6-0 down and we just cranked it up..... not even losing key players made a difference.

Some fantastic displays out there tonight.

GOB was fantastic, Harrison was excellent (that early hit on walmsley did him properly, he never recovered and went off). Both Monaghans, laithwaite... the list goes on.

Whats really nice is that we are finishing the season with saints and wigan... a perfect opportunity to turn the intensity up and go into the play offs battle hardened.

It was great to see us turn up and play for each other tonight... a real decent display full of intensity and desire.

Mind you, we wont play a team as poor as saints every week.... They are awful.... we really should have put 50 on them

m.monas was superb before he left the field..i know we have clark for next season but monas will be sorely missed..he certainly showed roby how to play the game tonight

M.Monaghan is a rolls royce of a player. The way he draws people in and times his passes is amazing, he has no equal in super league at it.

not according to st eddie and his mate stevo,they think roby is the best

Clarke is the best... good job we signed him

I'd love for Monas to have enough in him to go around again, him and Clark would be incredible. Higham for me is off the pace at the moment, but in his defence, it's a tough act to follow when he gets on to the field.

Monas just looks hungry to me, like a man possessed. Fingers crossed he can retire with a winners ring. Long way to go yet though

I think it was a very good performance. The intensity was high, we completed our sets, and we made few errors. But.. the kicking on the last tackle was pretty awful from Myler and GOB, and Saints were absolutely shocking - the last try gifted to Atkins was dreadful. So good reasons to be optimistic, but lets not get too carried away just yet.

I hope we get Ben Evans back for next week, it looks as though as per usual, we are picking up lots of injuries at the end of season again.

Agree that the kicking was very poor... but saints were so inept at pretty much every aspect of rugby, it didnt matter.

a good team will punish us though im sure.

I wonder how much damage that has done to their morale ? Their forwards looked totally leaden at times, and their heads went down after about 10 minutes into the second half.

I was gettin fed up watching Jordan Turner doing the continued drop off pass.


Very impressed with gob tonight, we need to give him an extended run, was pleased with Myler tonight as well, finally seemed to have some confidence and a smile on his face tonight, second half he seemed to be organizing a lot more.

Let's hope it's not just a one off

For Saints everything relies on their pack at the mo and our forwards more than did the business. A good hit on walmseley took him off early. Mase Mose knocked on twice through great hits and was no threat.

Well, I have to say that was the most brutal, physically dominant and punishing defensive display I've seen from ANY team for quite some time. Saints seventeen didn't attempt to hide their intentions, their gameplan was to be aggressive and bully their way to the LLS, and I have to say I thought they would be successful. Cue a wonderfully brave and unyiedling Wires display. Saints weren't beaten, they weren't outfought, they were riotously plundered.

I'd also like to put on record that the three pantomime baddies Myler, Waterhouse & Asotasi were all excellent.

So was everyone in fact, there wasn't a flaw in the collective flood defense. Special mention to Gareth - that hand-off for his try would have brought a lump to Mr Briers throat, and brought a lump elsewhere for yours truly.

Poetry. Utter poetry.

It was a very professional performance from Warrington tonight, particularly as you lost Grix and Westwood pretty early. It was a strange game though as you score a lot of points without really doing much to get them. Saints made unforced errors and you scored plenty of ridiculously soft tries you just won't score against the better teams. All you had to do tonight was drift wide, look to pass, dummy and stroll over.

I feel so sorry and bad for James Roby, He's a shell of his former shadow.

Honestly

That Harrsion hit early doors changed the game in my opinion.... it showed we couldn't be bullied up the middle and saints crumbled after it.

There is no better forward in our squad to meet a charging forward than Harrison.. the guy has had his injury problems, but he is a brick wall and he will hurt you given the chance.

Fielden is still sat under a tree reading nursery rhymes by all account.

Goodness me, a spy in the camp - you rumbled our game plan. "Look to pass, dummy and stroll over" I think were TS' exact words Monday morning in preparation. Having got the gameplan out of the way we spent the rest of the week at Mrs Jenkins lovely B&B in Conwy. Jobs a good un.

I think the gameplan for Wigan next week is "Look to kick, dummy and jog over".

Really agree Morleys Deckchair. That Harrison challenge set the stall. In all the games I've seen saints play, Walmsley has been unstoppable and tonight was the first time he's been knocked out the game like that and it must have had a massive impact on his team mates ie. 'we can wollop you just as hard, if not harder.

I fully agree with gob as man of the match. He controlled field position and starved saints of possession when the game was in the balance. I have long been a fan of Atkins and I actually think that could have been his best ever display in a wire shirt. Not a bad player in our ranks tonight and 2 errors (wow) I knew we would look good with a low error count.

Roy I am not sorry for doubting you but if you could please play like that for the rest of your time with wire then I may one day clap you.

Thanks from all us Cas fans tonight who were cheering for you. GOB really came of age tonight and I'm so pleased for him. The late hits and concussions he took early in his career would have finished players of lesser mental strength. Best wishes for the unlucky Simon Grix and good luck n the play offs.

100% agree, haven't seen that spark in him for a long time. Not moving the NRL has seen him stagnate as I think Sam Tomkins would have if he hadn't moved.

I can't remember the last time I saw us make so few handling errors, it really showed how cutting those out immediately makes everyone look better.

I've heard we had a 90% completion rate.

We put the pressure on and then turned the screw, it works and we need to keep doing it!

Best we've played in a long while.

I do wonder though ,are we watching a team of con men who strive to look so bad for most games ,lurching from pillar to post ,then produce a seamless & clinical performance to despatch the leagues pace setters ?

Well done to the team ,not one bad performance today.

Forget who said it in commentary last week v Hudds, something along the lines of 'if warrington can learn to cut out all the errors they make then they will become a very scary team'

Well that was tonight, pretty much everything stuck.
The Atkins try I was positive was going to be chalked off, I didn't think anyone could throw such an awful pass without it being touched by a defender.

First half was unbelievable. No errors at all. Forwards were immense, even with Grix and Benny off. That Saints pack on paper is the heaviest and most gruesome in sl. But, having M Monas tackling round the marker position; takes a lot of the hit and allows the forwards to move in and complete. Maso was nothing tonight, as was Amor and their crew. Laithwaite for me is superb in defence.
