If Salford have any chance of winning they will have to withstand the early onslaught from Saints that is going to come at them. Saints will be very fresh and ready to go and will throw everything at them from the kick off in the hope of draining Salford so badly that they cant recover. It remains to be seen if Salford can withstand that early onslaught, i certainly cant see it but if they can get through it and force some Saints errors then you could see Saints start to panic out of fear of losing 2 finals. I just dont see it and i think Saints will win fairly easily.

As i said last week, im just glad its not us that are facing Saints tonight. At least we wont have the double gloating of them being champions and beating us in a final.

Over after 20 mins.

Is it

Not over at all. Whilst Saints may of started like a whirlwind, they didnt quite take enough out of Salford for my liking. If Salford can level the scores then i can see Saints falling apart

Now its over. Saints in total control.

Thanks to Chris Kendall they are, they’ve had everything handed to them today, weak pathetic reffing

At least we won’t have to put up with another toe curling letter from McAnus, saints were the better team but there were some very poor decisions by Kendall, the Dudson one was plain embarrassing

Nah, they had it wrapped up before Kendall lost his mind. They swarmed Salford in the second half. We've just got to admit that Saints were the best team and deserved the win. Their players look super conditioned compared to everybody else. Bigger, faster and more powerful.

What a state the game is in though. That Saints team probably isn’t even in their top 5 SL sides yet walked the league.

I’ll second that, the referee did Salford no favours whereas he did Saints plenty.

Swings & roundabouts, Salford had Thaler in the game against us

I used to think I hated the days of Saints v Leeds every year.
What we’d do now, for 2 X-factor teams competing and putting on a spectacle worth watching.

Salford getting to the GF was lovely and everything but by heck we don’t half have a beige sport, do we.

I must admit, I flicked Strictly Come Dancing on after 60 mins such was the boredom in the front room of my house. Was the final 20 minutes anything other than a bit of blood & thunder?

Thoroughly enjoyed the game.

Couple of 50/50 calls had gone the other way then Salford could have taken it to the wire. Fully deserved title for Saints though.

They try direct from the scrum was a superb move. One I've not seen before and executed superbly.

Reminded me of how we used to play in the early 90's. Why teams dont put on set moves like this more often ill never know.
