| I know there's some complaint about us not putting a kicking on saints, I'll take that win, at this time of year, it's play off rugby. It's better win than most will give us credit for.
2 points, let's move on.

Yes i just wanted the 2 points today. Wasn't too bothered about the performance much because i felt this could have been a banana skin. Although i was surprised how easily Saints self destructed.
I thought our defence was excellent. Relentless in fact. Its the kind of defence that Saints used to grind out games against everybody a couple of years ago.

Fair comment if you happy for us to just be 3rd. Top 2 would be better and if HKR slip up at Leigh well for us we need to put at least 70 points on in our last 2 games.
Yes we are in a much better place than last season but what is wrong with wanting more. Oh my name Oliver Twist.

You didn’t get out of second gear and still won easily

Yip that had all the hallmarks of them squeaking a win. Them lomax steps doing us. Their crowd not confident, half a side and then showing us up.

| Didn’t get out of first. Was wonderful to see Saints reduced to celebrating a bog standard cover tackle so enthusiastically whilst getting battered. Weird and hilarious.

| Really miss those snide & condescending posts from Saddened after a Wire v Saints game.
Not seen or heard from him, for a while on here or anywhere on RL Fans for that matter.
Hope he is OK and getting on with his life.

| There are many things I could note from the game itself, but one thing that sticks out to me over at least the past season, is that I think we have on balance, the two most equally skillful and mature wingers in SL currently. Ashton and Thewlis are certainly the most impressive duo we've had in a Warrington team perhaps ever. Both absolutely safe as houses defensively, both can and will create a break or try from absolutely nothing. Both fantastic bringing the ball away from their own line. Cannot fault either of them. To think Thewlis is only 22 - with the head he has on his shoulders now. Amazing.

As a duo hard to argue that but we have had some great wingers in our past.

We've always had one absolute belter. However the other side of the field has always had the clearly inferior winger on it. Today we have two almost perfect wingers week in week out.

| It’s that time of the season, where two points are two points. Wire did enough yesterday to keep Saints at bay. Who in my opinion were absolutely gash, too many individuals look band average players. Walmsley fantastic player he was, it’s now time he looked to move off the playing field. As most have said the two yellow cards were diabolical, both players Drinkwater and Ritson want to hang their heads in shame. Bateman looked very good his defensive game was solid but he was making some very good lines, in his attacking running game. Overall going to to play off rugby, Wire are looking in pretty good shape.

| Without wanting to go all 'coach speak', I thought it was interesting that we spent the last ten minutes more interested in being solid as a rock defensively, and enjoying really crunching Saints (fairly) when they tried to mount an attack, than we did in trying to pile on points. I would never want us to go full 'Huddersfield in the 2022 cup final', where they got a small lead and then stopped trying to score, but it can be a good attribute once you've got the game won (as we had at 16-2).

| It was a good win. Defensively we have looked really solid in the last few weeks. Apart from the dip in form after the Saints and Wigan game and then playing with 12 against Leigh and Saints we are only conceding single figures.
Bit of a worry with Fitzgibbon. He went off in the first half and was showered and changed by full time. Any news on him?
It is a bit of a shame that we didn't manage to stick another 2 or 3 tries on Saints just to put a little bit more pressure on Hull KR. I can't see them losing both of their 2 remaining games and even if they loose 1 we would have to make up about 60 points so now looks like a home play off game and if we win that then an away game at Craven Park. But you never know because both of their last 2 games are against teams desperate to get in the top 6.
Like Ben Currie said in his interview no trophies for beating Saints 3 times in a season but it is an amazing reversal of fortunes from the last couple of years.
