I think the depth is very good and you could be right, it may not matter come the play-offs when we hopefully get a few players back. I really don't think Wigan did too badly last night and neither did Saints!



And on balance its not just some Wigan fans that are highlighting that Wigan missed some key players.

Farrell was stupid enough to get himself banned for the match, so draws absolutely no sympathy for me, he was still a member of the squad, he wasn't weakening it by being injured, just by being stupid. Claiming thornley is no different to us claiming Jones if the result had gone the other way, yes as the wiganers have told us a thousand times, he was in good form when he got injured - but I don't think even wane knew his best centre combo at that point (or still does) - there's no guarantees he'd of walked into the team had he been fine all this time - like the 8 players mentioned above probably would. Claiming j tomkins is just plain silly.



I'm not denying Wigan had injuries, so did saints, they just ain't the reason you lost as some of your fans are trying to clamour.



Edit, oh and my feelings on the matter are fairly well known, 1. Wellens 6. Lomax 7. Walsh 9. Roby 14. Hohaia - depending how the game goes, Roby can be spelled, lomax dropped back to 1 and wellens to the pack, lomax rested, or Walsh covered

If lomax all three of lance, lomax and wello would have played.



I personally couldn't care less who you had playing or didn't, we took the two points and put us 4 clear of the 2013 conquering Wigan team. Injuries are part and parcel of rugby. I'm sure you'll play us when we are plagued by injury.



It's about beating what's in front of you, we can't control who plays or doesn't for the other team.

Loved watching Mose last night. I always thought he was better than what he was showing and thought he'd shown glimpses of what he could do, but last night he put it all together and riled up the crowd. Great performance, from everyone!

Absolutely Pete, couldn't agree more. I think it's the people trying to say Wigan didn't have players missing that's getting a bit ridiculous though. I can't actually believe someone dismissed Farrell because he was banned rather than injured so doesn't count as missing from the team!

Someone saying Clubb or Pettybourne are also borderline because they're maybe not as good as Amor is almost as bad too. WTF has that got to do with anything?



Whichever way you look at it Wigan had at least 6 missing from the first choice 17 and several more first call reserves. As you say though, tough titties..that's Rugby League (alright I may have paraphrased a little there! haha). Saints took the opportunity to show some steel and I think that's what the fans were looking for. I'll add my congratulations on a good performance and fine win too. As I've said elsewhere; it'll be interesting to see what happens the next time the teams meet. Should be a cracker!

Those who have called, now or in the past, for Mose to be dropped in order to be given a kick up the , have you considered the following.

Being an import, Mose cannot play for a dual reg team. He also cannot play for the Under 19s.

Bearing in mind the trouble we've been having getting him [imatch fit[/i, will the coaches be reserved about every dropping him, because of the impact it could have an his match fitness?

Yes he can, the rules have been changed. Gelling played for Workington earlier in the season.

Cheers.
