Martin's actions lifted him and dumped him. The only thing that stopped that being worse was Lomax putting his arm down. 

Absolutely illegal. And rightly so. 

Martin's action was to tackle in a copy book manner, the risk of serious injury in this type of tackle is far less than in a lot of the chest/head swings that result in HIA assessments. You obviously disagree, but this type of tackle is without intent to injure, unlike the wild swings, or chicken wings, so to me is part of the game.

There is no doubt that St Helens achievement in winning so many GFs consecutively something really special in our game.

They have the speed, power, intensity, physicality that England must display if we are to beat teams like Australia.

That does not mean to say I must like St Helens, though.

The "Dark Ages" is a term referring to life at the RFL under the new regime. It's characterized by a decline in openness, professionalism, transparency and  achievements,

Leeds just look a bit lost when close to the Saints line. They're just a bit too frantic.

What was the ankle twist by Austin, I don't remember seeing it but just got a message of a mate to say he was lucky to get away with it.

On Lomax in the first half. Wasn’t seen by the Match Officials & not replayed by Sky

James Roby seems to be absolutely everywhere, his fitness levels at his age are an absolute joke.

Easily still the best English hooker. If only he'd change his mind about the World Cup.

Especially when you think back to him almost having to pack in due to injuries. 

That's a great kick, easy to hit it too hard in that situation in a final.

What about the crossing before he kicked it?

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

That's probably the game.

Better get on with counting the empty seats.

He intentionally lifted the player off the ground.

4 in a row, and multiple LLSs. And that’s with a fair amount of injuries this year. Coming into the season I couldn’t see any reason to think we’d see new champions before 2024, and that’s certainly the way it’s looking. Great for Saints, worrying times for non Saints fans.

Can you run right round your own man then take an advantage ?

Salford had a try disallowed for that last week. Would have put us in front. All depends which team is doing the obstruction.

I feel like if the Leeds players had thrown their arms up it would have been spotted. 

Hardaker has had a class game for Leeds, and Bentley has stood up again. Sutcliffe has had the ball in space a few times and Saints are happy to watch him as he is ######.

Liam Moore has been on screen a lot.  I am sure he is pleased he got a fresh wax especially for the big game.

No he did not, he tackled him around the hip area and the attacking players momentum provided the lifting force, simple physics.
