out.
He’s another one, if saints lost him for a few games they would be ordinary.

Would love a cas v saints GF. still a lot of if’s and buts to go yet.

thought wigan looked lost last night mainly due to lockers being missing (he was still trying to ref the game from the stands though) lol. I couldn't understand their tactics of continually throwing the ball from one wing to the other with each player in turn catching the ball standing still and thus losing ground. their forwards tried hard but their line speed was too slow. bateman and ratboy went well and didn't deserve to be on the losing side.
when saints have barba missing they include fages who drags their game down. any body else think richardsons success is starting to go to his head and his form is dropping off. he made a couple of bad decisions last night.

Have thought for the last few weeks that Richardson's form is dropping, not sure it can be put down to self admiration though!! I would have thought more to do with it's his first full season and he's played all the way through and could maybe do with a break.

totally agree with your assessment of Fages - have never rated him, he's very slow in thought and deed.

As for Wigan - think they desperately need a proper hooker, and a proper halfback. Sam Powell must have some compromising photos of Wane to keep getting picked and Josh Woods is hopeless.

Long may it continue!!!
