Who would have thought it, beating the champions with a team that started with nine ex academy players (five in the starting pack).

I was pretty impressed with Wigan last night. They looked very dangerous when you moved the ball wide with great hands, good runners giving the halves options.

Wigans defence was also very mean and well drilled.

It like that legendary Wigan Player Denis Betts said week. "I would sooner be in a grand final and contest it than not be in a grand final at all. It takes 2 great teams to make a final, whilst the rest are also rans.
St Helens the most consistent finalist in any competition since the advent of full time professionalism.

They looked pretty much the same as early last season.

I thought their ball skills and defence was very good for only the 2nd round of super league.

They moved the ball well with good options running everywhere.

Like I said, I think they looked impressive.

Without tempting fate.

We could be Top of the Superleague, with the best attack and best attendance of the weekend. Then we will get Wire Fans coming on telling us you don't win superleague in round 2.
