Interesting take on the weekend:

Particularly liked the following, and in no way do I consider this to be true:

Chaos reigns and our opponents get wet!

Also liked

I wonder when the last time Wakey fans at BV were spoken of in these terms?

The North stand has worked wonders in terms of noise created.

All of which is better than what Royce Simmons said about last season's fixture!

So to sum up. Wakefield were better than us. Have I got that right Jon?

Cheeky sod, calling the pitch!!!

First its the refs fault they lost,Then Saints players mentality,Then the ground,Then our fans being intimidating.Fancy Wakey having the nerve to play at Belle Vue and to beat Saints and to top it all the Wakey fans out singing the Saints fans.Should be a law against it whats happening to the world but dont forget you can have a Table for £800 or a £1000 for the celebs to say hello to you.

Between Wilkin and Tush, there isn't much left to blame.
The Ref, Ground, Pitch, Fans, Changing Rooms and a team that just isn't as good as Wakefield

Don't think he meant the pitch tbf, think he meant the collection of sheds that surround it



Also, he's writing for Saints fans and telling them what they want to hear - like JD used to.

He also forgot to mention that we have had some right pastings by saints in the past and after the first minute I thought it was going to be a long......long afternoon.

cue the fat lady!

I love it when teams that loose to us start clutching at straws, keep them coming its so funny

Indeed. I hope Hull KR come up with some too.

Yep he's playing to the crowd and thats what you would expect him to do.

Actions speeak louder than words Mr Wilkin.

Sat in Kefalonia reading that and listening to a Cee Lo Green track called cry baby,ironic or what?

dear john,
my old captain used to have a phrase for these circumstances
"winners can laugh and losers can please themselves"

sorry JON

Can't stand Wilkin. Thinks he's some kind of intellectual or God's gift to RL. Courts the media and then moans about a camera in the dressing room at the Grand Final? Odd.

But he is right about Claire Balding. She is head & shoulders above the other presenters & we should be pleased that she presents our sport on the BBC as well as championing it whenever she can. She loves rugby league & is much better & knowledgeable than those sky anchors

edited, don't thank me!!!.

Is chaos a scouse term for exciting, then ?
