Cracking game, how many players would have chased up after that drop goal attempt after 80 mins.

Yeah, second to the scene was James Bentley after 80 minutes and 70 tackles.

If you don’t rate that game, you don’t rate rugby league. I’m sat here gutted but as a man who has been at every Grand Final bar one until tonight, that was the best one I’ve seen. I’ve never seen two teams quite as stubborn and unwilling to break as that tonight in the history of the Grand Finals. We lost to two penalties and an unlucky bounce from a drop goal hitting the post and that summed up our defence tonight. I don’t think they’d have broke us with ball in hand if they’d played for a month.

What a game, the brute force and grit from both teams. Also the self belief and determination to win of chasing that drop goal in the dying moments. As a RL fan that was awesome but as a Wire fan, sad because that’s what we lack.

Brilliant game and an amazing ending.
I love to watch really committed defence and that was one of the best examples that I have seen, reminded me of the world cup final from 3 years ago.
Not only was it the best GF but one of the best games of SL I have ever seen.
The Commitment, control, decision making and patience from both sides was unbelievable,
Congratulations to both teams

One of the most craziest posts I’ve read on here. Was you drunk watching the game?

Didn't watch this game as i just wasn't interested but after reading all these comments i'll watch it ASAP. I'm glad saints won it

I haven't got sky, apart from sky mix which didn't show it , but should be able to watch the highlights on BBC.

Maybe we like different things. I wasn't thrilled by it, the same as the last world cup final. If others thought it was best game ever, then they're entitled to think so, and I'm fine with that,
It just wasn't my cup of tea.

The Australian GF and SoO series games contained more than just two defensive sides cancelling out any skill with ball in hand.

No. and nor was I on drugs before you throw that at me. Far from crazy, just my opinion.

Bentley was my man of match he was everywhere in your defence tonight

I can understand both sides of the argument, with regards to last night.
I enjoy a slugfest as much as the next man, but after 50 minutes, I was praying for someone to break the deadlock, just to change the game's outlook. A game for the purist, yes, but we do watch to see tries.
It put me in mind of the NYD Derby at Wigan in 87, where the game was decided by a solitary Cullen try, in dreadful conditions. 30 men not giving an inch, back in m the days when it was only a 5yd ptb.

What an awful bore fest slug fest that turned out to be, dire.

A pots for rags finale to a pots for rags season.

Just imagine if six games a week for every week of an entire season turned out like that.

Old Trafford breathed a sigh of relief

i really enjoyed it.... 2 committed teams who refused to take a backwards step.

proper game of rugby league.
