Quote: Saddened! "Silverwood was superb for us tonight. We need him for the final. Eamon has to make that his main task for the week.

It was a farce of a semi final to be honest. The ref made several unbelievable errors and we benefitted from most. We were always going to win tonight barring a really poor showing as Catalans were out on their feet.

But Stevo is right, we HAVE to be negative in the final. We HAVE to defend well and we HAVE to grind it out. And that's just to stay within 30. If we go to the Grand Final and try to outplay either Wire or Wigan (Probably Wire, I think they'll destroy Wigan tomorrow) we would lose by 30+ and could easily really embarass ourselves.

I hope Brown has the negative tactics drilled into them. Hold down, niggle, defend like their lives depend on it, kick well and chase like demons from hell. It's our only chance.'"


Your lot have just reached the GF and you're still cry-ing? Get a grip you moron.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



Sometimes you get the benefit of the 50:50's and Saints got the majority of them tonight. It's not Saints or their fans fault BUT don't moan when it goes the other way!!

We weren't when Catalans got their share vs Leeds, and we've had a few bad ones ourselves recently, so we should go into the final on karmically even ref wise icon_biggrin.gif

I was thinking. Paul McGinley recently got Alex Ferguson to address the Ryder Cup Team in an attempt to motivate with positivity. Maybe Nathan Brown should draft you in this week to promote the exact bloody opposite.

I can't believe you have been allowed on here for another entire season. Drivel.

I thought the sky team was an absolute disgrace tonight and i hope for the sports sake that Eamonn reports them after that display. Catalans score off a forward pass met with comments such 'well they deserve it' 'im glad' etc... Then the constant holding down in the tackle with a number of crucial ones stopping us having a chance of scoring a try (Manu being dragged around on the floor 4th tackle on the goal line) met once again with comments such as 'it should of been a penalty to saints but Catalans deserve a bit of luck because they're tired etc.. Elima punching young Richards in the scrum, yet according to the sky team it was Elima being held back which allowed Saints to score.

Then to top it off Stevo crying about Soliola getting a ban and comparing it to other incidents that was completly DIFFERENT! No contact was made to the head. Dam right disgrace

I know we wont but i would LOVE IT if we won next week, LOVE IT!

Considering that Saints lived on Sky Sports between about 2000 and 2006, and that Eddie & Stevo were permanently lodged up Millward & or Cunningham's backside, I think these whines are a bit rich icon_biggrin.gif

I'm impressed that Saints have made the GF, but I think you've done it "under the radar" so to speak, certainly in comparison to the aforementioned seasons, as most talk has been about Wigan or Leeds, and possibly us.

One thing is certain, if it's a Wire v Saints GF and we win, all those hammering, all those Long-induced last-second heartbreaks will suddenly seem worth it. icon_biggrin.gif

Let's praise Catalan for under achieving and coming 7th in the league and getting to the semi.

Let's pay no respect to the team that topped the table for 16 weeks of the season, that topped the league since May, that slaughtered the "golden team of 2014" cas and then stuffed the French.

Anyone would think they deserve to be at Old Trafford.

What you need to do is watch our game again on the SKY (Eddie + Stevo) version on Sunday then watch the BBC commentary version.......it will be 2 different games.

I'm not going to claim any anti-saints bias, but its fairly galling when a commentary crew seem to concentrate on every negative thing (missed forward passes mainly) possible instead of the good.

Am I the only one who saw Adam Swift's finish when he saw off 3 catalan defender to get in at the corner? He didn't seem to get a ounce of credit on the telly.

Had Oldfield scored that they'd have been talking about it for the next 20 minutes.
