Thread drift but pleased to see Catalan win that one.

Think Saints have better players but are under doing the football.

They've become a really horrible team to watch.
The laying on at the ptb is incredible.
Not sure how they get away with it so much.
Ironic that the most ridiculous one I've ever seen, where Lees got binned, has cost them the game.

I said same thing watching it. Not sure what Kendall was watching at PTB.
The amount of laying on and players not clearing the ruck but lying round the dummy half was unreal.

Last week watched Hull KR are not square the whole game. The ruck is a shambles

The ruck has been a mess for a few years.
That whole wrestling thing that the aussie coach started at Wigan was when it got bad.

Hopefully next season the PTB is the heavily policed area they choose at random

Maybe RS has a point on the ruck. It was an absolute disgrace tonight. Alex "two step" Walmsley on fine form as usual too. Perhaps the RFL will wake-up for next season.

Tomkins annoys the life out of me and always has, but after his career that was a fitting way to reach a final.

on another drift we've had former Halifax player turned comic lee Robert's here tonight. brilliant.
razor ruddock up next....

Pleased for tomkins



As for saints they were awful to watch, the ruck was a shambles, glad they finally got punished for it.

Saints might find themselves out of the top games gor a couple of years, Roby retired, makinson, percival and walmsley getting older and less effective, also I don’t rate Dodd and Lomax is slso getting older. They won’t balls the transition up like we did but it will still affect them

Has RedVee gone into meltdown mode yet?

Cats are losing some quality next year too although bringing some in with the likes of Sims.

Wigan do look solid but to be honest it must be Leeds that make the most progress from this season to next with the changes in squad - sounds like we haven’t finished either.

Yeah Cats are going to be a totally different side next year.
