And still Wilkin said nothing about Fax in his interview with Walmsley, his sycophantic ramblings about Saints make me puke

Although he plays for TWP he never has anything complimentary to say about the Championship.

You Wiganer’s are more bitter than a Limoncello. 

Why so angry Davo?

[Gerrumonside ref]

Thought the Halifax fans were great to be honest and stayed behind the team even when the game was effectively lost.

Anti-Rugby at its finest from Halifax. A bit of heart and effort in defence but they actually have not made any attempt to actually win this game here. I’m not sure what the thinking behind this was, really. Did they think they could keep us scoreless? Did they think they’d tire us out and then as we’re battling exhaustion, push us over ala Homer Simpson’s boxing career? Who knows?

Anyway, that’s one demon somewhat exorcised. Lose-lose this one. We lost and it would have been the biggest shock in RL and win and it’s only Halifax. 

I really hope Danny Richardson enjoyed playing Halifax. He’ll be there for most of his career now. He’s sub standard. He’s regressed beyond belief. Championship bound. 

Nice to see your as classless in victory as you are in defeat.

Are you bitter because we got a better game off the 8th best team in the second tier than we’ve had off the postbox bothering rectums this year?

Have you got your parents permission to come on an adults rugby forum ??

I won’t resort to personal insults, unlike yourself.

You seem rather angry, maybe go for a walk and clear your head. Give the Internet a rest for a bit.

Hope the final is a good game by two good teams and a good Wembley crowd

Say what you want but he's obviously been told not to give penalties at the play of the ball, towards the end there was one penalty given to Saint's but the Fax player had to lie on for a minute and insist a penalty was given against him before the referee obliged

You couldn’t differentiate between knew and new and are insinuating that people are thick? 

Pot meet kettle...

Congrats to St.Helens but they didnt impress at all! Take Roby out and I am not sure they would have won. Attack was awful from and lacked little imagination despite all that possession. I thought St.Helens before the game would clear all silverware. I feel they dont look so unbeatable now.  However I think the way Fax played showed St.Helens have some weaknesses and rely alot on Roby, Coote and Thompson. Today they looked disorganized and struggled to be creative for me.

Fax surprised me as we have been very poor often this season including last week at Dewsbury. But they played as a team and gave a lesson to St.Helens in playing for each other and having enthuiasm. The unusual tactics of short kick offs and kicking early etc alongside a great aggressive defence had St.Helens looking clueless for long periods. Great to see the fans enjoying the day out and singing even when losing. The big question is now can Fax build on this both on and off the field in future?

Go count your hubcaps, you are graceless individual.

Not managed to watch the game but sounds like an epic performance from Halifax. Well done to them and everyone involved in the club. I have no doubt they made the town and their supporters very proud today.

Great to see Saints in the final again after 11yrs; won't be able to go/watch but should be a cracker against Warrington.

Sadly for most I know it's the travel cost that stops them attending the final.

Cut out the petty personal insults.

Thank you.

I know. London is stupid expenses. Plus travel costs.

Why was this game even played? It was clear from minute one that Kendall was going to give everything to Saints. The second Saints try, where Saints got a penalty for throwing the ball away after Halifax should have had a repeat set, climaxing with Peyroux knocking on over the line, really brought the game into disrepute.
