Praise: Keeping Saints below 50, the crowd, the players walking round at the end and applauding the crowd. Performances from Ashton, Dallas, Higham and Godwin
Grumble: Kirkpatrick, and a few Wigan fans leaving before the end, and not applauding the players.

Yeah, but I don't mind incompetent refs that much, as long as they're equally incompetent for both sides, which I feel KK was today (for once...).

Couldn't be there today, but watched on Sky, apart fron Stevo's bias (nothing new there, why does he not just wear the shirt and admit it?) the coverage of the Wigan fans was good. Several times Dave Hadfield mentioned that the Wigan fans were out-singing the scousers, Eddie mentioned that the Wigan fans were all staying to the end with "no sign of the Wigan walk.", pretty good really. No mention of any protest, was there any sign of one at the game?

Not that I noticed.
Did see Noble there though - was that shown on TV?

Don't think so, but I was drinking strong cider, which is never a great aid to the memory, especially at dinner time.

I've just watched the tape of today’s clash now, and I am going to change my mind about some people, in the praise and grumble columns
Praise: Keeping Saints below 50, the crowd, the players walking round at the end and applauding the crowd. Performances from Ashton, Higham and Godwin
Grumble: Kirkpatrick, and a few Wigan fans leaving before the end, and not applauding the players and Dallas, one for knocking the ball on facing his own line, and then being penalised for lifting the legs late on. NOT Brett’s best game today by his or the Wigan fans standards.

Now, that WAS funny!
And they kept repeating it on the big screen, which was even funnier!

Everyone's attendances would suffer if we did go down! Said on TV that's the first time KR's been sold out in SL
