Shame but nothing to worry about really. We weren't going to catch Saints in the table and our misses tonight will cause St's more trouble next time (if we play them) than Lomax will do to us. The bounce of a ball and a try against the run of play beat us tonight. Nothing there to make me fear them in knock out football.

Something really needs to be done about Bentley though. He has no interest in playing the game and just wants to talk crap and cause injuries. He reminds me of playing for Rylands just under 20 years ago, every game would devolve into a fight due to one player on our side in particular just wanting things to kick off. He's like Connor turned up 10 notches except Connor actually has skill to contribute to the game. He is a grub of the tallest order and seeing Philbin knock the twunt on his was a highlight.

Yeah agreed. Lucky tries really.

I feel we got it wrong going for the 2 when we were 8 behind. Really dissapointed with the referee performance of Moore. I think he made some baffling decisions that all went in saints favour. The ruck officiating was appalling.

They won't miss Bentley he is nothing but a grub.

Call Bentley what you want, we let him play that game and get to us. Neither Currie nor Hughes are ever going to "deal with him"

You forgot LMS, and that pooh house who was full back for Hudds (amongst others) about 15 years ago

True.
We lack a Ben Westwood type, who can deal with such "situations"

I think you'll find the referee lets him play that game. If anybody reacts to it, they'll be binned, which is what he wants. Silly take. He has nothing in attack and only defends 3rd man in with his fist balled. I'll stick with a one Currie over a million Bentleys.

Poor second half but without Mamo’s ball steal + Lineham’s brain fart could have gone our way but can’t fault the effort but thought we missed Cooper.

Can blame Bentley the ref till the cows come home truth is certain pp layers let us down i.e lineham for his daft play glad he's going was never a fan..was widdop playing tonight.oly seen him at the end when he got carded another one that can go...and get some tissues for wilkin in commentary box the way he's describing Percival try

Haha one loss and this clown wants Widdop gone. You been on the bevvys mate? Dial it back.

Saints were missing both halfbacks and had to put a 19 and 20 year old there and still beat us with absolute ease.

The scoreboard totally flattered us.

We are a million miles away from winning a super league title and are only where we are in the league because the rest of the league is so poor

We can regroup for our next game. They have to go home to St Helens. There’s always a silver lining.....

Give it a rest Steph you're embarrassing yourself and your mum who you're living with.

Saints deserved to win....but remind me whose cup final it is? We'll have em in a game that truly matters AGAIN.

And yet before tonight St Helens had only won one more game than us. We were missing Austin, Cooper, Charnley (who's metres coming away from the line should not be ignored) and were done by the bounce of a ball and a break away against the run of play. Saints are nothing to fear.

Struggled to cope with the ruck speed. The played fast with the ball and pedestrian without it, but we let them. When we could generate some ruck speed we looked dangerous, but they controlled it well.

The notable tactic to run on the last is a strange one, caught out a couple of times for turnovers and it didn’t really offer much of a threat. Think we may have been better raining down on Coote all night, dull as it may be to watch.

Missed Cooper’s offloads too.

All told, not quite good enough. Take the first choice halfbacks from a team and you should beat them. More to come though, just need to find a way out of the slow grind, I think going wide early is our best chance of that. There was a few occasions where Widdop and Currie looked dangerous.

Likely face off with Mr Powell in play off week 1…

Thats my opinion less of the insults..try growing up..
