Are they actually disputing that was forward? me.

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.

High quality game? Not sure about that. Thought it made for decent entertainment though, Huddersfield looking to play rugby against Saints who are the masters of slowing the play the ball down made for a decent watch.

Exceptional defensive performance by Saints. Incredibly clunky in attack. But superb in defence.

Commiserations to Huddersfield. Thought they were really good and contributed to an excellent game. With Connor coming back, I have no doubt they’ll improve in attack.

Leeds showed the sort of rugby to beat Saints with. Huddersfield's meat and two veg stuff isn't it.

Superb win at a very good side. The defensive effort was exceptional, even more so when you consider they’ve just done that with sixteen players. 

Sironen and Lees have put in some serious shifts to get that two points. 

I’m not on board with this Sky nonsense that Huddersfield are somehow hard done by or the better side. They may well have had more of the ball but they didn’t do much with it and didn’t really threaten, with a lot of repeat sets at the hands of Saints errors. I thought both sets of halves were quite poor, Lomax aside, and neither created any sort of platform to build upon.

Tommy you are of the age that has invented these people called 'Influencers' would I be correct in saying that Jon Wilkin has influenced me, to not turning on the TV when Saints are playing and he is in commentary.

That should read Saints attempts at cheating, you dont get a reset for an error.

Haha not quite Harry, but sadly his comments are influencing several poor comments!

Well, yeah, giving away six agains are errors though but yeah, Saints run the game and all the referees love us.

Huddersfield has loads of good ball but they couldn’t use it. Good pack but directionless in attack, very poor. 

Yeah...curious statistics for them about the tries per PTB in oppo's 20m continues 

I thought Jake would give them some more ideas but apparently not

There’s no structure there, no moves, no deception. Not good enough any Super League side, let alone a fancied one.

It’s interesting that Wilkin and Brown, both retired in the last 4-5 years, see late hits very differently to McDermott, O’Connor and Clarke, retired approximately 20+ years ago.

Someone elsewhere has suggested we need to use a warning for all content that..... 'May contain Wilkin'

Has anyone on Sky watched Rugby League, more specifically Saints, since the six again rule come into place? It’s actually mental that they’re wetting themselves about Saints openly giving away six agains and Clarke claiming it’s “cheating” is ridiculous.

Yep it's curious how well they can get into position but then do nothing ....maybe taking those succession of twos last game was a good idea after all!

It is cheating, that’s why the opposition get 6 again.

it’s no different to giving a penalty away rather than let the opposition gain an advantage or “taking one for the team”

It’s not, though. To vociferously claim “cheating” is wrong and not a word used in the vocabulary at almost any juncture of a game and the penalising of any teams.

But hey, it’s only taken Silly Philly three years to work out what Saints do in defence. I look forward to his thoughts on the 2023 season in 2026.
