Sounds like we have really give it a good dig today. Can’t fault them for that. We went close a few times and it could have been closer.

Fifita shown yellow for a shoulder. Ffs we need him for next few games! Hope it’s not a ban job.

What do you mean shown yellow for a shoulder?

Radio Leeds said it was a harsh call so who knows

Sounded like they had a real good go tonight and with a bit more luck could have had at least a couple more tries and there won't be many teams that restrict Saints to 4 points in the second half and 20 points overall...well done boys And the icing on the cake is that we are still above both Leeds and Cas https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/tables

Solid effort is that, especially keeping them to 1 try in the second half, really cracking effort.

Followed on Twitter whim watching Cas get turned over… that Saints team is getting plaudits all over…and it sounds like we gave them a dose of Trinity spirit… so we visited both grand finalists from last year and come away with credibility and kudos… we now need to take that into the next part of the season.

And build some winning mentality.

Excellent effort from every player tonight ! Shame we couldn’t finish off a couple of the great breaks in the 1st half . Great defence throughout and the score line flatters Saints I feel .

listen into the game gave some heart for the easier games to come, having seen the tries on sky I was frustrated again with Battye with the second try, you can't defend the line upright I didn't expect to win this game but boy do we make it hard for our selves

Leeds game has got potential victory written over it, now lets cut out the errors and just do the basics right

The sin bin for Fifita seemed to be for mouthing off to the powers that be rather than for the tackle. If it was for the tackle it wasn't the ref that gave it as he walked away from Fifita, then turned round and gave him a yellow.

I was really impressed with Wakey tonight I've got to say. Poaching seems to have something about him as a coach. You came with a gameplan to shift the ball through the halves and go wide early and it worked. You looked really lively and made several breaks. Our defense is outstanding but you really made them work. Which in turn led to our weakest attacking effort of the season as we looked laboured and slow with the ball and a few of them were visibly knackered.

Poaching came up with a gameplan that worked and he deserves credit for that. The other two teams we've faced, Catalans and Hull have tried to grub their way to keeping the score down, Wakefield chose to play rather than niggle and it was the hardest game we've had by a distance. With the score at 16-4 you were on top for quite a while. Had you scored at that point you'd have had a great chance.

I was bored by our attack so counted your fans. 204. One kid possibly counted twice as he was doing laps of the terrace. Decent noise.

Wait no … hang on… there can’t be the faint song of praise for the Trinity … several Saints fans have been generous in their praise for our team and the way we play… so thank you… seems we have a spark of something building…
