    From Bazdev back in September......just thought I would trawl it up just to rub it in. Well done Saints that has made my year so far.....absolutely fantastic against the odds. Nice to shove the result up a certain ex Yorkshire player. Certainly not embarrassed. I wish it was the evening over here, would get right royally blitzed......

    Men Against Boys
    The importance of the league leaders shield was thoroughly proven tonight. If Saints win it, it is purely down to other sides having bigger fish to fry. They were absolutely embarrassed by an average Wire side. The playoffs will prove the best side in the league. Let's be honest it won't be Saints. Back down to earth with a bump haha

    Well done everyone. Not the best spectacle, but a well ground out result. Great Team Spirit.

    I suggest banning the Wiganers on here for the amount of time that Flower gets banned, hopefully a lifetime ban! Let them go stick to their rotten apple of a club forums!

    It was a messy win, but one of the most satisfying ever given the circumstances. The sheer amount of media coverage about Wigan winning has had this week is quite frankly astounding. Screw the haters.

    Also one point that everyone bar Carney has overlooked. Yes Wigan played with 12 men, they lost a prop, we lost our only halfback! Not exactly a fair trade.

    Watched the build up and their coach (he can't bring himself to say Saints' name so I won't use his) said he didn't care how they played as long as they won. Winning was all that mattered. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

    I havent seen the match yet as it wasnt shown live here and couldnt find a live streaming site....reading the reports abut the incident it seems like there was an instruction from certain people to make sure that Saints did not have any half backs what so ever. Probably tried to do it without getting sent off as they are of the opinion that they can get away with murder. If the incident had happened on the street, Flower would end up serving time for GBH, from what I have read at least.

    And our only halfback was a fullback, they ignored that completely, we played with another fullback that wouldn't have even been playing if our other fullbacks hadn't been injured and a second rower. There literally wasn't a halfback in the squad.

    It wasn't even a sly dig/cheap shot, it was an assault on a man unable to defend himself. Cowardly.

    If it had happened the other way around, I am sure the Wigan club and the offended layer would take civil action. Saints may well take the higher ground and leave to the games hierarchy to sort out, the next couple of weeks will be interesting.

    Of course he will, this is straight out of the Ape coaching manual. Doesn't matter if you get sent off, just make sure you take out the one remaining half back.

    CONVERTED TO THE FAITH.

    It was simply a case of Flower holding Lance back on the 40m line, Lance chased back and launched into him with a forearm smash and Flower lost the plot completely. Second shot when Lance was flat out was the real bad one. Unforgiveable. Maximum ban allowed and some.

    The ape said it all when interviewed before the kick off "we have to win anyway we can" nobody will convince me it was not part of his game plan to stop our only half back I think the r.l. should look into this and flower should be done for g.b.h.
    we are lucky to have the best chairman in the league his emotions tonight on winning proved it all , ive never liked brown still dont but what a great win fully deserved

    Gutted I wasn't able to get to the game tonight, my be nerves were well and truly gone watching it live, biased commentary from Pie TV, underdogs, the constant going on about how we had 13 v 12, we had our backs against the wall and deserved to win tonight!!!!! And don't get me started on the assault on Lance Hohaia, disgusting attack from Ben Flower and if I was a pie eater, I wouldn't want to see him wear the shirt again! Cheap shot on a player who was out cold! COYS!!!!!!

    CHAMPIONS 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!
