Wigan the only side who’ve troubled the Aussies for year and years. Absolutely hammered Cronulla who were only missing 3 from they grand final side.

If Cordner and Cronk played today it would when been a blow out.

Saints just aren’t good in big games

Wigan aren't good full stop. Your pack is an embarassment.

Good game of footy!

Roosters defence is legandry. Trent's post game analysis showed how much of a great coach he is. The detail he went into was superb and showed how technical the game is at elite level.

I watched and just thought he is at a completely different level.

you really are a rubbish troll. Cronk has retired for a start....

Heard a story on the car radio this morning about how serious the Roosters took this game. Apparently they were on a sleep regime and eating regime for a few weeks to help with jetlag and also paid a huge amount to fly everyone business class and organise special food and some form of machine for massage in flight.

Firstly, this Roosters side is miles better than that Cronulla side. Secondly, I’m no Saints fan but no other SL team gets within 8 points last night. Only a few rounds in to the new season but I haven’t seen anything that suggests this season is going to be dissimilar to last season in that Saints will top the table comfortably and go back to back. Hope I’m wrong and someone can at least make it interesting.
