Have to say what a performance by all the players today 44-0 against any team is a great result but against a full time squad and potentially super league was outstanding and how they must be embarrassed. The attack was clearly fantastic but the fact we nilled them is brilliant. No doubt folk will say Saints were not much cop but that was because we played so well. Blackpool will be harder but if we play with the same intensity wf will win comfortably.

imagine the score if we'd played for 80 mins?!! very annoyed about that,what an absolute farce that was but on a positive end the lads look really sharp.

Wow, thats amazing, even if granted, it was only an U-20 side, but they are a SL side, so you would expect them still to be decent at least! Sounds like a great performance!

When I saw the size of St Helens warming up and the shape they looked to be in I feared we were in for a very long hard game. They were not given the chance to play as Cougars kept the ball. When Saints had the ball they panicked and made daft errors. Our defence put a lot of presure on their attack. Cougars hard work in the gym is showing. Top effort, Well done.

Big well done to you guys as you played some fantastic rugby. Thought I would watch the Saints much heralded academy but saw a great performance from the Cougars. St Helens were quite frankly outclassed and this showed as they became ill disciplined, openly swore & showed dissent to the referee. In particular their no 9 who was a disgrace to the game as he shouted for a number where I was standing to hear, "He didn't even give us a f###king penalty for that"

I thought RL was a family game!

Fitness levels are very hard to judge, when we only played 30 mins each way.

Lets see what the team looks like, after having Halifax big forwards running at them for 75 mins.

Anyone reading to much into the game and expecting big things, might well be in for a shock this season.

Very true.
It was a good performance, no doubting that. But it was against a team of under 20. At times it looked like men against boys.

Sadly i wont be at Blackpool. So give the lads a cheer for me.

Dissent to the ref. Must be something they bring through the ranks at St Helens. I seem to remember Wilkin, Graham and 2 others surrounding the ref in a game a couple of years back.
