What a game that was.

Absolutely outstanding.
So chuffed for the Saints fans.

Loving the Aussie commentators reactions.

Not even the mighty Penrith can stop the Saints in there own back yard?????????

Well done St Helens,fully deserved and a big plus for Super League.

Didnt notice as Gould said Penrith to declare by the second half or did they wait until extra time ?

Great win for saints, really pleased for Roby and wellens as they have played a few and lost a few. As for the opening post, yes saints can and will be beaten.


Sport is cyclical and as a saints fan we need to enjoy these ups as the downs last longer

You obviously underage the world champions.

No, I don`t underage the World Champions.

Big challenge for the rest of Superleague to raise their standard now. Saints have come away from the game relatively injury free and the squad depth is as strong as ever. That warm weather training for a couple of weeks in OZ has made them well conditioned and superfit, I get the feeling Saints might not take much interest in challenging for the LLS and go for a Big Five achievement instead.

A reasonable reciprocal arrangement.

Saints will legit probably win 10 on the trot.

It's a shame dwindling numbers will witness it. Interest is waning.

Hasn't there been record attendances for the first round? And the addition of games on terrestrial TV will only help build interest.

Another 6 to go.

Attendance numbers for this weekend suggests that you are ing in the wind.

Grand final attendances are going down, that’s what I meant. By witnessed, I meant it literally, people at the ground when it happens.

I see what you mean. They have dropped in recent years.

Is it down to interest waning, or external factors such as increased cost of living and a recession? Attendances dropped around 2008 when personal finances had to be tightened in a similar way, but then increased again when the recession ended. Afterall, a final day is an expensive day out for most people.

I believe there was record TV viewing figures for the playoffs and the Grand Final last year which seems to suggest that the interest is still there.

Its a very good observation, add to that a global pandemic which put the breaks in people mixing and breaks habits like final attendance. If you look at the drop off in demand across a range of services (eg cinema attendance) I imagine the patterns are similar.

After last night it’s obvious that St Helens will be stopped. It’s clear to see that the refs have been told to make sure Warrington win at all costs

Nothing to do with Salfords discipline that led to 2 8 point tries being awarded?

It definitely looked like discipline and fitness was the reason for the final score to me. Although Smith continued his tradition of making some questionable decisions, he definitely didn't lose Salford the game.

Remember when I said Leeds only ever bring a minibus to St Helens despite their fans saying they were the best supported team in super league? Only to be called a troll by said Leeds fans?…….lol

Just like last season. Refs have been told to sin bin St Helens players whenever possible. No wonder no one cares about rugby league in this country because it’s laughable

What the actual ????? Shoulder charge but Welsby gets penalised? Told you. The refs have been paid

After the referees display last night and tonight, it’s obvious the referees have been told to make sure St Helens don’t win SL.

Utterly embarassing for rugby league league in this country

Seems what was said to be the worst Leeds squad in a decade can......very well played by Leeds and a good performance from the officials
