Well after having watched the match again I'm still none the wiser. When Kev is taking the final kick, the Saints players are behind the posts consoling each other, (including Graham and a very upset Makinson I think), Bailey is behind Kev waving his arms at the Leeds fans in the crowd.
The kick goes over and both sets of players walk towards each other. Wilkin comes into shot staring at where Bailey has been and shaking his head. Kev is then seen hugging numerous Leeds players and then goes over to Bailey who is nowhere near the saints players and they go crazy hugging each other. Bailey then clearly walks behind the sticks and is celebrating by clapping and waving his hands at the crowd. He is joined in this at various points by Delaney, mcShane in his suit, Peacock and then eventually the whole team. Webb also picks up Maguire over his shoulder and goes a bit wild.
At no time does Bailey go anywhere near the poor little upset lambs so where that has come from I dont know.

Maybe instead of whinging to the press Wilkin might want to apologise to the St Helens team and fans for his very lacklustre performance. Anyone want to guess how many times he gets ball in hand in that second half?

in the case of yeaman and briscoe, they won't gave played a game for 5 weeks. the wire players 3 weeks. the team to play against Aus and Nz should get some practice.

Not playing your first choice team because you're worrried they are going to get injured is frankly rediculous.

If that was the point i was making you'd be 100% right but if you read what i'm saying you'd see clearly it's much more of a case of giving 1/2 of the new lads a better chance to be ready IF required.
Like i posted there are players within the squad who are shoe ins for the 1st 17 that can comfortably miss the France game and turn out against wales pretty much unaffected.

Not at all. In fact we should put our best 4 players on the bench against Aus until the last 10 minutes in case they get injured in the first 70. They would then destroy the injured Aussies. I am Steve MacNamara.

No. You're Andy Goodway and you've just left MOS, writers player of the year and Players Player of the year, Iestyn Harris warming his bum while Andy Farrell leads us to defeat (again) at 6.

[i"I've no idea what Andy Goodway was thinking about starting with Farrell at stand off and Harris on the bench. It's not for me to comment, but they might play one of their props there next week and I'll be quite happy" Frank Endacott[/i
