It wouldn't be the same without the Saints fans around me saying, they'll not comeback from 8-0 down, then they'll not comeback from 14-0 down, then Whamo, Saints comeback and win. 
Some people never learn.

We didn't look like winning at half time to be fair. First half, we were poor, then start of the second half wasn't the best either. Then all of a sudden, we got on a role and they started to make a few mistakes, no looking back then. Never write the Saints off.

We didn't, when we did score though I all of a sudden became a lot more confident that we could do it.
Never write the Saints off. Still a lot needs working on but a win is a win |

To be fair in the first half I think we were a bit rusty and took the wrong option or miss timed passes. You could however see that there were gaps in wires defence. Saints defence was however as solid as ever, bar a slight loss of concentration for Highams try. Hence at 8 nil i wasnt overly concerned. The only time i got worried was when it went to 14 nil after Wire had literally battered us in the forwards and ensured we couldnt make more than 20 yards in a set of 6. I thought at that point we looked shot. However as soon as Graham and Cunningham came on, then wires fortunes visibly wilted. Looking back, i think wires big defensive effort that lead to their second try was like the last desperate haymaker from a boxer out on his feet, because from then on, Wire visibly tired, where as Saints went up a gear, and ran riot. |

I thought in the first half, there pack completely dominated ours, and that was the main reason for us struggling. They made easy yards constantly to get them up field, and we weren't. As soon as we got a bit of a role on, and got our go forward going then there was no looking back. I didn't think our defensive line was moving up quick enough, which gave the Wire pack the chance to make easy metres, but there was a definite improvement after 50 minutes. Another thing, first half Warrington wasn't making many mistakes, and we were. Then all of a sudden, they make one or two mistakes and Saints took there chance and got back in to the game. We won, but after that first half, definatly things that need some work on. |

Good to see Wires coach, Jimmy Lowed exploiting Saints make shift left side pairing of Gilmour and Armstrong
Heres an idea, lets focus our attacks down Saints strong right hand side
