28 Jun: SL: Warrington Wolves v St Helens KO 7.45pm (TV)

[Cheshire Setter]

Silly by Goodwin all he had to do was stay still not turn 

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Little nibble, deserved pen, just more brainless rugby.

[Cheshire Setter]

Rubbish last tackle option Clarke should have seen Saints had the numbers 

[Cheshire Setter]

Did I just see a Saints fan calling for 10 mins in the bin for his player knocking on?

[DavidM]

Ruck area is a problem for saints . No Roby , no Smith now and Bentley is struggling. Big edge there for Wire

[Cheshire Setter]

Warrington seem a bit happy to let the offloads happen and keep their defensive line.   They must have confidence in their stamina.  I guess we’ll see come the 60 minute mark, but I’m not sure it will work against Saints like it might against lesser sides.

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

too many PTB pens, chance for Saints to get something b4 HT

[DavidM]

I never know why they stop the clock when there’s a shot clock 

[Cheshire Setter]

Who would have expected no tries in this weather with the top two sides?

Warrington 4-0 St Helens HT

High intensity, tryless half. Bit of a moral victory for Saints given they are down to their third choice hooker.

Warrington have let Saints off the hook according to one Warry fan.

I can't believe we have Sean Long in the studio when he has just gone to Rugby Union. It's not exactly saying much for the sport that when we have pundits that are employed elsewhere.

And Sean Long. He reckons we let them off the hook and we should be 18 up.

[DavidM]

Very intense between the top two . Fatigue will come into it you’d think and something will give in the second half 

[Ullman]

No tries but really enjoying the contest.

That’s an astute observation. It’ll probably lead to the team scoring the most points winning too.

[Leeds Wire]

Long isn't part of this sport, he should just clear off. Stupid decision to get him on.

He also looks an absolute mess with his big old tattoo! 

The ground, crowd, atmosphere and game looks electric though... Great advert for the game

Wire to edge it

[Man of Kent]

Sean Long will fit in a treat at Harlequins. Barbour jacket, red trousers and neck tattoo, what?

Well in a way I think he probably means we’ve not gone for the throat when we’ve had the chance...   which is true but is also our style.   It’s worked in most games (although it’s a little tedious) but I can’t tell yet whether it will work against this Saints side.   It’s almost as if we’re practicing for a tight semi or final and playing the attrition game.

[Manx RL]

Good to see Bernard making an appearance.

If he wants to go to the dark side, then let him. He is not part of TGG anymore. Get rid.

When I see him in my local I’ll shake his hand and recognise his contribution to the game.
