Absolutely buzzing for Leigh, made up for Lammy.

Must be a dream for their fans.

Obviously want us to get to Wembley and win but wouldn’t be too disappointed if we didn’t if it meant Leigh winning.

Just so fresh and great for the sport IMO.

Where’s my leopard print?!

Paasi out for 9 months Walmsley gone for the season.

Awful news for Saints.

Wishing them both a speedy recovery.

Paul Wellens has weighed in heavily against the RFL for not protecting his players and, for once, I agree with him. He also claims that two other players have suffered injuries because of the same tackle technique by Asiata. Let’s hope when we play them this weekend we don’t get a repeat!

They are two cruel blows for Saints. The game can never be risk free and we have to be careful that everything isn’t a ban but I’m surprised more has not come of the incidents. Fingers crossed the two players make full recoveries.

Wouldn't wish that on anyone, massive blow for Saints, you'd imagine Catalans are red hot favourites now for the GF

Dreadful that, 2 players I enjoy watching. Maybe we could see Walmsley in the playoffs.

Terrible that and a massive blow for both the players themselves and the club. I thought the Paasi tackle looked really dodgy when I saw it (I didn't see the Walmsley one) and was surprised when more wasn't made of it. I've a lot of time for Leigh at the moment but they need to get right on top of this straight away. 2 season ending injuries in one game from a single player is not a good look.

Wishing both players a full and speedy recovery.

Does anyone think for one minute that Asiata will risk himself a serious head injury just to tackle an opponent around the legs?
