They are on this website: think the metres were approx 1600 saints. 1200+ wigoon. The Wigoons couldn't pressure with attacking kicks Wigoons 6 compared to Saints 23.

I’m not too surprised about the halves, if you take off the 30m Lomax kick return from Hardaker’s penalty him and Fages are about equal. They had to run the ball quite a lot as Wigan’s 2nd rows and centres shot up outside our halves to try and stop us getting the ball to Makinson and Grace. Very effective but it’s why we needed to go wide earlier in the set and from deeper. We’ve seen success going wide this season when we go through all 3 pivots plus Knowles sometimes, allows us to create 4 on 3’s or 3 on 2’s on the outside and then the missed pass (especially on Makinson’s side) has been very effective. I don’t know whether it was game plan, or just good defence but we didn’t look set up to go wide at any point really.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
We did set up for the same move as Naqaima’s first try against Catalans but whereas Langi rushed forward and failed to close it down, the Wigan defence held their line and shuffled across to prevent any overlap. Just one example of their excellent defence on the night.
