Walmsley was awful. He offered very little going forward. You compare his performance to Mike Cooper who's half his size and it was a poor effort.

A lad his size should be busting tackles most weeks but I genuinley can't remember the last time he did so.

He also went off after 20 mins and as far as I could see he never came back on till 50-60 mins.

Didn't Patton halt Alex W?

Record will show we won, the rest is irrelevant.

That's outrageous. I think we should contact the rfl and demand an explanation.

Well if you're going to contact the rfl just make sure you do it discretely and don't tell the local press

Will there be a replay or do we just post the trophy to the team that would have won except for
1) Ref bias
2) Ref incompetence
3) That nasty Wire team daring to tackle the preciouses
4) Their players had had too much rest
5) Their players were coming back from injury (good job nobody told Jack Hughes that this would affect his ability to keep hold of balls).
6) (My personal favourite) the RFL had told us to let Catalans win last year and we would be guaranteed a win this year
Have I missed any... oh yes
7) MR McManus, Mr Holbrook, Mr Vegas...your boys took a hell of a beating!

8. Matty Lees didn't play.... Hill is terrified of him apparently.
9. They shouldn't have watered the pitch as it caused Coote to slip and miss the conversion.

We got any others???

10. Roby’s Zimmer Frame was rusty
11. ’Monkey’ prefers Yorkshire Tea over PG tips
12. Makinson’s Golden Boot was slowing him down

Sorry MW88 but the others are genuine excuses put forward by their fans (apart from 7 which was self indulgent).
Otherwise No 1 would have been LMS’s knuckles dragging on the ground slowed him down.

My bad, Imagination got the better of me CH

On a serious note it’s actually laughable the amount excuses thrown about. I think given the fact they’ve gone so long without winning the CC and expectation to win, it’s obvious the result has got a lot of them triggered. With the odd exceptions, 2 of my close friends are die hard Saints fans & admitted we completely out played them and deserved to win.

It’s now covered in the Warrington Guardian.

I must say , i travelled to Wembley & back with a couple of Saints fans & the conversation going was quite affable. Coming back you could cut the silence with a knife.

All the excuses I stated are on Redvee including the conspiracy theory.

It didn't look remotely like a try to me. His hand wasn't on it.
