I agree, we've not been good enough to get to a final, and it would have felt undeserved, but its the way that the defeat happened that I find difficult to overcome. I'd have preferred a comprehensive defeat against an on form Wire tonight. The consolation being that it would expose our shortcomings and show those in charge the recruiting that needs to be done, and I'd much prefer to spend my time doing that than sitting here feeling unsatisfied and hard done to. Cunningham and McManus will feel the same, and that is no good for our fans.

It should be a compliment that we're micky taking. It means a big deal to turn you over in that way and goes some small way to avenging those losses in the naughties. It's nice to see the tide turn against one of our greatest rivals and most successful clubs and that's supposed to be a compliment.

good post. I think you r about 3 or 4 players off being in a final again.
Wilkin is finished. I think Walsh is getting to the end of his career. Thought Roby had a shocker tonight. |

Saints fans should console themselves with the knowledge that they got this far by virtue of their teams fabulous skills, tactics, fitness, coaching, teamwork and exemplary adherence to the offside and play the ball rules, with no benefit of 50/50 calls, benefit of the doubt, luck or benevolence of the officials. Not only this but you have bravely and with complete dignity overcome the fact the RFL, Salvation Army, Cub Scouts and Bramley Ladies Knitting Circle are openly in cahoots against your club.
Thank goodness you are the torch bearers for all that remains good about our game, I doff my primrose and blue bobble hat to you.

Roby's the new Rooney I think. He's played too many 80 minutes over the seasons, often carrying us, and on top of his drive, now we're looking to him to be creative in a team so short of flair. He's trying to do the work of a forward and a scrum half and he's over extended and looks jaded. |

agreed..the bloke needs some creative back-up.
I fear we might do the same to Clarke. |

There's truth in that comment: Oh how I used to love the nervous anticipation of returning to my car after any match at yours in the last twenty years or so (barring a couple of years) to see what damaged had been inflicted. |

At the end of the day one had to stand and one had to fall, despite a few iffy decisions Saints weren't good enough and played very negative Rugby league.

A bit harsh to compare Roby to Rooney, Roby still has some mileage, whereas Rooney is finished full stop. |

| Quote: Gazwire "Re Walsh offside. If the players are in front of the kicker then they have to remain 10m away from the player catching it or the bounce of the ball. There were a good few saints players within that 10m.
You can ground a try with the torso.
Very harsh for Peyroux's try, but by the letter of the law there was no conclusive shot of the ball being grounded.
Saints not penalised once for have players in front of the ref in the defensive line, time and time again.'"
not if youve had it in your hand before as if you didnt youve lost control |

it wouldnt as they ground it put, its not about being the best team its about who can execute the game plan the best and play the numbers. Saints were never given a chance as the ref was pinging them for everything.

the worse thing that can happen is if Wigan or Hull get to the final by the same means by poor ref decisions. its not good for the game.
