It's always a pleasure when our rivals lose, but I don't think we should get carried away. They did have injuries, plus last-minute disruption with Walmsley pulling out. On top of that it's still early season, and teams haven't settled yet, especially those with new coaches in harness.

I'll say again that I don't think they're as strong below decks as others have assumed, but bragging rights will only return when we ourselves turn them over.

In addition, it hurts to see Wigan fans starting separate threads just to celebrate Saints' failures. That kind of close, unwavering attention (hoping against hope that things will go wrong for them) is the sort of thing their fans used to give us during our glory days, and in a way is flattering to them.

Spot on

They didn't just lose though - they were nilled.

Well let’s hope that doesn’t happen to Wigan, we have far less excuses.

Put Roby back in that Saints side and that’s a different result.

Yes I can just see a Roby turning over with a 20+ point swing!!

Not quite sure what that means but if you are suggesting that Roby doesn’t make Saints a significantly better side then you are mistaken.

Ok Austin had a good game but Ratchford was outstanding.

It was you who posted Roby would make a different result...I didn't mistake that.
If I'm mistaken that Roby is 20 points better for the team against top opposition...I can live with it, but I won't believe it.

No you didn’t and I stand by it.

Roby is still their most influential player in my view and Saints are significantly weaker without him.

One player can make a huge difference to a result.

You have a right to an opinion and I respect that.

Hilarious thread. If I were a Wigan fan I wouldn’t bother worrying about Saints given the sorry state of your team. Saints are far superior.
