Fri 26th Aug: SL: Wigan Warriors v St Helens KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Old Frightful]

My only detraction from that try was why didn't Thaler shout "held" when Cooper clearly wasn't going anywhere but was allowed to off load very late in the tackle.

WILKIN STFU man!!!!!!!!

[andyscoot]

I think that would get given or not based on how the ref sent it up.

Game over according to ‘minerals’ Wilkin. 

In his defence, he was obviously talking about that particular instance of nobody with any chance of catching Field.

"Put the glasses down" might have been a better comment.

[DavidM]

Good defence on the line

[bobbruce]

These penalties for the slightest contact with the head I get but what’s the difference with Smithies rubbing his head into players faces every tackle he makes. 

[GeordieSaint]

Difference between the sides tonight is pace. Saints have none.

But how would you know who the quality players were?

Do we need to be told? I think that most of us can decide for ourselves. I know you were being sarcastic, but they treat us as if we need to be told everything and we can’t have our own opinions.

And theyre basically a half back light 

[DavidM]

He’s forced him into a compromising situation ?

Time will tell but that pack of Saints is chewing up metres. It's only a matter of time imo.

[Just Browny]

Nobody can be calling that Welsby's mistake; it was a shocking pass by Lomax.

[dkw]

Smithies falls over, penalty Wigan...

[Old Frightful]

Harry Smith is paying Jack Wellsby no end of compliments tonight, can't seem to leave him alone, usually off the ball.

[Damien]

A bit lucky that penalty for Wigan

[SalfordSlim]

Why are there building works going on during the game? Surely the constant banging must be putting the players off?

[Old Frightful]

Farrell does what Farrell does.

[andyscoot]

Farrell!!!

[Just Browny]

There seem to be a lot of posts on here imploring the commentary team not to talk. Take it from me - you're going to be disappointed so turn the sound off.

Wigan are making Saints look very poor.

[DavidM]

Poor defence , worse penalty call before that

[Phil W]

St Helens changing room could be a bit lively at half time.

[Dunbar]

If you asked me to name one player who constantly does things that I don't think he should be able to do, I would name Liam Farrell.

[Loiner]

Does Lomax ever throw a pass other than forward, 4 times so far.

Think that’s game over this Saints team won’t score 18 pts.
