Derek, both sides got away with stacks of 'forward passes'. (Check the two that put McNally through on the half time hooter) The point for me, is that Championship refs. tend to call them forward. It would be nice to see some referreeing consistency. That said, I thought Thaler let the game flow - and surely that's what spectators want to see? Leahy did the same at Sheffield last week, and that upset Eagles' fans, no end, but it made for an entertaining spectacle.

My new favourite away ground.....why?

Good atmosphere, comfy seats, knowledgeable home fans, stewards who let you in with your own food and drinks, sensible pricing, good car parking-

A great night all round.

Your lot did a real job on Saints, they seemed to have a lot more passion and desire than St Helens. A good game for you but poor viewing for the neutrals. Looks like you're gonna be the team to beat. It was nice to meet you in Leigh, you've met a good crowd there. All the best, little owl

What tricks?

Playing well? Getting your boys sucked in? Playing the game with a smile/grin on his face?

I thought his his dummy kick was a new trick, would rather have seen him plant the ball down-field though. Who does this Ryan Bailey think he is, 'ooooh I'm a sexy footballer these days look at my many talents' soft-cock.

Didn't Barrie Mac once score a try following a dummy to kick...maybe they've been exchanging notes.

barrie took it one step too far (for a change!) by dummying for drop goal IIRC.

The cheek.
