GAME ON : St.Helens v Castleford Tigers - 18:00:00 GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

The Entertainers v Classy Cas. Should be a magnificent game, unlike Wigan v Wire - shouldnt it??

Saints 1-4
Cas 4-1
Draw 22-1

Looks like a stuffing.

That was brilliantly set up try by Roby.

He is still a great player and the best hooker in SL.

Has their ever been a bigger flat bully in SL than Lomax who doesn’t/can’t do anything in crucial games but pops up on occasions like this to look good?

Also god help Saints when Roby retires, they’ve had the luxury of 2 world class hookers for over 20 years. When Roby retires unless they come up with a big replacement they’ll drop like a stone, he elevates everyone around him and makes them look better than they actually are.

Noticeable difference already with Roby in the sin bin.

Powell's not going to invade the pitch again is he?

Honestly if he got a season ending injury now then Saints wouldn’t win either of the 2 major finals (again)

I think you should watch more of young Aaron Smith before any assumptions are made.

We shut up shop and suckered Cas into going set for set during the sin bin - honestly amazed Cas didn’t go into Basketball mode

Wellens would be proud of that arm flapping from Paulo.

After the outrage last week at the bobble in the act of scoring I can only assume this forum will share Paulos frustration.

You know sod all about the Saints structure, Morgan Knowles and Arron Smith are good enough if we play as a team. Roby has missed plenty of games and been benched a few times this season, its Walmsley, Thompson and LMS who are giving our hookers quick PTB's once we are back to full strength Knowles, Smith and Roby will always play well off the back of it.

I know enough that if Roby gets injured then you aren’t winning any of the major finals whether you want to accept that or not.

I think you have been watching too much dross from your own side to think the Saints are a one man team, everyone said the same thing when Barba left us. Our current structure means nothing will change so much, we will still be throwing the same shapes and movement whoever is our hooker, Roby will tell you that himself.
