Agree about Makinson. He is a great finisher but he clearly likes the headline show pony finish.


If he had gone low rather than attempting the swan dive that would have been a try without any doubt.

Ignoring the Catalans game last year, the attendance of just under 63k was the lowest for a Wembley final since 1998.

It's amazing how they've been telling us since 2014 that the Ben Flower sending off wasn't the reason we lost the GF that year but now a "no try" decision in the 3rd minite was such a game changer that there was no way they could come back from it. Priceless!

Redvee has gone into meltdown... made some entertaining reading to say the least. Yes we had the Knowles call go our away but the Lineham one was unlucky, especially if you scrutinise every ‘barge over’ from dummy half. Percival scored from a blatant forward pass against us in June which changed the game at the HJ, so it’s fair to say every team gets a bad call every now and then...

At the end of the day we stuck to a very basic but effective game plan, kept the pressure on saints and they cracked with the amount of errors forced. Vast majority of Saints fans expected to turn up and win just shows you anything can happen with the right attitude on the day. Play the game, not the occasion.

Very similar to 2002 when Stains "only had to turn up" at Murrayfield in order to beat us.
They got outplayed again there and bottled it.
Lam & Radlinski both had blinders IIRC, which under the current circumstances, amuses me greatly

Did anybody see Josh Charnley completely disrespectful of Tommy Makinson during the Wire homecoming? Real lack of class from JC about a player who is better than him.

Exoand your one tracked mind with a head wobble.
It's only banter...
On a further note, there is more respect from giving someone a banter chant than not giving someone a banter chant... have a think about it.

Giving a drunk rugby player a megaphone is never the smartest move, he could have said a lot worse.

Where can I find it?

Looking back at the bench last week, they were already down to having Paulo and Amor as replacements. I'd still make them fairly big favourites for winning the GF, but they're only one injury to Warmsley/Thompson away from losing their edge for me.

Very unusual to sing about particular players in that way but it was just a p!ss take of one of Saints own songs that they'd been singing at Wembley. I didn't see much wrong with it tbh.

Exactly. Banter, nothing more. I'm pretty sure Tommy and Coote wouldn't be too offended and see it for what it is. In our PC crazed world it's not surprising to see some think it's a disgrace... come on folks, just a bit of banter.

Could be right. Putting Wire's impressive performance to one side, Saints will probably in the cold light of day look at their error count (their biggest issue on the day for me) as a pretty fixable problem, and so I wouldn't go throwing their season's work in the bin just yet.

Lot of talk about Saints as bottlers which I'm enjoying immensely, but there's no guarantee that they're going to crumble off the back of Wembley. That starting pack still looks impressive to me, can cause some serious damage if they don't keep putting the ball down.

Lee's is going to be a loss for them, also seems coote is missing out again this week, he clearly was a gamble at the weekend.
