I love coming on here when it gets to a hilarious perspective, your team the first half will not get much better than that, Saints just soaked up the pressure and was only 8 points down. Our attack was pretty poor and only around 50%, once we get to full speed the Wire will get a good hiding which means gobby Hill will blow a gasket.

it was a poor game and a terrible advertisement for the standard of the top 4.
You're deluded.. as is RD, to think neither team can improve on that.

not one single wire fan believes we can win the Grand Final (or even get to it). unlike Saint Helens fans who are talking trebles...( which i predicted for them at the start of the season BTW).

So wind your neck in take your victory with some grace (not possible I know) and worry about how many you are going to get tonked by in the World club final next year....

Still there was another world class showing from MoS elect B Barba to drool over.

We won't mention Ratchford's attempt on Percival.

And that "grass cutter" drop goal attempt.

I should imagine that Catalans will have few more extra supporters next week, possibly dressed in primrose and blue with suspect French accents.

And how is that relevant to my point?

That's a laugh about child shouldn't have give us the penalty...6 of your points came from child giving you three shots at goal...maybe he shouldn't have gave them either then you would have just scored only six points..

Child was a joke last night. Everything that could have gone to Warrington did.

Getting fed up with one time hero Chris Hill. Cut out the niggles, needless penalties, backchat and drama. Get back to what you do best.

Brilliant, the way that Sky were banging on about Cooper last night was hilarious, especially when Thompson was quite clearly a fair bit better.

That was arguably our worst performance of the season and yet we still won. Any half decent attacking side would have been out of sight in that first half. Child made some bizarre decisions for the whole of that first 40 yet you couldn’t take advantage. Brown and Roberts are the main reason why you won’t win anything this season, the latter is embarrassing and I’m gutted he’s going home. 300k a year for that.

We soaked up the pressure first half and as soon as Barba scored you felt that was your chance gone. I’ve never seen worse execution of a drop goal (3 times) and ultimately you bottled it. You’re a solid side but that’s about it. Very good defensively but I’ve never seen a side look so clueless in attack. I’m sure that you can improve on that performance but so can we and ultimately unless something changes you aren’t good enough to win a grand final.

At last AS108, now our cup truly overflows.

To add to that, Steve Price didn't appear to have much confidence in the teams ability to score trys, 3 penalties in the 20 to 30 metre zone and he instructed for a goal kick on every one. Holbrook would have instructed his players to play the ball to increase pressure on the defensive line.

Of course,we can reach the Grand Final , we’re almost nailed on for a top4 finish and in a final anything can happen ,Roberts might even start playing like a marquee signing

You can smell the anxiety in the Saints fans posts, almost as if they are trying to persuade themselves that yesterday was a bad day at the office and nothing to do with how Wire played.

To add to that further, the only enigma in this whole scenario is how st helens didn't score 50 and us scoring at all. I totally agree with as108 in that you could tell saints were holding back for the full 80. If saints wanted to put on 50, they could have- it's just they chose not too- they are such a remarkable side and they felt sympathy for us.

Hear hear. It's since he shaved his head. He was muich better with the Bobby Charlton combover.

ahhh the arrogant stains are back....sniff of success and out they trot...arrogance unbound. Supreme Sydney 2000 will crawl out from under a cow pat soon enough no doubt.

I still say Wire have another 2 gears. Roberts with so much improvement scope to me is scary.
I'm calling it now....that was Saints final last night.
Catalans vs Wire in CC and Wigan vs Wire GF.
Saints to get the bed pan.

Phew, its ok after all, Saints weren't terrible, it was the ref's fault (ala Redvee). They have never seen such a terrible refereeing display. Presumably it is worse than the semi final they were robbed of (because they know how to win BIG games). It is such a pleasure to have some light relief when stuck in a muggy office all day. Being a bad loser is bad enough, being a bad winner...!

No ones being arrogant, you just don’t like the opinion some of us have on the game. The general consensus from saints fans is that Warrington didn’t finish us off when they had the chance and paid the price for it. We’ve won 21 out of 23 games, of course we’re going to be excited.

100%, the penalty to take it to 0-8 was fair enough but to take 2 when 6-8 up is just negative and essentially an acknowledgement of their own poor attack and Saints excellent defence. At 6-8 a converted try might have been enough.

What on earth are you on or are you waiting for a bite?

Thought I was on the saints forum for a mo there's that many on here spouting rubbish...can't wait for when saints do lose( be a while I think)you won't here a peep out of em.except for the fact the ref was against us.,....
