Great game. Both teams superb. More than worthy of the GF. If tonight's game is as good Morale in RL revitalised. Credit to both teams. Just shows what good coaching can do. Having watched Wigan for 60 years I just might become a Saints/Cas supporter qua fan
A word for Luke Gale as well. Might have secured his Man of Steel title last night. Had a great season, but to come back from having his appendix removed a few weeks ago and then to win the match like that - impressive.
What's also impressive is that it's got people talking about it here where I work (Leicester). Non-rugby fans commenting on the match, and Luke Gale. A good advertisement for the sport.

Understand what you are saying but lets be honest any kicker would look good behind that back.
They create a massive amount of time for Gale to work his magic.
Hardly saw him charged down once where as they were all over smith (who did a great job considering)
I am sure fozzieskem was on about goal kicks, not the drop goal. Saints outscored Cas 5 tries to 3 and if Percival had been as accurate as Gale with goal kicks there would have been no draw and no Gale golden point. Gale said he felt sorry for Percival after the match for this reason.
