Knowles drops out of Saints 21 after picking up a knock. Bentley returns though and Woolf says he will feature.

[Davo5]

Saints by a lot.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Saints by 10.

[Futtocks]

 

[Man of Kent]

Blimey. Three Cas knock-ons close to the line in three sets.

Look like Saints have been practicing the dark arts in training this week. Cas can’t keep hold of the thing. 

[Davo5]

Walmsley really could give Tom Daley some lessons 

[Guest]

I see all the 50/50s are going saints way again.

[Man of Kent]

Nice try.

Absolutely perfect pass from Coote. Quick, in front of the runner and just the right height. Sweet. 

[Padge]

Saints player, Walmsley, did he really have the front to claim he'd been hard done to.

[Waynebennettswinger]

Those dastardly Saints misbehaving as usual and upsetting all these poor innocent Wigan fans.

Saints are a good team and don't need to do it but they can't help it. It's in their DNA.

[Davo5]

Surely the sin bin should be used.

[JohnM]

What happened to Team Warning?

As soon as it is threatened they have to behave and concede a try.

 

[Davo5]

Try from the new Billy Slater.

[Man of Kent]

Deserved lead for Cas. Played well (mostly).

I’d actually agree there, continuous team offences should have lead to at the very least a warning but really a sin bin.

Poor game this and Saints deserve to be going in behind at half time, hopefully we see a 2nd half improvement in quality and discipline. 

[Davo5]

Deserved lead at halftime,but we’ve been here before.

Gone the usual way, brought in, after a couple of seasons coaches get the message. Quietly ignored by refs after a few seasons, coaches spot its not being used and revert back to old tactics.

[johnh1]

Are Danny Orr and John Wells wearing the same suit?

[wasginger]

Saints playing to Cas strength taking it through the forwards. Negative tactics 1st half from Saints.

[Davo5]

Dumb from Bentley
