One thing that goes for us is we're used to playing under pressure but usually for the wrong reasons ie to stay in the league, also Kear has an uncanny knack of getting the best out of players in knock out competitions.

So does Brian Noble.
IMO i'd fear wigan in a playoff game more than wakey.

| Saints got a bad call with the pinball head on try.
Grix played the ball and the kick came in and rebounded all over the place.
There were no knock ons but Grix was in front of the kicker, so cannot touch the ball as he was within the 10..
It should have been a penalty to Saints.
Wakefield also got a couple of bad calls but not so decisive as that one.

Yes we are weaker this year but how can you blame potter?
He took over the current squad.
If saints board think we can let 4 players go every year and not replace them with experiance then we are in for massive shock next year.
IMO we are now paying the price for not recruting players for last 2 seasons.
If we don't sign 2 props next year then we will struggle big time.

I thought the last time it was allowed to head the ball for a try was the John Harrison one, then it was banned......has the law been changed now.

Harrison deliberately headed the ball, that didn't happen tonight, but Grix was in front of the kicker, so technically offside, and can't be inside the 10 even if a Saints player touches the ball.

I thought it was fair try. Nothing wrong with it at all IMO

Carvill last week, Grix this week, any forecast on a Harlequin player next week.

Watch it again, and I'm sure that Grix the try scorer, is in front of the player who kicked the ball (Obst?)

| What we can't lose sight of in all this is that Wakefield thoroughly deserved their win. Brough marshalled the team around well and I thought Grix mas magnificent once he seemed to move infield. Christ, even Bibey looks like a RL player now*
*I may have gone over the top with that last line.

Not watched on tv yet but from seeing it on big screen I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
We was beat fair and square by the better team.

Could be wrong here,so apologies if i am.
Grix was in front of Obst when it was kicked,but when Grix picked up the ball Obst had already moved in front of him -- hasnt Obst then put everyone on side?

There is no way it doesn't touch his arms either. But I would have given it just to punish the stupidity of the Saints players. Grix wasn't the closest and two Saints players just stood there counting the blades of grass on the floor whilst he picked it up and scored. One of the cumb nunts even stepped over the ball to avoid kicking it.
