Leigh were at 178% and Saints at 48% and almost snatched it, moral victory

Interesting that. I am in a rugby whatsapp group and we were all saying the same. I wanted leigh to win just for the sake of it and Redvee will be a popcorn occasion tonight but they are done Saints. Paasi looks like he his finished for the season, Walmsley's slow decline came home to roost today and their backline is very average, as is the (World class) Welsby who is the most overrated commentary player since Trueman.

Iv'e only read half a page of redvee and already ive got

'Leigh scored from our mistakes'

and

'Smash and grab job from Leigh'

I need to wait a few hours, it's going to be a delicious read.

Have to disagree on Welsby who I think has turned into Saints' main man and shows quality on most touches. But their outside backs lack pace and threat aside from Hurrell close to the line, their forwards don't quite have the same power as they once did and their defensive intensity has also dropped.off.

You may go blind

What anyone says now may well come back to bite them tomorrow. Hull KR will be a tough game which can go either way.

Whoever gets through will have a job on their hands in the final.

I do have to question the tackling technique of the bloke who did Paasi. I know it’s not technically a cannonball but it’s dodgy imo. He did it a few times, forceful contact direct at the knee, needs to be looked at.

Any criticism of Kendall is completely unwarranted IMO. Thought he had a great game today and got most if not all of the major decisions spot on. Though it makes a big difference when you have a game with very few loose carry/interference decisions to make.

Leigh deserved that,as pointed out St Helens are on the slide now with their ageing players and a average backline,they are not as strong as they were.
The forwards are not as good as they think Knowles etc.
Wigan will overtake them poss Leigh now that would be sweet.
All we have got is that they are the greatest team and can go on for the next 10 years what with their academy etc No it is coming to a end now !

There is most definitely a worm-hole to a parallel universe opened up somewhere above LSV. Did anyone honestly see this coming? I mean, second on the ladder & with a more than decent chance of (and I really can't believe I'm thinking this...) doing the double !

I will,when he PMs me

I thought the Hurrell celebrations for his 'try' were funny. You can see the logic - act as though you're certain you've scored and if the ref sends it up as a try it's given if there are no angles to see the ball. Problem is it was all too obvious what he was doing and the ref probably gave no try as a result.

It certainly, for me, makes me question what KR is doing at Wigan. From the championship to 2nd in the league - with some excellent signings thrown in for good measure, they've smashed it in a very short time. We however seem to continue to plateau, with next season's signings always being talked about as being the missing pieces. Imagine if we'd have signed
Asiata instead of Mago etc.
