Much more relaxing watching the Trinity TV repeat.

One big hit by Lyne on Zeb Taia had Taia playing the old rubbing of the neck trick. Must've forgot it wasn't a televised game.

It was a shame that the early track back tackle by BJB on Richardson didn't prevent that early score.

The track back probably would have saved a try if the ref hadn't lost count of the tackles. It was the sixth but he neither called nor signalled. If he had done there is every chance Saints would have kicked rather than run the ball at that stage.

Cracking two points, thoroughly deserved! A great team effort with a couple of stand out performers!

Interesting that Saints have done a highlights video yet showed nothing that went their way? At the game I thought the Randell challenge and yellow card could have been a penalty try but definitely wasn’t as it was further out than I thought...don’t think there was any malice either just badly timed...Percival tried milking that penalty too, looked far less in it than I thought at the game...should have been a red card in fact for foul and abusive language towards an official...

The Miller one where he tackled the player without the ball was very marginal too and there was plenty of cover so again just a penalty correct...don’t know what Saints have to moan about? Saying that though we can moan about refs with the best of them!

Very deserved two points in my eyes, best team won no doubt about it!

I have always liked Saints and if I were to have a second team then they would be it and have always found their fans to be very amiable but on Sunday I couldn't believe how much whingeing and whining they were doing...they never stopped for the whole 80 minutes !!.
Our eldest daughter's boyfriend ( a Salford and Wakey fan) had some Saints friends at the game and went to stand with them on the Western terrace in the first half and when he came back for the second half, he said he couldn't believe how much whingeing the Saints fans were doing as it was totally unjustified

Couldn’t catch the game as I’m in Spain but I watched it back on the highlights... it’s obviously filmed just above the away fans and you can hear everything, this changed my opinion a little bit but then I thought; every club has negative fans I.e. BOJ042 haha

Oddly I felt even more tense watching it again even though I knew the result! It was weird tbh but I couldn't shake the feeling we were going to lose it in the last minute.

I felt exactly the same. At times it felt like the clock was going backwards.

This was a great win and could set us up for a good run.

Saying that, it's a bit like breaking serve in a tennis match. The coaches always say that you haven't broken serve until you win your own on the next game.
We need to beat Salford to make sure we feel the benefit.

Tbf as a Wakefield fan who often stands in the North Stand I often think the same about our set of supporters.

Re: Saints at home : Tue Apr 17, 2018 11:30 pm  

I thought I was in the old Leeds south stand with the number of shouts of forward pass, which sadly were from Wakefield supporters. I guess they worked on the principal that if you shout it for every pass you are going to be correct some of the time.
It does get a little tedious and not something I have come across so much in the east stand, because the majority of us are too old to see that far.
