30 minutes behind but found something saint do that annoys me.

When the kick from warrington comes on the 5th saints players block any warrington player from competing. They dont attempt to get the ball its pure obstructing the attacking team.

Nothing likes teams trying to make the game boring.

This should be banned and only not penalised if the players are competing for the ball.

The refs are much stricter on escorting in the NRL than they are here. Rightly so. Defenders who change their line to obstruct attacking players coming through should be penalised.

And so the upset came,as it does so often in sport well done Wire.

So I wonder what will happen now?

Will saints or wire implode and not win again or will they both be at old Trafford ?

And under 63,000 for the final it’s time to wake up and move it,Wembley will never get to 70,000 unless Leeds are playing,let alone filling it,no excuses this season with trains etc,two huge clubs and that’s all they can muster it’s a poor show,the cost now is stopping the neutral from going down to it

I expect there was quite a few neutrals as if two clubs could muster 63k between them the sport would be alright 🤣

It needs to move anyway as after brexit people wont have as much spare cash.

Bbc article actually blames the ref.... there must be a saints fan on the team.

Sure the first one was a bad decision but the knock on try with Percival was correct.
