16 Jul: Warrington Wolves v St Helens KO 8pm (TV)

[dkw]

Very strange penalty.

[Padge]

Right decision ball steal with more than one in attendance. 

 

Atkins was clever and forced it to be looked at.

[MrFussy]

Fair play, that was outstanding.

[Irish Saint]

Love this game

[Padge]

Very good try by Saints to pinch it.

[dkw]

Wow.

[flyingking]

Well done Saints, showed a lot of character; they made mistakes but then immediately bounced back.

[Griff9of13]

Well done Saints, a huge improvement on recent from capped off by a superb match winning try.

great game fair result

sour puss dont look happy

Cracking ending to the game, second half was a lot better discipline-wise. Masoe is an absolute bowling ball, I know he gets stick for not playing for long periods but as an impact prop he's a real weapon, he's a similar kind of player to Pala'aesina and he did a decent job at Wigan.

Warrington were hard done to in that match. Good try at the end for saints. Lots of 50 50s went saints way.

[The Future is League]

Tony Smith is under pressure now.

Too many penalties given when players were milking it, Turner throwing himself on the floor for example. I thought Child's was his normal poor self. A draw would have been a fair result in that match.

Disagree, thought Childs reffed very well and certainly knocked the mouthing off on the head.

 

I still can't believe nobody said anything about when Russell touched the ball behind his own line before putting his foot out of play, there was even a replay of it but Eddie was rambling on about the Stevo "no scrums" vote that it wasn't noticed. Should have been a drop out but a 20m tap was given.

 

Unless, obviously, I've got it wrong?

You were right Eddie was rambling on about Stevo's utter nonsense.

Correct on both counts Childs was good and Russel did before he should

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Another very hard fought 2 points for Saints.  Popeye and Bluto rightly looked pretty chuffed at the end.

[Irish Saint]

Massively improved defensive display and that's putting it mildly

[redjonn]

Fast and furious... about sums it up for me.

[marklaspalmas]

Good game I enjoyed it. A draw would've been right but fair play to Sainst and unlucky Wire.

[CiderWire]

We got lazy around the ruck and Roby, being the great player he is, exploited the situation. We had that game won in reality but hats off to Saints they saved two dead cert tries.

Wire desperately need a general out there..

On the plus side Dwyer was looking good again.

Great game, well played both teams.

[Saintslass]

Well, what a way to end a game.  We play dull rugby for most of it and then come up with one hell of a try with two minutes left on the clock!  Genius. 

 

I spent most of the match behind the sofa and feared the worst when Walsh made that dumb pass to provide Wire's interception try.  I was very relieved to see our goal line defence was back to normal and that we worked hard as a team, being down by one as we were from about 15 minutes in. 

 

James Roby is immense.  His kicking game was fantastic, his passing, his tackling, his awareness ... I have no idea what we will do when that man retires.  What a joy he is to watch in this form.  And well done Quinlan for being on his shoulder at just the right time. 

 

I think my blood pressure has just about returned to normal ...

Best defence won, great effort by saints on their own try line..... Great advert for a great game.

Shocking and I mean shocking commentary for Eddie and stevo.... Thick as !!!
