I thought in the 2nd half the kicking to touch was the wrong option and it was a relief for us. If you had of kept putting high balls up towards Barba and Grace then you would of probably beaten us. The best team lost tonight. Still given the past few years of struggle it's quite a fast and free scoring team you have there and to be in contention for the playoffs is to be applauded.

At 78 minutes we're winning 16-12 and Saints are flapping on the last tackle like headless chickens. Nothing we did before that time can be classed as negative because the games in the bloody bag!

Step forward Scott Grix.

I thought you were desperately unlucky. If Finns kick goes either side of the post you win the game. Instead it hits the post and Saints get the ball back and win the game. Yeah fair enough Grix didn't help.

I feel sick to the stomach... that is the top 4 gone when we were so so close 30 secs away!!!!!!

so so negative in the second half giving them field position by kicking out on 30 m line and 2 fifth tackle flukey tries but because they were finishing their sets 20 m out from our line because of our negativity they were close enough to score.....

and what the hell was GRIX doing!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps fifta looks like he has swallowed 2 more sheep and is offering nothing - where was Randall tonight?

the start of the downward spiral - no stadium, no wakey in super league , was that our last chance ever to win something? GONE CAUSE OF OUR STUPID PLAY.

Go back to bed knobby were still in the top 4

Re: St Helens at home Thursday 7th Sept : Thu Sep 07, 2017 10:55 pm  

People are being too harsh on Grix. I was in perfect line in the East Stand and the ball cruelly curved away from his run. It is what Rugby balls do!!! Make you look a mug. Bad luck. If I wanted to be picky, 2 bad penalty decisions. The kick to touch tactic...I am 50/50 on. Certainly the right thing during the harsh sin binning but maybe we overplayed it a bit and almost didn't believe we were good enough to win by scoring again. But overall...bloody harsh luck and please, please leave Scott Grix alone on this one. It is very unfair. ALSO...WE ARE STILL IN THIS!

Grix coward for not diving on that ball twice hes been a coward all season passing ball all time every time he catches it

Utter utter drivel. All this stuff...people should hang their heads in shame after the season we've had. I might have rested Grix once or twice this year and given Max a go but overall Grix has been one of the reasons we have done so well and he was damn unlucky the way the ball curved away from him at the end...and many had the chance to stop that play before it got that far, and failed. Get a grip everyone...and...again... we are still in this. If Hull beat Wigan tomorrow it is back in our hands. I hope the team have more bottle and brains than some of the daft folk on here

We win our last two games and we finish in the top 4 regardless of what any other team does.
