Fri 31 Jan: SL: St Helens v Salford Red Devils KO 7.45pm (TV)

[DavidM]

I can only think the ref doesn’t like welsby as everyone’s been the same ? Unless the pen wasn’t for that 

[Just Browny]

Are the Sky commentary team even at the ground? How come none of them knew what had happened?

[jacksy]

This ptb mess needs stamping out.

Im fed up of the ptb mime.

[MZH]

Saints attack has been a bit disappointing so far. Pretty slow and ponderous. 

[Man of Kent]

There’s definitely more ‘foot dangling’ at the PTB than previously 

[DavidM]

Sorry but that ptb right before the try was exactly the same as the one he penalised

Still, Walmsley just needs to look at the ref for a penalty.

[LeeF]

Welsby used the ball to get to his feet & then rolled it back. 
 

[Man of Kent]

Lomax is all class. 6-2 Saints after 14

[dkw]

Tui lolohea, two of lolohea more like, chunky sod. 

[MZH]

The dam finally breaks. Poor defence by Lolahea. There was nothing on there, plenty of defenders. A gift really. 

[LeeF]

The Fages incident is also part of the PTB clampdown with him deliberately putting the ball on the defender’s foot

He looks slimmer than he did this time last year at Leeds

This seems to the impact of the tweak. They have to be ‘set’ to play the ball.

[DavidM]

Get out of the way . Thompson and Walmsley are just priceless to these

I agree 

I thought last night and in the first 20 mins this evening that the PTB has been more stable with less flopping about and less “hands in”

Good Salford bench, Saints less so.

I wouldn’t say that about the Saints bench. Ashworth and Smith are GF winners and Lees is quality. 

[Chamey]

What an absolute joke.

[Man of Kent]

Sarginson wasn’t on his feet. Consistent (but a talking point!).

[DavidM]

Pauli Pauli has no strapping on ! Good sign

Sarginson was too busy flopping about trying to get a penalty

[Wolford6]

Salford look underprepared.

So does the ref

[DavidM]

That was nice . Saints halves looking busy and threatening whereas the Salford halves havent been a factor and haven’t gelled at all 

[Guest]

Disappointing game so far, pretty boring, lets hope the second half is more entertaining.
