Hard luck wire. No shame in that defeat. Good game of RL. Great effort. Low on troops and a ref that gave it all to Saints.

Wellen’s smiling like he won the Grand Final.

Saints were garbage and there for the taking and we still lose. That’s 6 defeats from the last 7 now. Will be 8 from 9 next week. Not sure what else Powell would have to do to get the sack?

Got beat. But to be honest it was a gutsy performance & we may not be quite as bad as we thought we were. Last try looked forward as well. Miles better.

Jack Smith was scared of giving anything against Saints in the last ten minutes, it was shocking. Hurrell just seemed to be playing his own rules.

Powell shouldn't be sitting in the box looking shell shocked, we played like a team we can be proud of tonight with a few key guys out. He should be out there praising his players and pointing out the dodgy decisions that went against us.

Wow I agree a lot with you but that’s a bit harsh on tonight’s effort.

Ben Currie, best player on the field by a distance. The more we went to him the more we looked like scoring.

Gil Dudson - wow. What a prat.

Tough one to take, got nothing from the ref but the effort was there

As we will have Harrison and Kasiano back next week, Dudson will hopefully be banned.

Play like that with Williams and Harrison back next week and we’ll beat Wigan. Saints ain’t that great. Get in that top 6 and miracles can happen

Yes Currie was outstanding tonight, although so were Ashton and - believe it or not - Dufty.

Spot on about the ref but I didn’t want to bring him into it, just impressed with the effort shown tonight. We have not seen that for a good while now, and yeh ref missed some calls and we would deffo been the winners.

I’m not sure we should ever be praising effort, that should be an absolute given every game.

We have to many players who are simply not good enough. We played okay, granted I’d have expected a reaction after last week. Saints were garbage but still won.

Wigan, a confident Wakey and Catalans next up. Yikes.

Do you ever give any praise? That was a very good performance from a depleted team where the difference was a try from a forward pass

A great effort, but we lost.
Forward pass was the difference, but 5h1t happens. Wel'l never have a better chance to break a losing run, but we messed up.
Matautia and Minikin are not first team material.
Dudson should not put a Warrington shirt on, AGAIN. A complete whopper, who costs us EVERY time.

Lose against Wigan, and we're spiraling into disaster

Yes when it’s warranted.

It’s all well and good putting a bit of effort in against Saints at home.

If you’re happy losing then I guess we have different expectations.

Ignoring 2 key wrong decisions by the ref -

Great effort by the lads tonight (boy will we miss Clark).

Many good performances.
Back 3 excellent.
Drinkys kicking much better.
Holroyd and Whitehead looked good and not out of their depth.

Ben Curries best game for a long long time. Great passing, kicking, running and defending.
Definately my mom.

Yes we lost but playing like that will win us games.
This week it's glass half full.
Now we need to follow it up with similar effort against a Wigan side hurting from a Wakey defeat.

You come across as a bit of a tool when you can't see the difference between that performance tonight and what we have been serving up in the last two months.

As I said it’s all well and good putting a bit of a performance in against Saints at home when you’ve just been embarrassed at home the week before. In the last 18 months this team has shown when we come up against your Wakefield’s, Castlefords, Leigh’s etc they don’t want to know.

I’ll revisit your comment in three weeks time when we’ve played Wigan, Wakefield and Catalans.

We've all been moaning about our performances and rightly so. This is the St Helen's match thread where we played quite well.

LTS has a point in that the next 3 games are massive in respect how we approach them. We need a minimum of 4 points IMO and no plucky losses.

But WE LOST.

Saints were garbage, the worst I’ve seen them play against us for years and they still beat us. And you’re saying we played well, what does that say about us? Then you’ve got Daryl Powell saying we’ll win the GF if we play like that. Good grief.

That was much better from the boys.

Saints only won due to crap officiating again.

Ref missed two forward passes that led to tries for saints and calling that drop ball from Hurrell with 10 minutes to go as a rip was complete garbage… at best the ref guessed.

Unbelievable!
FFS
Are you for real?

Words fail me.

It's probably best you don't watch too many future games as if you really believe that, you're going to have more than a few disappointments going forward.

You seem like quite an angry person.

I was fine until I watched Daryl’s interview to be honest.
