How about Yates' swinging arm and direct contact to the head of Farrell? What about the professional foul at the end of the first half? Or was it only a Wigan player that should have been sin binned? Go figure...

Gutted for my team- they really didn’t deserve to be on the losing side today as I felt they were the better side overall. I hope the wigan lads felt just a tiny bit embarrassed when lifting that cup- But well done. Let’s hope we can get our revenge in the grand final!

Embarrassed? Yeah i bet they are beside themselves with grief today. They gifted your team numerous chances whilst you played virtually no error rugby and still LOST. You played well yes but your name isn't on the roll of honour for 2022. Liverpool played well last night too but guess what, they are also-rans too. Better luck next year.

Should’ve hung fire with the Lance Todd Trophy, Harry Smith take a bow

He was outstanding yesterday. I called him out as i had thought he had enough chances to have earned his spot and blown them. He has shoved my comments down my throat with aplomb. He has all of a sudden become a big game player and put Cust to shame yesterday. Cust had an off day but Smith carried him. Brilliant performance.

Jiffy said at the end "Smith nailed on for the Lance Todd". Maybe it's time to leave the voting until the whole match has actually finished?

He wasn't though was he. Offers so much more than your Welsh convert who you laud as some sort of Corey Parker. Keep a tight hold of that crown Mr Saint, it seems to be slipping. Im sure Dwyer for Roby next season will prop you back up though and the new contract for Matty (Tom Burgess) Lees who Redvee sem to think is one of the best props in the league. I don't see him make any metres and drops the ball a lot. Just a big lump. Big contract too apparently. Two words ......... Greg Richards

I've expressed plenty of doubt about Smith in the past, based on his ratio of successful plays to errors. All halves get it wrong sometimes, and nothing ventured, nothing gained. But the bad stuff needs to be few and far between. He's really come on this year under Peet, though. Like many, I'll reserve judgement until I've watched the game back on TV, but he was there for the big plays that mattered, and really won the game for us.

Under Peet or under Briers?

Your lot are the masters at the professional foul.

Another to add to the list of things we are masters at. Like winning the cup.

Well I backed Smith for Lance Todd so I agree it should have been picked at the end

So did I at 20/1 for a tenner - thought he deserved it.

Had Leutele for first try at 18/1 so had a good day.
