The second half was the worry today. From the kick off Wigan went 60m in their first set when I was expecting us to come out really intense and stick it to them. It set the tone and we never got in to it after that.
Factors that may have proved the difference in the long run.
A) Our last three games have been Leeds (h) Giants and Cas away, all games that went down to the last minute to win.
Wigan have played Dragons and London at home and Dewsbury away. All games they won without breaking sweat.
Can't help feeling our tank was empty and it showed in second half.
B) I am also concerned that we have one or two individuals who don't appear to be able to deliver a consistent performance week to week. LMS and Turner are prime examples of this - you never know what you're going to get from them whereas Tommy Mak, Jones, Wello, Robes, Amor Soliola and a few others produce week in week out. That has got to be down to attitude and if LMS and Turner can't step up then they are not good enough for Saints. They were both poor in first half at Cas and others pulled them out of the mire.
I do feel the defeat may not do us any harm in the long run - it may serve to bring a few people back down to earth and get them to refocus for the coming week. COYS
