| Let’s have some stoicism
Bad result but move on
Replace or remove George Burgess next year and we are a different team
No crying no bleating take it on the chin
Lam pick up your mard lip and move onto 2021

| As the game was heading into the last 2 mins I was seething with Fages but I had a word with myself. No individual should be picked out from that.
It was a tough, tense, horrible 80 minutes. It was literally a game of inches.
Wel’ll walk away as Champions but as cliched as this it, what an absolutely brilliant advert for our game. If only we had a bunch of competent people
who knew how to sell it.....

Lets just appreciate one of the all time great Grand Finals.'"
It’s all ifs though. If the wind had have caught the ball from Makinsons DG it might have blew it straight out, if Welsby had have knocked on it’d have been extra time and golden point.
I know I went off on one earlier about not kicking the ball into their 20 and taking the DG on offer after the penalty but again it’s an “only if”. It was a bloody fantastic game, genuinely brilliant. It just didn’t go our way and IMHO the best team overall on the night won it.
I cannot wait for the rematch in 2021.

| Like everyone else, I am baffled at that decision to kick for goal from almost halfway. Two minutes on the clock, bang the penalty 20 yards closer, start from their 30 yard line and send the props in for 4 battering attempts over the next 90 seconds, then a drop goal attempt from in front of the sticks from 15-20 yards....
If it goes over - we win.
If it misses - hooter goes and we go to golden point.
Neither option gives Saints a chance of winning in regulation time.
I'm not a £100k+ a year coach and I can figure that one out.
Lam needs to explain why the club royally fecked it up.

| What a brilliant game of Rugby League pity it could not have been shown on terrestrial tv and more watching it .Both teams D was trojan like right up to the very last minute .Saints kicking game was far better than ours they must practice this to death on the training pitch high ball up in the air and keep onside at the kick and rush up. Our kicking game was abysmal straight to full back all players offside and no chase. The woodwork played a big part in the match with the ball hitting the cross bar from the conversion and hitting the upright from the drop goal and bouncing back for Saints to score. What fantastic resilience Wigan showed in the match in defense all the possession that Saints had and not score only a freak hitting the upright score in the very last minute. Cant wait for next season to watch this team play again. Was kicking at goal for the penalty the right thing? if it went over the game was won a lot of ifs if we had kicked to touch and gone for a drop goal? Saints line speed a lot faster than ours .
Covid decimated our season this year but will crowds bounce back when they can to watch the finest sport ever. The players this season of all teams were fantastic to play the games at all they must have put themselves out social distancing at all times.

| I think Lammy has summed it up in all honesty.
The kick is 50/50. He kicks it and it's the right call, he misses and it's the wrong one.
The big mistake we made (not using the full minute allowed was another) was not chasing the kick. Saints were 10/15 yards further up the field than they should have been.

And not holding down before the drop goal play. 6 again would mean nothing in that si2as the hooter would go before they could try the drop goal

Does he definitely call 6 again there though and not a penalty?

Yeah if they had done it two or three times in the set then we would be looking at penalty and sin bin but would have been fine doing it once. Whether the players knew that I don't know.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Captivating game....
Considering many of our "fans" have moaned all season, and many people thought Saints unstoppable, it was hardly a one sided affair.
Massive kudos to all the players involved, shame there had to be a loser, but thats sport. Onwards!

A lesson we also should have learned from the 2014 final with Matt Smith is that the ball had to go dead . Good chance of the ball back and also run the clock down if we don't.

Could be worse. We could be Bradford I suppose.

What? People are discussing Rugby on a Rugby forum - how despicable! Shouldn't be allowed.
Simple - if you think it is wrong/disgraceful/disrespectful (" delete as appropriate) then perhaps you should remove yourself from this den of depravity and go and campaign about something you obviously feel strongly about (instead of making snide contributions on here and wasting your obviously valuable time).
