[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Saints by 12, Huddersfield are starting to get their act together, albeit 15 rounds too late.

[Ant]

Easy giants win

[daz39]

Tough ask but can't see us pulling this off, we are playing with a lot more confidence these days but i think Saints will still be too strong for us.

[Josef K]

I expect a Saints win by around 20pts, but more importantly i am really looking forward to seeing Flanagan play the lad looks something special.

feeling like a giants win may be in the cards. i have no reason why i think this,  just feel like maybe today's the day for some surprises

[Futtocks]

Ray French will have a tribute film shown on BBC2 during half time.

[Futtocks]

Nice touch for VJ Day, bringing out shirts with the names of each club's WW2 casualties.

yes very nice tribute done well

[Futtocks]

Welsby starting on the bench. Interesting to see when he comes on, for who, and how he goes.

[Old Frightful]

Walmsley was penalised then…have the rules changed?

I wouldn’t have any sort of wager based on this if I were you.

[graveyard johnny]

where have the BBC positioned the microphones to pick up the crowd noise and atmosphere?  in an empty field near Widnes?

Flanagan looking lost in defence.

[Old Frightful]

Oh Leroy…

[Ullman]

What happened there? Cudjoe just stopped.

Tanya calling the commentators "The Chuckle Brothers" is a great sign of how serious the sport is being taken by them.

which is the dead one?

[Old Frightful]

Can’t see Hudds making much of an impression on the Saints’ line without a leg up from a penalty or an error.

Barry.

[dkw]

Well that was incredibly dumb.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Come on Saints punch it in now

[Ant]

Thane Milne pulled down in the tackle, ends up sin binned

 

Totally top notch reffing.
