Maybe if T-mak just slid over the line from 5 yards out instead of being a pathetic show pony with his usual dive, then they might have scored early in the second half. Yesterday was the greatest day of my life(and I have told my children this!!)

Well that’s you off the kids Xmas list lol

I'd have a lot more sympathy for the saints club about the officiating if they had also complained about the officiating when they benefitted from a massive forward pass in our recent league encounter!

I'm not sure about all the calls, as has been mentioned a none try on the 3rd minute doesn't explain their game going to pot. Lineham scored a legitimate try though and a definite yellow for a swinging arm on Toby King was also missed.

Out of interest, what minute was the swinging arm in?

Was late on. 71 mins just before Clark put em to bed.

In the last quarter of the game Walmsley did a six foot move off the mark on his knees ,after the tackle but before standing to ptb.

My impression was there were a lot of late 3rd man flops from Saints but as no one else has mentioned it maybe it was my P ‘n B specs!

What about the Walmsley shoulder charge that wasn't given also or does that not fit the narrative of the the whole world being against Saints?

they have done that and got away with it for the last couple of seasons

The officials haven't been great for a long time, it's not gonna change so lets just leave it at that. It's the same conversations about the same things every year

I posted a congratulations post on here and have been enjoying the sunshine since. I should take it as a compliment that you're complaining that I've not posted since Saturday I guess



As for the other allegations, can I just clarify that I've not sent anyone death threats. My tweet was a jokey reference to the PR spin they did midweek about his death threat from the Warrington fan, nothing more sinister than that. I thought putting the 'kindly worded' bit would make that clear but obviously through the cold anonymity of a tweet a few people didn't understand the reference as they haven't got the intelligence to or hadn't seen the piece on Hicks. Perhaps a winking emoji might have helped as well, but I guess I've learned my lesson. I've had several 60 year olds who shouldn't be allowed near the internet hounding me all weekend and one of them threatening to poison my dogs as she knows where I live and they bark too loudly and smell bizarrely enough (I don't have dogs).



My thoughs on the game haven't changed. You were brilliant and deserved to win. We were awful and thoroughly deserved to lose. Hicks panicked and blew his day in the sunshine and that should cost him the Grand Final gig. I think it's clear the standard of the officials is grating everyone and whilst everything is hilarious because you won on Saturday, if you lost the Grand Final to Saints or Wigan after Hicks didn't refer a clear Wire try upstairs you'd be exactly the same. Sam Tomkins not getting sent off is still mentioned bi-weekly at kids football training for example, as this one will be on the parks and fields of St Helens for the next 12 years until we reach another final.

Peace chaps, I'll be back to discuss our mental frailties as we get near the play offs. First got to see if we can become the first club to break a 120 odd year old record for league performance and still end the season with no trophies.

He did everything but panic. He gave what he saw, which was a knock-on by Knowles, and got on with the game.

To panic would have been to go to the screen when he had the best view in the ground. And to be fair since Knowles didn't even claim a try he had no reason to.
