Another dour Yarkshiremon.

"You"lll have to play better in the GF to win it"....Will we? Judging Cas' "performance" last year, an amateur team could've turned up and won. Talk about stage fright. New underpants required.
Wigan. We've already [idone a number[/i on them, this season, so need to panic.

I hope you try and enjoy the final, and your Tetley's isn't too flat, come 8pm Saturday. Don't be too bitter

The “entertainers” score 1 scruffy try from a kick, we get 3 from open play! Price clearly had a game plan bash up the middle, kicks to the right wing and quick passing to the left wing to expose the “invisible man” sooty I mean Man of Steal(ing a living) Ben Barba.

Do the Revolving Door Manufacturing Institute give out awards?

If he had had ping pong bats the impression of a ground controller directing a plane into a bay would have been complete.
As for the Yarkshire fan above, it may not have been the prettiest game ever but the intensity was at 11. Not taking anything for granted but that level of pressure can only stand us in good stead.

In breaking news if we win it will be new name on it. “It’s always our year...”

Warrington won the game I watched which is all that matters to me, and I can live with you having a differing definition of "excellent".

We were never going to lose that. You could tell during the warm up, it was all hands to the pump, we had all 19 players dressed and warming up, we had all the coaches out running the players and a lot of non selected players were out there working them. You could just feel it.

We lose finals when I attend, also. We've also won a few. I know it's tongue-in-cheek, but we need all the support we can get.

If that's all it takes, can we do the same next week please?!

Respect to you JM for posting after a game that must have hurt after the season that Saints have had, and taking the defeat with dignity.
I was talking to a Wigan supporting colleague who said on Thursday morning the Barba had mentally checked out at Saints, and wouldn't be a threat. I think he may well be right in some respect, but I also think that Wire dealt with Saints attack with a dogged attitude to defending, making every tackle count.

To limit Saints to 1 fortuitous try on their home patch when it counts was outstanding.

As a Yorkshireman I thought it was a fantastic game. It was not until afterwards did I think about the quality on show. I'll take games of that intensity over free-flowing 10 try scoreathons any day.

Me too from another Yorkie.
Not sure what people were wanting tbh.
Nip and tuck with a fair bit of aggression and some nice try`s scored.
What more do you want from a semi final?
Impressed with Hughes, Cooper, Goodwin and Lineham but thought Ratchford had his worse game of the season from the games I`ve seen him play.

From a Cas fan.

Congratulations Warrington!!!!

Maybe not a 100% all round performance but your defence and commitment were 120%. Best team by a mile and would have been a travesty if you had not won.

Regardless of tonight's result, I wish you luck in the final. If we cannot win it I hope you do.

BTW I too thought it a great match to watch.

re barba, its not that he'd checked out, it was the same as the last time we were there, we were very very good at closing down the space that lomax created for him outwide, jon wells got it bob on at half time at how well toby king was holding position for that barba dash around the back. Match that with how richardson and all his fellow defenders got pulled in.
