It may be the case that every ticket has been sold but it was always going to be the case that many fans of Leeds and Warrington wouldn't turn up until their game and most if not all of the Saints and Catalan fans will depart when their game ends. The allocation being split by ends just makes it look more stark. The other end will be full for game 2 with the end that's full now emptying.


Excellent start by the Catalans by the way. Very reminiscent of their previous semi final when they blew us away in 2007.


Saints losing 27-0 brings back cup memories for us Wigan fans too.

Really really good performance by Catalans so far. Forwards are so dominant. Tread to think how empty Wembley could look if they go on to win this, but I sure am rooting for them now.

Who cares, it always looks bad anyway.would be fantastic for the game were Cats to go on and win it.

TBH not surprised that Saints are playing poor when the pressure is on. They struggled vs Hull in the QF and were fortunate that Hull got 3 yellow cards.

Damn. I don't wanna speak too soon because of our match later but christ, Saints are being well and truly D**ked by Catalan.

Fantastic play from Catalan so far, giving the middle a real thrashing.
Didn’t know how to feel about this game, Catalan have played with some poor sportsmanship in recent games, but I think I’m overall cheering them on, love an underdog, and find it hilarious going back to when the Saints fans cheered at being drawn against them.

Still, would love to see a 2nd half come back thriller

A good mullering.
Only need to play the percentage game second half.
If Cats get beat from this pozzy they all need guillotining.

Anyone else catch Myler whipping his chap out

And the 40 Catalans fans go wild !

Hmm Percival recovered quickly there

Can't believe Hicks didn't make him go off for a head test like he did with the Catalans player in the first half.

Seems weird that the foul play overrides the knock-on even though he knocked-on before the high tackle?

Catalan starting to fall into old bad habits now with ill discipline. If there is one team you don't want to be giving penalties to it's St Helens.

Stop flapping.
The game is over.
