Not often I find myself agreeing with the Sky muppets but that was bloody fantastic to watch.

When and where have you seen anything better over the last 12 days.

I am going to sue Virgin trains. Been at my dad's wedding in Edinburgh this weekend, and their delay meant I only got home to Leyland in time for kick off!

Ergo, I miss the best Saints Wigan game for years. I miss the first Saints Wigan game since I was 6.

B*stards! Complete and utter b*stards!

Worse than nerve wracking, i need a new dry cleaner!

I missed one for the first time in a long time but I have to admit it was worth missing to see that result!

Saddened! steps off the plane and the mood tangibly lifts. Sits in bar and watches a classic unfold.

Just utterly sensational entertainment tonight and a superb, spirited performance. I had doubts if we had the mental fortitude to stand up to something like that, but that settles it.

Wellens - Sensational, back to his best. Compare that to the level of his performance over the last 2 years. Where has it been? Best in SL by a country mile when he plays like that. Inspirational.

Francis Meli - One of the tries of the season. If Greg Inglis or Billy Slater scored that try it would be immediately ushered into immortality. Incredible showing from the big man today.

Jamie Foster - Bombed a try and escaped a nightmare moment when the ref ignored his stray feet. But from there he was sensational. His defending was perfection and his catching of the high ball late on was that of a man with titanium testicles. My legs were jelly.

The entire pack - Handled the bully boy tactics well. We would have won more comfortably had the ref penalised some of the, at times ridiculous, messing about, but the pack weren't backing down. St helens hospital should book 6 or 7 spaces for blood transfusions tonight as there are several Saints forwards with water in their veins tonight. Unbelivable effort all round.

Leon Pryce - Turns invisible under pressure? LOL! Superb today me thinks. Inspired the lead that lead to the win with his 40:20 and try, then settled the game with the booming hit on Bailey late on. Best 6 in SL.

Outstanding performance. I'm absolutely chuffed to bits.

dont undersell the game by having a pop at the ref, massive credit to both teams for giving us a thrilling game off passion, high intensity, bravery, great spectacle and great advert for our greatest game in very hot conditions and credit to both sets off fans backing their teams to the final hooter and beyond. credit to the game. this for both sets of players
again well done, it deserved a draw

That to me is why it*s the greatest game on God*s green earth.....Could*nt agree more with Paul wellens when he said Quote"you watch the footballers and wonder how they make a living"....Even the lad from Wigan playing with a busted nose....Footballers take note.....P,S,,,What a great advert for the game....

Aboslutely brilliant...

Thought Meli's try was a cracker!

WOW what a fantastic game. The last few minutes seemed never ending!!

Proof if needed that Rugby League is a lot more entertaining than anything you will see at the world cup!

You have got to give credit to both teams,ok there were some dodgy decisions but for me that gives the game more entertainment and it was absolutely fantastic,well done Saints.

Best derby in years! With that determination we can beat anyone!

As a Wigan fan I'm obviously gutted, but as a rugby league fan I'm honoured that I was there to witness such an epic game, well done to both teams. Saints probably just about edged it which the result shows.

Come on World Cup, give us something better than that, I bet you can't!
