i loved how matty really showed he still cares for us, he coulda just thought balls to it they never gave me a contract but he really showed his true colours today, top class, glad he got MoM

Why on earth is this lad not our 7 ? ?

A 7 who leads a 'team' round the field, reminded me of Longy tonight..

I know Kyle could be a superstar, but this is a tough tough game. Well done Matty, see you in 2 years when you've completed ur Salford loan

...And what a professional attitude too, to come back and put a performance like that in.

Also, when he then commented on how if Kyle came back, that was that, and he was lucky to have played in such a game.

After a performance like that, i'd be surprised and disappointed, if he didn't play in the next game.

Love it how all teams hate Wire now,

thats because some of there fans are cocky no offence but to say they are gonna win all the time after only once in 16 odd years is a joke

but you still hate wigan dont you

yea i work with these bellends after they won at wembely a wire fan said to me we will be favourites for the double der yea coz your the only team who can then he said who's gonna stop us i said erm saints then he said no fookin way will saints stop us roll on monday

he might not be as good but how many games is eastmond gona miss every season for you guys

In all seriousness I cannot see why he wasn't kept. Kyle, as wonderfully talented as he is, isn't an organiser yet and Smith would have been a sensational foil for him. Why not keep Pryce/Lomax and Eastmond/Smith? Give Wheeler the boot instead.

It's not a catestrophic mistake because Lomax and Eastmond is a perfectly good future partnership, Eastmond probably the brightest individual talent I've seen at Saints for years, but I just feel they could have fit Smith in somewhere. He could then have covered halfback and hooker and would probably have played most weeks. Instead we'll have the biscuits sat in the stands watching Wilkin and Roby play halfback most weeks next season.

Well, Matty did himself proud tonight. I've yet to watch the match back but some of his kicks were superb and he was clearly organising everyone. To walk into a side with a week's notice and perform like that showed a very professional attitude. I think he was the difference.

And Jamie Foster: what a match he had too.

But well done Matty.
