Brilliant first half for Saints! Welsby the difference.

Penrith attack looks so clunky with Crichton at Full back, he’s a centre wing all day. Bulldogs have signed him to a big deal to be fullback for next year but I’m not sure it’s wise.

Saints outstanding. Penrith playing as they and the NRL have billed the game.

That first Saints try was so important. They got rolled up field a couple of times before that and were back peddling and then bang. Brilliant on the counter attack that and they haven’t looked back since.

Fantastic 80 mins. Saints could regret those drop goal misses. They deserve to win it.

Saints should have won that in regulation, Penrith really didn’t threaten too much that last 20 like I expected and Saints should have put it to bed with the amount of good positions they got in to take the drop goal.

Deserved win

What a game.

Great win for Saints. Did their country proud today.

Justice done after the phantom forward pass.

Lomax forgetting the wind factor during the coin toss I thought would be costly

What a game!

Fair play to Saints, they fully deserved that and showed character to pick themselves up after being so close to winning in regulation. Gonna be really tough to beat again this year.

Good game and deserved win. Lets hope their fans are dignified in victory.........

Great win for British Rugby league.

Brilliant St Helens , absolutely brilliant !!

Well done Saints.

Thought they'd blown it at the end but showed a lot of character.

Right, let's get back to hating them !

We know one won’t be but happy for guys like Stu M, The Giraffe and FTV. I had a feeling they’d do it because it just feels like it’s a game they’ve built towards for 5 years, whereas the other team clearly see their own league as the club pinnacle and that’s really not to take anything away from Saints. They were too good for them.

Wonderful game of rugby league.

Congratulations Saints.

When it’s England v Australia I will support the English team every time, plus it makes an absolute prat out of Phil Gould who was once again ridiculously disrespectful of the Super League comp this week.

Really pleased for them, they deserved the win and it was a magnificent performance.

Having said that I hope the lose every other game they play this season.

Crichton, To’o and Luai not getting their own way for once was a pleasure to watch.

Great effort by Saints, like all great teams they never accept they are beaten and always find that extra “something” to get over the line. Congratulations to them, they’ve set the standard and it’s up to us to reach that level.
That might be rather difficult with our current forwards….

Have to say congratulations to Saints, very well played, never looked like losing

Games like this are a no lose for me. Either I’m amused by St Helens losing a big game or I’m amused by an Aussie team losing.

Given all the nonsense in the Australian press I’m delighted St Helens have won. No doubt there will be a load of excuses come out in the next week. One thing is for sure, Penrith took that seriously, their reaction after the equalising try proved that.

I just wish England can do the same sometime soon.

Well done Saints,great for our game over here.
Did Penrith declare at halftime as Phil Gould said they would.

Wait till all the excuses start coming even the Penrith player said "first game ",pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Sts never looked like losing, the score flattered Penrith.

We'll deserved win, saints were easily the better team. Robbed of a perfectly good try late in the second half. They showed great character to get the win after letting in the late try. Defence was superb and they always looked the more likely team to score. Well done but hope that's the only thing they win this season

Saints were far the better side and they fully deserve the plaudits that they will now rightly receive.

Thanks for that mate, appreciate it. Has been good to have the whole of British RL behind the team and glad they didn’t let anyone down.

Great win. No bragging here, just delighted they did themselves and SL proud.

Pretty good day to be a Saints fan given our performance today to provide them the icing on the cake.

Can't speak for every Saints fan but i'm goinhg to deginifed in victory
