Roy was descent tonight. He went in on a fully charging Moso with Waterhouse I think and stopped him. Ideal opportunity to chicken out but didn't and credit to him.

he took control when benny and Monas were off too

I couldn't believe that they showed that on the big screen with 15 mins to go

Me neither, I mean they could have taken it up to Castleford at half time and beat the traffic. Especially with all those saints fans leaving at the same time.

Best thing this season was them taking the trophy away

If we beat Wigan next week we'll likely have Saints again at their place for the qualifying playoff. I'm okay with that!

The visual of that shield being hauled down the corridor made up for the decade of kickings and near misses! Utterly utterly priceless!

I'm not one for normally putting a downer on a great win but there are things to work on. Being brutal here but the kicking game was very ordinary at times tonight, especially in the first half and that needs to improve going forward.

That's what I was going to mention. Myler was the go to at the end of almost every set and every time he looked for space he ended up kicking right to a Saints player. What made me laugh was when he tried to kick the ball directly to Saints to re-take that drop out before half time and it ended up about 15 meters to the right...

GOBs try, just like t'other week, reminded me of Bert's trademark. He got MOM with less opportunity than Myler; which I think says a lot. I really hope that TS keeps and replaces Myler with Bridge when Bridge is fit.

Even at 22-12 up I was nervous. I thought, given our losses/use of subs so early on, that we'd be out of gas come the last quarter. Great performance all round.

And, just to echo what else has been said: them hauling away the LLS was priceless. The whole thing looked choreographed especially since it was followed by a shot of our lot jeering. I bet Saints were livid and calling out bias.

Be careful what you wish for vw, you don't think Saints who boasted the best current record of 7 consecutive wins would put in another performance littered with so many errors again do you?

Only been to a handful of away games this year, but tonight was the first time I've heard a chant about Big Roy

long may it continue!

I felt your pain as you typed those words.

To be fair to Yed, he tried to get Roy chants going both at London away and Salford away earlier in the season.
He was drunk at London mind.

All true

no bad performances last night in the Wire side...everyone played very well. Saints were shockingly bad...but take nothing away from us...we were excellent. Even big Roy put in a good shift.

Still not sure we have enough to get the the G.F. again...but we surely have a chance if we can improve a little each week from now on.

Roll on the Pies.

TS said before the game he had faith in Asotasi to make up for being dropped and you could see he was out to prove himself.

Someone should just say to Roy

Catch the ball and just drive it in hard, forget offloads or trying to get a quick ptb, just use your big frame and get us some yards.

To paraphrase Led Zep, hats off to (Roy) Asotasi

I felt rather sorry for him when even Eddie admitted he hadn't exactly set SuperLeague alight, but you could see he was making an effort and that a lot was expected of him with the injuries. I've been as down on him as anyone, and I'm sure he's aware of the criticisms, but respect to him for putting a good honest shift in with his head up.

"Yeah gave my baby Roy a 200, 0000 dollar bill
Well, if that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shotgun will"

"I'm gonna shoot her now"

Who would even try to pick the GF finalist now? Too many Jekyll & Hyde side at the sharp end of the season. It could come down to side with the least number of invalids!

A bizarre season but right now I strongly suspect Leeds will win

Roy made 24 tackles and 11 carries for an average gain of 8.18m. Best effort this season.

Highest metre gains from Hill (152) Russell (150) and Harrison (14icon_cool.gif.

Imo it was probably last chance saloon for him last night otherwise one way flight home end of season but we need see this from him every match and not just when he's had a rocket up his backside.He must have been happy as he commented on Twitter after the match which is very rare from him and he even applauded the supporters so maybe he's in a better place mentally than he has been.Keep it up and you might get doubters like me back on side.

That's all we want as fans...effort.

You give your all and lose and you'll be left alone.

In the 2nd row this season 4 players have mainly held down these slots , Currie, Laithwaite, Waterhouse and Westwood. Tackles made to date is:
Currie 459
Laithwaite 454
Waterhouse 446
Westwood 421

Looks like Tony giving youth a chance is paying off i think Currie and Laithwaite ( both under 23) will be in our back 3 for many years to come.
