I'm not heading to Ladbrokes just yet and we rode our luck in the second half, but the attitude and tackling were pretty faultless.

Connor and Pryce are such a pair of mards.

Dreading next week already

A wins a win. Next week, well there's nothing to lose.

We have their number in the playoffs, bring it on. With the attitude of last week's second half, it will be just as close and we'll at the very least give a decent account of ourselves.

Dufty to skin golden boy to knock them out on their patch.

Wait, I think I just turned the 'Optimism' feature on!

Let's hope we extend the hoodoo next week. We are due one against them and hopefully the judiciary panel have a change of heart about vaughan this week, I'd love that just to see the explosion on redvee.

Imagine if we do nothing more this season than end saints winning run! I'd take great delight in that. Its a free hit as far as I'm concerned, i wouldnt be too dissapointed if we lost, we've been an absolute mess for 2 seasons.

So when Toby King walks into the changing room next season he can go full Jim Bowen with his medal, have a look here’s what you could have won.

He can wave his LL medal around all he wants, our lads will be flashing their GF winners rings.

If we know Vaughan isn't playing ,at least the management can come up with a game plan that has to work without him & a plan that all the players can buy into. Most important ,practising passing & catching the ball & backing up any breaks especially from Kasiano.

Let's just hope Jack Smith isn't refereeing, next week we've not exactly got the calls over this seasons three games.

6 penalties felt like we gave more away than that. Saints will probably get double that next week if we get Jack Smith as ref.

So beat Saints next week, beat Wigan the week after then beat Catalan at Old(dump)Trafford the last week simples.

Be Kendal or 6 again Moore..we all know the script by now..

Russell was outstanding. I’d be playing him over Thewlis next week, his superb kick returns will be much needed to give us yardage against Saints.

Russell has played very well everytime he’s been called upon.

Haven't we won every knockout game against saints since 2012?
