I can imagine that the Mata'utia brother’s mum locks the good China away when they visit.

[Just Browny]

Proud of that effort. Not had the quality, and I didn't think we did before the game, but go out with our heads held high after going toe to toe with a decent side.

No they're not, they've played their part in a very good game, albeit with more errors than you'd usually expect.

Yes they are , how they are only 8 down in this game God only knows , and as much as Saints are great with the ball , they get away with so much it's unbelievable

how many times have the commentators said the word "penalty" this game - exactly the reason i dont like RU - pedantic technical rubbish

That's the fault of supporters, they demand that their team gets eery penalty they are entitled to, the RFL and refs listen and decide that's how the fans want it.

[graveyard johnny]

even gives ANOTHER penalty with 4 secs left!

[Futtocks]

Roby and LMS get to extend their careers by another week.

No , it's the players fault for giving them away

Jack Welsby is the best rugby league player in the world.

This, Saints new exactly what they were doing those last few mins. It's an effective way to break up any momentum and take time out the game, same with the first tackle holding down for 6 agains

missing persons report been filed for George Williams - all too frequent in big games

We saw much more of Williams than Drinkwater. the game was to physical for Drinkwater to get involved in, he is fine when his team is dominating.

I don't think you are following the conversation with GYJ close enough.

[binosh]

All I can say is I’m just thankful that Walmesley has recovered from his life threatening season ending 9 month recovery time injury.

catalans need to prepare for getting penalised to death next week

[Harry Stottle]

I'm really disappointed Saints won, I love to hear Wellens talking in defeat, oh well I will have to wait another week.

[NRLandSL]

@GUBRATS

why do you say that?

[JohnM]

Again, a thoroughly enjoyable game. Not as exciting as last nights since for me at least , it was clear Saints would win. apart from one score, Warrington spent more or less the whole match defending.

Not in any era would today's weather conditions have produced a fast flowing game: that totally wicked pitch is a bit of a bog and it rained throughout.

Yes, I can't remember a single referee from the 80's, they were so anonymous.

Shoulder to the head by Walmersley 

Very similar incident to the one that saw Shorrocks get a red earlier this season iirc.

It was never that he was down as a 12 week recovery that would’ve ended his season. Instead he’s back in 10/11 weeks
