Yup, even down to the "Cheat to win" mentality of Pryce and Wilkin.

They should get a ban slapped on them for what they did to Grix, it was nearly as bad as Howell on Tomkins. And seeing as the RFL firmly believe that an incident that causes an injury is worse than one that doesn't (Utter fallacy, but there you go), then they should get at least 4 matches! (Of course, that's working on the RFL's slapdash non-forward thinking ruling just mentioned. My own view is a match each, but seeing as they didn't even get PENALISED for it, then I see it being very unlikely).

One day, Saints will beat Warrington through skill and skill alone. It may be in a hundred years time, but one day it'll happen. Forward passes and high tackles spoilt tonight. I was actually going to cheer for Saints seeing as that would help our League position, but from that moment I came to my senses. Warrington beating Saints will happen first, and hopefully when it matters most at the end of the season (Or in the challenge cup if you beat us in the semi final, assuming Stains make it to the final.)

Seriously, Hock facing 2 years out for taking drugs... In my view, attempting to injure a fellow professional is a FAR WORSE offence (and don't even get me started on 2 charges of assault and "ball tampering", Pryce should've had a Sine Die ban AGES ago)

(Please note, I didn't in any way say I disagree with Hock getting 2 years out, he's been a total idiot and it's a shame because he was one of the best players in the League, and Great Britain will miss him, but he absolutely deserves it. Unfortunately I feel I have to point this out, because some fans have this amazing ability to read stuff I haven't written.)

That's total bollox. It was nothing like. Swinging arm at worst. You sound right silly with your bitterness.

Why do Saints fans insist on bringing this "bitterness" up whenever I post something they can't argue with? What exactly have I got to be bitter about?

The fact that in 218 matches we've beat you 126 times? Or that in Super League, in 47 matches, we've beaten you 23 times? (You're on 21, there's 3 draws in there) Nope, surprisingly, I'm not bitter about that at all.

You say swinging arm? I say that's STILL against the rules. High, and a swinging arm... that's making things worse, isn't it?

You sound right silly with your lack of forethought and intelligence. But hey, I expect nothing less.

Pretty sure with the Pryce hit, the impact was chest initially.

People need to stop being brainwashed by the Sky propaganda machine and actually watch the footage as impartially as possible.

If we're talking the hit on Grix, Pryce and Wilkin go straight into the head, then Pryce makes a half-hearted attempt at dropping the elbow onto him on the floor. He did that several times tonight, that was probably the lightest one.

I don't tend to listen to Eddie and Stevo anyway.

Yes, I say swinging arm at worst. It was nothing like the elbow in the face given to Tomkins by Howell, which is what you were comparing it with. And it was either or both Wilkin/Pryce. From the footage it is hard to see who did the damage and whether it could be classed as high because Grix was also moving in a downwards direction. He split his lip so far as I know, which will need plastic surgery to fix, but that does not automatically mean that he was illegally tackled. Fas was injured from a tackle but that's just the game. I'm sure the RFL will pick up on it during their video watch this week and we will hear if Pryce and/or Wilkin were considered to have done something wrong. If they were then they should be punished accordingly. But from the footage it is very hard to tell.

And Wire were not angels when it came to aiming for the neck/face. Take a look again if you can stand it. Silverwood missed plenty on both sides.

Exactly, looked like a chest hit, bouncing into the face. No clear sign of intent (although Pryce had a guilty look back at the ref, so he clearly knew it had ended up high), and talks of sending offs or bans by video are ridiculous and just a little bit bitter.

Maybe some posters have next gen HD, also known as cherryandwhitevision.

Don't think lack of composure had much to do with it, having Morley out was a big miss and then to lose Grix and Clarke, it certainly didn't help.

Thought our defence was poor in the middle of the park and Morley would have defiantly strengthened that area.

seriously stop talking and take your saints glasses off

Christ your pathetic.

St Pete - isn't it time for you to do your homework before school tomorrow, and then hang out in the terraces of St Helens believing it is the centre of the earth?
Have you been banned from the Saints site?

I don't want either player banned - despite doing what they did - I would rather Saints be as strong as possible (apart from the final), as I don't want our rivals having a better chance of taking points of them - we actually need Saints to win every game until the end of the regular season (aprt from the final)......

As for missing Morley etc - it was probably pretty level in terms of personel missing - it was more to do with us being down to 3 interchange players for 70 mins, and down to two interchanges for the last 40 mins...we were just totally out on our feet for the final ten...Benny Westwood could harly stand up.
