Wigan Warriors • Wigan v Sts discussion - THIS THREAD ONLY PLEASE

I think it's a fair assumption that Wigan will be a lot, lot better next time out. Wigan made 14 errors in the first 50 minutes (penalties, errors and six agains; see the 'Saints (a) thread for reference), that's nearly one every two minutes with ball in play!
Furthermore, I think it's pretty unlikely we'll be playing half an hour with 12 men, next time out. If we do, we'll only have ourselves to blame.
And finally, sport tends to even itself out. Saints got the rub of the green with the Lees head contact being missed. Like him or loathe him, Rob Hicks has gone on record that that is the type of tackle that they're trying to get rid of. The next tackle Dupree gets sin binned. The video ref also recommends yellow for Byrne, but Kendall chose red. All the small moments went Saints way.
Despite all of the above, after 73 mins, Wigan were winning the game.
I can see why after the game Matt Peet was optimistic and confident for us going forward, he knows a lot more about RL than anyone on this board.
Yeah and if my Aunty had balls etc…
I’d love to know where you get your stats from as the official ones show us completing 2 less sets and making 5 more errors.
Incidentally when you did have 13 on the field you didn’t make a single break. Not one.
Also everyone has conveniently ignored the fact that we lost Percival for the same amount of time that Byrne was off which meant a prop playing centre regardless of how good he is.
We were also down an interchange with Batchelor going off too. But hey let’s just assume that Wigan wipe the floor with us next time just by making less errors.
