Great Game. Fell in /out of love several times during the match. Dont worry 'Winter's coming'. Well Done Warrington. 

[Fevrover]

Fully deserved by Warrington, great tackling.

[voteronniegibbs]

Well done Warrington, you can't win if you don't defend

[Dunbar]

I really enjoyed that. But I have always felt that tries got in the way of a good game of Rugby League.

 Just too up and down. 

Go on admit it. You just copied and pasted that from any year between 2009-2021 didn’t you?

Enjoyed that,some great defence on show but worrying for England Lomax was anonymous all night.

I only saw the last 15 minutes, but Saints had plenty changes inside the 15m line.  I thought when wire dropped a ball then saints would make it count.

No, no. That was a GF winning defensive performance.

And just as I type, Ben Currie says they know they have it within them.

Dodgy ref calls cost saints the game, oh well its not as if warrington are going to win the league

And this is why we can't have Wilkin commenting on Saints games.

Well as long as we don’t play any so-called lesser teams between now and the final we’ll be good. Because that’s where we fall down. We have an ‘Overdog’ mentality if such a thing exists!

[silverback]

 WOW, a great game,well done warrington.

[Hela Wigmen]

Wire desperately need Williams to take charge of their attack and gel how Widdop has this year if they’re to go well at the end of the year.

Ah, I had interpreted their booing to suggest that the referee was wrong to halt to game due to the injury?

So did I?

Penalty for barging a player off the chase but no penalty try....

a penalty on the way to the try line is not necessarily a penalty try

In the second half we had everything from the ref and still failed.

I disagree with that but you learn more from defeat. 

[Hela Wigmen]

Dodgy ref calls piggybacked us up field in the second half and Kendall put us in some great positions numerous times. We had nothing about us to actually force a try. Watching the same routine of winger, winger, centre, prop, prop take one out rugby in to a competent side was never going to work and that’s where we look a problem, we have no plan b. 

[hullste]

To be fair Warrington did stop the game a number of times when they were defending their line with so called injuries. Like watching Catalans a few years ago who were Masters at it. Toby King ran back 40 yards on one occasion to collapse on his line to make sure the ref had to stop the play.

Way too much personal abuse creeping in here.

Stick to discussing the game.

Next one who throws an insult in here will be getting 7 days on the sidelines.

Well i made 3 points and instead of debate its personal attacks, clearly because I am right and its the default argument to mock and make personal attacks

No, you said some stuff which was your opinion which no one agreed with. If you get challenged over a penalty which you think should have been given just state your reasons. Instead you went into flippant comments not related to the game. 

But I’m being unfair. Start again and take a step back from the emotion, explaining the issue.

I didn't think it was even worthy of a penalty, both players running back, one had more momentum and held the other one off.

Had the Saints player shouldered the Wire player off and scored, would you have thought it should have been disallowed?

[Chris22]

In an attempt to turn the conversation away from straw clutching, was that a really good game or really bad game?

I'm honestly not sure what I think. Thought it was quite tense towards the end but wonder what the neutral view was?

You mean this could be their year?

I think it should have been a try regardless, I would sooner watch a game with trys, we call union for tgis but our game is turning into it.

Several acts of gamesmanship in multiple games this season Gaskell being the worst for me running into a player and falling down like he had been shot.
