ours certainly did tonight..... reminded me of when we beat the pies at wigan athletics ground last season....

The opposition had loads of ball and didn't score.... 5/6 sets without reply.... then we go up the other end and score with apparent ease.

Every single player defended like their life depended on it in that first half tonight.

We wanted it more..... everyone left everything on the pitch.. and that's all you can ask.

Agreed! Blythe especially was immense IMO in defense tonight, I think he missed one at the end for Flannery to score but up until that point he was putting in some big hits and just throwing St Helens players to the floor.

That period in the first half when they were on our line for nearly 5 minutes was the game breaker for me. Some great last ditch tackling.

Want to see that kind of commitment every week it was awsome.

Performance over results. BAH we are the mighty wire we have both sewn up!!!!

Blythe's defence was immense tonight. He really stood up to the plate.

who cares ooooohhhhhhhh warry warrrrryyyyyyyyyyy

I feel the reason we shipped in at the end is the guys were out on their feet. Brilliant effort, nothing left on the field.

That won the gme for me.

exactly.... game was won.... 2 commentators on sky 'these trys take the gloss of the victory'

shutup you know nothing c***s.... no they dont.

first half goal line defence was sensational

I have to admit i am slighty peeved that they got them tries. I wanted a clean sheet to really rub it in!

18 points against inferior opposition implies otherwise.

I take it you are all over the shock of the Huddersfield game (Which was pretty similar to tonights game IMO) now? Think you can graduate to a Grand Final this year?

Whilst we were poor against Hudds i think if we had a full staff of player for 80 we would have sneaked it.

we started the 2nd half with 1 sub if i remember rightly, you cant win in that position in modern rugby league

Our goal line defense in the first half won us the game. To hold out for 5-6 sets was immense. Not many teams can do that against Saints.

My thoughts too. Mentally and physically.

none can

Hull KR may have done us a favour last Sunday. We conceded three 'soft' tries on their rare raids on our line. TS must have had the boys watching the DVD all week because the improvement in goal line defence was 100%.

I'd go as far as to say 1000%

they were missing cunningham bad last night, during that exact spell

I thought exactly the same, when someone i think it may of been Roby went from dummy half i thought to myself Cunningham would of blasted his way over there.

Do you remember our conversation about Saints coping with the loss of Long, but losing Cunningham would really hurt them?

I think we'd have help him up.

If we had a forklift at fullback we may have done
