General enquiry
Did Jon Wilkin previously play for St Helens???

It shows that no team can keep that up all game though.

Roby was spot on at half time. Saints show some more patience and they’ll score more.

Absolutely, Rovers (apologies, to other clubs called Rover's i'm on about HKR) have played Fax in the Shitehawk Eights and it's never been easy and we won games that we shouldn't have and the games Fax won were fully deserved.

The Championship deserves so much more support than it gets.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Sky are going to show a load of championship games at the back end of the season? Looking forward to it

Quite agree Fax defended brilliantly but never looked like scoring, good game for the neutral supporter much better than a 50+ hammering. Saints just did a job knowing there are bigger games on the horizon.

You could clearly see that St Helen's were holding back. It could easily have been 27-2 if they'd been trying.

Re: St Helens v Halifax : Sat Jul 27, 2019 6:13 pm  

Fax played well for each other to the last miniute. The gap is closing between the better of the championship sides and to super league clubs. It was a one off game but you wonder should fax be full time and have some money to bring in a few as well they could have pushed they had the right game plan but saints fitness and strength got them over the post.

I don't buy they were holding back Halifax t the start were fit enough to execute the game plan towards the end it was just one step too far. Saints smartened up once they realised it was not going to be an easy game.

Was urging them to score a try just to make their fans days, they had a real dig and Saints certainly didn't have an easy afternoon, in fact the scoreline flattered them a little bit in the end.

I was thinking the same myself. Maybe they are a sleeping giant. Used to love my trips to thrum hall. Maybe if I came into a bit of money I would invest in Halifax. No point in St Helens as they already have the richest investors is SL with Mike Coleman, but it would be ace to give Halifax a load of money and see what they could do
