Ha ha saints bottle it again. Could have been 50 points if Austin was playing

Warrington well worth their win. Weathered the early storm and rode their luck and then just strangled Saints out the game.
Saints have not handled the pressure at all. Again.

Saints coach I know let’s rest players so they will be fit for Wembley sod the other teams let London have 4 points well that worked did it not LOL

Nope we'll have to suffer the Warrington sizzle instead

All that glass in St Helens but no bottle.

Holbrook should get most the blame for resting players week on week as they appear to have totally lost their sharpness. Makinson summed it up today with his knock on over the line. When it really matters he choked along with the full Saints club, in a final, yet again. Wigan will win the GF.

This is the first performance I’ve seen from Warrington where I’ve thought they could win a grand final if they played like that.

The London game was irrelevant. But resting players against Leeds was a bad mistake. Coote was not rested against London he was injured, but untested for weeks means you are rusty.

Yep Wigan are probably favourites.

The resting of players weeks ago is not the issue. But whole sale changes from the Leeds game is far more important

Wheres ass108 when you need some of his top quality game assessment?

Serves saints right for fielding weakend teams against London twice this season.

London was weeks ago.

Congrats Warrington, deserved winners

Moment of the match, Steph Ratchford putting boy wonder Thomson on his harris, brilliant.

Hahaha very true the arrogant scouser will be hiding for a while now i guess hahah

watching those men in warrington shirts scrambling up some stairs that sharply reminds me of something....

Time will tell what kind of psychological effect this will have on Saints.
We can all joke and call them bottlers etc but it's got to the point now where it will be playing on the minds of the players.

.......that it’s your bedtime.

Hopefully

Well played Warrington, they executed their game plan to near perfection, it was hardly champagne rugby but it worked a treat.

It was good to see that St's aren't the world beaters that some though they were. Some individual performances were well below standard, obviously Coote had a mare, but my favourite faux pas was Makinson's "trademark finish" going awry.

Oh, & pundit Peacock, don't start sports betting.

Time won't tell, time has told.

Millward was the perfect big game coach. Anderson could do it but ony against poorer opposition.

Since then we have relied on luck.

The effort from Makinson was fine, but the tackle was perfect. Hitting the arm.

Wires just played 80 mins of (mostly) error free one up rugby, which meant Saints had a bundle of hard work in each tackle - bare recall an offload either.

Video ref call for Lineham effort was bizarre (no clear view of contract with Goodwin, but just assumed from both angles, but grounding not checked anyway) but so was the non referral in the opening half (albeit at full speed it looked like he'd either missed it, or maybe made contact on/over dead all line - slowed replays suggest a try though...).

Oh well scoreboard says WIRES WON !

Warrington quite rightly deserved winners... Well done

I'm over the moon we won but to be honest i did not expect it. We ran hard, defended hard and played really well as a team.
Saints had an off day and had a few bad calls. I thought saints first denied try wasn't a try at first and thought he bounced it, but really surprised Hicks didn't go to the video ref to check.
Saints were off and we were on form and it couldn't be sweeter.
Saints will be back stronger and this will drive them, and i hope this win will spur us on to a first final win fingers crossed.
