Guts in spades. Not a bad player among them.

Can't ask for much more in terms of the necessities required to be a champion.

No disgrace in losing with no halves. Especially when you consider they only just staggered over the finish line with a fluke bounce and a kick through.

IIt's painful losing to such a pitiful Wigan team (by derby standards) but you can only take so many iinjuries to top players before you are dragged down to also-ran level.

Get the lads fit and we'll end them.

Sorry but swift deserved the critisism on the Hull KR game last week as I said at the time..

This week he was far better.

Still seems to have lost a bit of speed, then again all our backs seem slower.

He caught the high balls well, but still ran the ball into touch with the one chance he had. He's no winger.

He was a bit ambitious there, but there was only a minute left so you can forgive him for going for broke. On the whole he was excellent, not just under the high ball but reading Wigan's edge attack too.

Walmsley and LMS were outstanding, and the defense was superb from both teams, although both teams were almost unbelievably average in attack. Saints had the excuse of missing their first choice halves (although Hohaia has played in the halves at the highest level), but Wigan were dreadful with the ball.

I don't think the is a better prop in super league at the moment than walmsley.

Thought Dawson had a decent game yesterday especially in defence, don,t remember him missing any tackles and was solid. He,s guaranteed a few more games in a settled position so hopefully that might improve his game.

Funny enough, Ive just checked his stats and he had very solid game.

Jones missed 6 tackles!

He looks a carbon copy of a 28 year old Jamie Peacock, rangy build, terrific work rate, and has a sneaky offload to his game. He's definitely one of the best props in the comp at the moment, only Cuthbertson comes close and he's played as much time at LF as he has at prop (not that there's much difference anymore).

Graham
Walmsley
Hill
G Burgess

They would be the 4 England props at the moment, and I'd have Cuthbertson at 13.

Dawson proved some of the doubters wrong yesterday, very unorthadox in defence, no technique at all but gets the job done. People need to realise that with a salary cap you can't have a squad full of first teamers. Dawson comes in and does a job whenever called upon, nothing brilliant, but nothing horribly bad.
