Perry was Wires MOM at one stage. Thought he was doing his best to give penalties and ball away.

I dare say his errors took the pressure of us.

Just not at the races today, dust ourselves down and focus on next week.

We missed Westwood.

Thought we were terrible but I really thought the ref completely spoiled the game.Shortest 10 yards I have seen in a long time and holding down by both teams.We were overpowered by a saints pack but lets not forget we were missing 2 of the 5 from the start then lost carvell.Hopefully the bad performance we needed to get a little focus back

waterhouse took a bad knock too!

A very poor performance tonight. You would think that after 2 years together Atkins would be able to pass to his winger???

Richie Myler offers very little creativity and doesnt control the game as a number 7 and needs to step up as that is what we bought him for. But I don't see him doing that. Time to look elsewhere

I could say more but I am sure it has all been said before on this forum about various players

You were poor tonight but the result ultimately doesn't matter and probably does you a favour - you could play far worse than tonight and still do Hull over and then I reckon you'll be under less pressure and weight of expectation with the semi being at LP than you would at the Flatpack. I'm a bit disappointed with the win tonight as I reckon we have the beating of you once in the playoffs but not twice. I'm hoping that your various injuries last a few weeks longer and that Atkins continues his run of form...

As well as saints played, perry was absoulutely embarrassing. The worst performance from a prop forward I have possibly ever seen

I would be very concerned if I were you, Wolves fans. You looked like rabbits in headlights tonight. Atkins and Hodgson both had very poor games, Brier's was a shaddow of his normal self, and Saints out-classed you in every department. I think you'll win next week, but I can't see you getting anything at Langtree or the DW. Shame, you've been a joy to watch at times this year.

The Saints fans were total class tonight,

















totally out sung Warrington, they were electric.

South Stand, the worst performance ever that I can recall.

We lost because Saints were very very good. End of. Our forwards were second best and so we struggled to make good yards. Backs in any team will allways struggle if the forwards are losing the arm wrestle (God I sound like Stevo). Saints on the other hand were making more yards, played the ball quicker and hence made more space for the halves to operate. Saints' defence was also excellent, especially in their own 20. We were shifting the ball left and right but the gaps never came. Very good spotting.

And well done to the Saints fans (& Wakefield). Only 7k Wire & Wigan fans and only 6k Leeds fans could be bothered turning up. Good turnout, as ever at the HJ, and very noisy too.

It reminded me of the London game, and we all know what happened the week after.

Westwood Harrison and Carvell out of the pack meant we didn't dominate as we usually do so the backs had no time or space to perform and we're constantly under pressure from a fast smothering Saints helped by lenient offside reffing(for both sides) hence the panicked dropped balls and missed opportunities.
Last year we breezed through to the Semis and got beat, I thought then I didn't like the team having a fortnight off and I think it's a negative not positive.
Now it's knock out.
Keep the faith lads.

My opinion for what is worth is that we lost because of several factors:-

1. No Westwood or Harrison which meant that our pack was dominated by Saints
2. Injuries to Carvell early on & Hodgson meant players had to do longer shifts, no wonder Hill was crean crackered at the end
3. Awesome defence by Saints meant we lost confidence when we couldn't breach their line
4. We didn't get the run of the ball. There were a few instances in the game e.g. Monas charges down a kick in the 1st half near their line then knocks on as he trys to gather it up. If a few of those had gone for us we might have stood a chance
