| That was an old, creaking team on life support, showing one last sign of life before they go off to oblivion.

| Really enjoyed that, Saints fans must be wondering where that performance has been hiding for the last four months, credit to Wire for not panicking when they were two scores behind

| Fair play to Saints, they had a dig but they're not the team they were.
Wellens looks like a rabbit in the headlights every time hes interviewed.

| Great game to watch. Obviously, the Wigan in my blood wanted Saints to lose but when it got to golden point i was quite contented with us maybe playing them after such an effort but when Williams kicked the drop goal, the Wigan in me came surging to the surface and i couldn't help but start cheering and shouting 'F*ck off Saints' at the telly.

| Firstly, wow what a game! I wish somebody with vision and financial backing could get a grip on the sport in this country because I'm a sports fanatic and there is nothing better than that!
As for Saints, you have to give them credit. Tonight is why I could never write them off. The play offs are a new comp and they have so much know how. They never get battered in a play off game and you have to nail down the coffin firmly. They're not the side they were quite clearly. Guys like Walmsley and Lomax look close to being done but they nearly squeezed through. I think Leigh likely give us a tougher game next week tbh because of what that will have taken out of Saints.

I think that's true. We'd have been cooked next week if we'd have gone through I think. We looked completely finished towards the end of that game, couldn't believe we managed to get over for the last try. Unfortunately, that GP period was poorly managed with some poor play from players that were clearly out on their feet

| great game!!,Saints are in the past tense now they need new blood etc.
St Helens in the past would have found a way to win,said it 2 years ago with the players getting older and more prone to injuries they would struggle,Wigan are the more superior team now,In the club,players and the set up.

I didnt see last night's game, as a neutral (of sorts) do you think tonight was reffed differently to the regular season? No yellows and I think only one high tackle seemed surprising.
I was at the game so it felt different during.

Well Liam Moore didn't seem to care about the ruck speed but thats the same every game he's in charge of.

I thought it was reffed really well and well done the players, zero histrionics, I can only recall one bog standard lazy high tackle from Walmsley, penalty sufficient, play on.

| Good exciting game but the quality wasn't the best. Error rate and number of missed tackles show that. Wire will need to be 3 levels above that to cause KR problems

There wasn't anything really of note tonight that would've been adjudicated differently in the weekly rounds but last night saw Lafai not even penalised for a challenge very similar to the one which Vaughan got a red card and 3 games for only a few weeks ago. Now I'm glad it seems like they may give more leeway but all the same, that causes confusion.
One thing that did make me chuckle last night was Amor laying in to Darnell Macintosh for staying down. He was on Comms when Welsby stayed down at Leigh last week and funnily enough, he didn't seem concerned with it then.

Saints got away with murder at times at the ruck it was that slow, but fair play to them if they can get away with it why not?
We did similar against Penrith in the WCC and Penrith didn’t adapt to it, just like last night Warrington didn’t adapt to that element of the game and how it was reffed on the night.
