In terms of play off rugby it was a nigh on perfect display. Outstanding defence throughout, and as the game wore on we upped the ante in attack. We are a threat, make no mistake.

I do think Roby's 80 minutes every match and amazing quality sets the bar so high he just finds it hard to get any higher , therefore an average match for Roby is a good match for anyone else.

Really took a strangle hold on that match.

Cas just folded in the second half and the Saints forwards had a field day.

Dare I say it but you played a bit like Wigan tonight but with the extra Roby gives you, but Micky Mac wouldn't give him that much room,

Saints ground out a convincing win. It was a poor game, with very conservative play from both sides. barely a line break, fluent passing move or outstanding bit of skill all night.

If Sants had Walsh & Lomax in they would be favourites for the GF, to get the LLS & to the semis is a credit to them with the players they have missing.

I thought it looked a tough game with defense on top for long periods.

I just think Cas ran out of steam

don't you mean micky cack?...i watched him the other night against the giants...all he did was act as halfback and pass the ball..(then he knocked on near the giants line)...then he got took off...ive yet to see this overated hooker make a break like roby or clarke....micky cack wouldn't give roby that much room you say..no he would proball'y stick his leg out and trip him up...grossly OVERATED!......

Almost perfect play-off football, albeit against terrible opposition. It's hard to judge how effective a similar performance will be next time out as Cas folded as soon as Turner scored.

The next game will be a war and I hope the lads will be ready for it.

I hope you are not trying to compare Paddy Wack with Roby because its a useless excercise. To avoid embarrassment I won,t post up Roby,s influential stats against Paddy Wacks.
He is far superior though in giving thuggish penalties away, if this is what you mean then you are correct in your post.

I thought it was a top quality performance. The kicking game from turner was top draw and also lance and Roby put some very good kicks in.

We did the basics very well. We didn't get carried away and try and over play, it was simple but very effective from all 17.

James Roby for me was a machine. He was everywhere and he showed clarke what it takes to play well in big big games.

There was only one frustrating thing and that was Mose and his run up before taking the ball. Everyone around us was saying the same thing in that he is still taking the ball up too flat.
He did have 2 carries where he was at speed and made metres, its still frustating that the team and Mose himself have not sorted this out to make him more effective.

Whilst it was a convincing victory for Saints it told us more about where Cas are than where Saints are.

Nice try but I disagree to an extent.

The first 15mins was a good arm wrestle and we came out on top. We needed that.

Second half was a breeze and yeah Cas weren't great.

The same goes for the Wigan game to a lesser extent. It was more how poor Huddersfield were than how good Wigan were, the same goes for Saints v Cas. Hard to see how good Saints and Wigan are playing when their opposition folded like a house of cards.
