Very odd game really. Saints were barely trying. If ever a game showed a team going through the motions that was it. It was 2-2 for a while and it was definitely a game you could have won if you'd been more up for it. There were individuals putting in a stint, but none of the team effort I'd normally associate with Wakefield. There were a few times where things happened in the game, for example Fifita having his hair pulled and going mad, that would normally fire Wakefield up and you'd raise the intensity, but it dropped instantly.
It was like Saints were going through the motions because we've got the Cup final coming up and we're miles clear on top, but Wakefield were also going through the motions as you had written the game off as unwinnable and were holding back for more winnable games. I can kind of understand that, but with Coote, Grace, Lomax, Walmsley and Knowles rested, no atmosphere at all in the ground and Saints clearly distracted, a more focused effort might have got you a win.
