[shrewsbury roughyed]

Looking forward to the thread moaning about this music

If that game was shown to a man whose been locked in an empty room all his life, he'd say this sport couldn't be beaten! 

Incredible

I love watching Yates, just a machine that hits way above his weight. The kind of played you love playing alongside.

Yeah, in my mind he is on a similar level to a homegrown London player, as we brought him over here for our SL season in 2019 and he has flourished ever since in this country.

Always love seeing him do well.

Great finish to a great game . And fitting the best player iced the key moment . I wanted Wire to win as well so pleased for them

There is a Saints fan on this forum who slags off their performances these days, clearly blaming Welles for his poor tactics.

I was interested to see his win/loss record almost matches Craig Bellamy!

Someone mentioned about other teams fans being fickle earlier as well ...

Best game of RL this weekend from either side of the hemisphere.

[Fly-By-TheWire]

Meh. Not a bad game for the neutrals, but Warrington can’t play this sloppy against the top teams

Bring on KR.

Williams unbelievably good.

Definitely the main difference tonight. He was brilliant tonight.

[Dave T]

George Williams and Matt Dufty are different levels. And they both get a lot of stick. 

 

[Fly-By-TheWire]

Good old Bateman with some good situational awareness there

God. Don’t know what to say. Amazing game. Amazing effort from both teams, particularly us as we’ve awful all year. But so frustrating still. We threw it away. Gifted 4 tries. And then imploded in golden point!! Arrrrggggghhhhhh…

Great game. Well done Warrington. FFS. Superb game. 

[M j M]

Well done Wire, that was ridiculously tense.

Safe to book tickets in the Hull KR/Wire end at OT now

Great entertainment, but going straight to Golden Point doesn't seem a good way to do it in a Play-Off game. It should be two periods of five or ten minutes, with GP after that.

Congrats to Warrington though. They have been the better of the two sides in 2024.

Great advert for the game live on a Saturday evening on BBC2, shame there isn't more content after the game.

[ATLANTISMAN]

Fantastic stuff 

Craven Park will be buzzing next week.

Brill to see that FINALLY there is a buzz around the play offs.

I’ve read so many comments on Facebook etc. claiming our game is boring, dead and not as good as x number of years ago. Our game is not dead or boring and congratulations to both teams for 80 minutes of great entertainment. If that can’t sell rugby league, nothing can.

[Futtocks]

If there's anyone who says that match wasn't exciting, brutal and competitive, we can pretty much ignore their opinions on everything else too.

[Dave T]

This post match stuff is outstanding. Captures the atmosphere, the passion, and players who've just made 40+ tackles are doing intelligent interviews. And Bateman is there too

[Tommygilf]

Warrington deserved that

Yes, good stuff by Sky. The passion really comes through.

Great to see Burgess with his players and having time for all the children out on the field. The guy is great for the sport.

That's a really niche marketing campaign.

But hey, it's worth a try.
