Great win for them tonight. Sounds like a real epic up there, if we beat Cas this Sunday we'll be 6 points clear of them with 11 to go, a fantastic position and if we beat them at ours at the end of the month, providing we don't slip up at Cas or Wakey, we could be 8 clear with 9 to go, and all but consolidated a top 2 finish, barring any major end of season collapse.

I agree, belting news for us. we need warrington to slip up now though

They got a good win at Salford.

Saints now face Hudds next fri without Eastmond, Roby, Graham and Scott Moore then Wigan after that, could be a killer lost tonight for them. We need to get our win on sunday!

Our destiny is in our own hands now. If we win every game from now until September, we will finish top. Granted it's a big if with Leeds, Saints, Wire still to play, but even if we lose all three of those, and saints win their corresponding matches, we'll still only be level on points with them, if we win the rest.

Slightly cheered me up after last weekend has this

Great night for Wigan. We are going to lose one or two between now and the end of the season so it's important that our nearest & dearest do too.

Those clubs have to play one another though Jeff and so will take points of each other. Leeds won't catch us. Can't see Saints catching us now especially if we win on Sunday. Wire are the one to watch. Mind you, I think we knew that before round 1. Home advantage against Leeds or Saints in't play offs = very confident (Unless Cummings dispatches agents Silverwood or BENTham).

Wigan/Wire final looms.

Well I've been saying in my match preview how awesome our home record has been in the summer months, only 11 losses in 87 June to September matches at Robin Park, so we'll lose on Sunday now. But if we can have our normally good strong end to the home campaign it'll be hard not to finish 1st. We shall see.

Wigan will finish top.

A top 4 finish and a decent bill of health going into the playoffs would suit me along with a CC final

Awesome result! That game should have been on sky!

One Danny Tickle, there's only one Danny Tickle!

Good old Tess, still remember the drop goal he got for us against Leeds in the playoffs.

I was in work whilst recieving text updates, I thought my mate was having me on.

Loving all the whinging on the scouse board, they're going mad over O'Meley's smash on Roby which caused him to go off injured. Aparently 'The Ogre' led with his elbow.

One word:

Fozzard.

We started well but Saints took control in the first half on the back of a few dubious decisions from Phil Bentham. When Saints scored at the start of the second half to make it 6-26 I feared a real hammering.

We showed real character to turn it around and the atmosphere was amazing, especially when Tickle's drop went over (after a couple of misses from Longy).

As for Wigan, I can see you going all the way, the two weekends off for the cup will be a blessing in disguise. See you at our's next month for what should be a corker.

Matty, two wrongs don't make a right, and I don't want to see any player injured. As I posted on there, the match review commissioner will file a report and the match review panel will look at the game. If they see anything, the player involved, Mark O'Mealy? will have the incident viewed by the disciplinary and it will be taken from there.


But what is quite amusing is that the majority of posters on there who are doing the complaining never went to the game, nor have they seen the incident.

Cracking result for Hull, especially considering the start they got off to.

I don't think that was the point he was trying to make

You are right that O'meley should be punished if he did use the elbow but what's laughable are the Saints fans who for years have defended Fozzard when he's done exactly the same kind of thing.

You can't have it both ways IMO.

Have they? Fozzard is well known among Saints fans for leading with the elbow, and IMO deserves whatever he gets for it. But Roby isn't Fozzard. Roby has to my knowledge never been guilty of any dirty play either by the ref or just by the fans (of either team). He is a clean player who 99.9% of the time has a superb tackling technique which puts neither himself nor his opposition at any risk. Any fan happy that Roby is possibly seriously injured because of what Fozzard has done in the past is an idiot and not worthy of breathing space.

I didn't see many Saints fans booing Fozzard when he knocked Fielden cold out with his elbow a few seasons ago.

Fielden also has an excellent tackling technique like Roby but it didn't matter then did it.

Was impressed with Wakey last night, next week could be tricky following the England v France game, especially if our rep players back up.

It would be very surprising if Wigan didn't win the league now, Wire wont make up 4 points while they are chasing the cup as well, and Saints will have no chance of doing the same with 6 to make up.
Good to see 3 Lancashire (old lancashire) teams at the top though!

Correct. This was exactly the point I was trying to make!

Yeah! I Bet your loving the League table right Now!

Not saying that I'm happy to see him injured you scouse bint!! I'm saying that your one-eyed enough not to condemn a player of your own who performs in the same way every other week.

Which way is it?
