Saints look like a team who have just realised plan A isn’t working and don’t have a plan B. Be interesting to see if Holbrook can sort them out at half time.

Leave aside Hicks denying one certain try for Saints and then gifting Wire another by declaring a Wire knock on was actually a new set for them, Saints are choking. 

I’m sat in the Gods, almost watching the match from a plan view it feels like at times. Saints are not at the races. The structure we’ve seen all season as the ball goes to Lomax/Fages with Coote linking in, just isn’t there. Lots and lots of one-man rugby. We’re really not challenging the Wire defence, and it’s really apparent from this view that we’re not creating overlaps or space. 

 

With a 2 score lead, Warrington have won this. They’ll knock a DG over early in the second half is my bet, and Saints haven’t hit 3 scores in them today unless a different team comes out in the second half.

Looking at Hicks positioning at the Knowles no try , he was essentially straight behind it , and we haven't seen  a TV angle from behind or front on ( as far as I can recall ) , just maybe Hicks has seen daylight between the hand and the ball on contact on the ground , Knowles hand was sliding down the side of the ball as it was going down , maybe we are all in the wrong ?

Terrible attendance, looks really bad for me, top two teams in the game and struggling to get 50k. A long time ago, but 84k for Featherstone v Hull. How the times have changed.

Would've been sold out if Bernard had been giving out the cup .

You can't leave it aside though. Once again a ref is having massive say in a final with wrong calls.

Every time I see that "try" its clear for me that it was no try. He flapped at the side of the ball.

I'm tipping Saints to come back and take this one

Predictions for the future -

Widnes Vikings also to get a franchise - RIGHT
