I’ve been a huge critic of both George Williams and Sam Powell this season but I thought GW was superb tonight and Powell went well as well.

Best performance since Warrington at Magic IMO. Greenwood was another who was awesome tonight. His and GW link up was brilliant and seemed to cause so many problems for the Saints defence.

Our defence was brilliant as well throughout the game. It set the bar and put us on the front foot making Saints barely trouble us with the exception of that superb Makinson try at the end of the first half.

Credit where it’s due; all in all that was a superb display.

Brilliant win and well done to all the players and coaching staff, especially Waney.

Again, I’ve been a huge critic of SW but credit to the bloke, he set us up right and had us firing on most cylinders.

I can’t fault that performance at all, everyone played superb IMO

Best performance all year, possibly for a few years. Wonderful rugby - brutal defence and free flowing attack. Couldn't remember an unforced error bar the last 10 minutes. All the credit in the world to the team. Saints will be back but they looked a broken mess towards the end of the game.

Greenwood was exceptional.

I've been a massive critic of performance over the last few years of Wane, but that performance was superb.

If we play like that for the rest of the season we win the GF.

Let's hope we can.

Whatever people may say about Shaun Wane, it's clear that the players are right behind him, and that showed tonight in an excellent display. Just seeing Gilly score that try just a few yards in front of me was fantastic! Let's keep in going now!

It was a superb performance and overall a pretty decent game too. I thought once we held them out for the good spell they had in the middle of the first half we were in control of the game. It was really good to see some quality tries too.

I think for us it’s now really important to back that performance up with another next week and really kick on and challenge for the GF.

A superb team effort. For me though the biggest positive was the return of Lockers. He's still the man, and Saints have just been reminded of that yet again. Wouldn't swap him for Barba or anyone else in SL. What a player and captain.

Williams back to his best.

Even Oli Partington nailing Luke Thompson as soon as he came on the field

We were back to our physical imposing best, mixed in with some fluid attack.

The players seem to have sorted there heads out and our ready for the charge to Old Trafford.

The passion on show from the players when Gildart scored was something else.

Best performance in a long time, defence was superb, for most of the game and we actually looked like a team in attack. Escare looked a threat in broken play - Greenwood was excellent - I was very impressed that when he made a break he didn't panic and throw a bad pass he showed good decision making. All the forwards went well - some very strong hit ups, Navarrette made some good yards and I thought Hamlin looked busy and effective when he came on - looks like a good signing.

And to stop Saints collecting the LLS was the icing on the cake!

There wasn’t a player you could fault and you can just tell we’re on now and ready to have a real tilt at getting to and winning at Old Trafford.

He wasn’t our best player but I’ll pick out Sam Powell for real praise. He has struggled his backside of this season in the halves but back in his proper position he was superb. His mental toughness to bounce back from that tough patch is a credit to him.

We really did miss Sam Tomkins

, Fantastic performance from one and all, Best part of the night for me was the LMS No Try, Made even better due to LMS prancing around like an idiot

I just hope players like Hamlin and Navarrete keep their places once Tautai’s ban is over.

It'll be criminal if Tautai gets straight back in, not a patch on the props who played last night.
Is it just me or was the "finding your front asap" tactic binned last night in favour of trampling the opposition into the ground ?

No it's not just you. I thought that as well.
Also agree about Tautai.

Superb performance. It would be easy to pick out a few individuals for special mention; Greenwood's MOM performance, Powell showing that 9 is by far his best position or Lockers.. well, doing what Lockers does! However, that was a team performance pure and simple. Every player doing their job to the highest level. The same to the end of the season will have us crowned champions.

That result confirmed that on their day they can demolish anyone

Yet again due to work commitments I couldn't get to the game and a bit gutted I wasn't there for a fine performance and what sounded like a decent atmosphere.
I thought all of the players went well but Greenwood in particular stood out.
For the first time in a long time we played with intensity from the first minute and played some decent rugby.
Great to watch and I hope we can keep this up now for the next few weeks and that the props carry on playing like props.

If the NRL are really reducing the number of interchanges to six I could soon see them knocking for Gave Hamlin who can do long minutes at prop or 13.

Probably my highlight of the year tbh. The lad is a total and utter plank but in fairness to him it’s good to have some characters about.

What a moment though! A prop forward doing a jumping pirouette and finishing it off with a dab only for it to be ruled out.

I was very impressed with Hamlin, you have a good un there.

Cant fault that performance they do have that look about them, last seen in the run in to old Trafford 2016,we shall see if they keep it up.

Why did Gildart try to catch the ball? All he needed to do was let Makinson catch it and push him over the sideline.

It’s an easy game to play from the sideline isn’t it? In his post match interview Gildart said his intention was to knock it out of play which was probably the right thing to do. He was out jumped by Makinson who let’s face it, is very good in the air. It was great skill and sometimes you just have to tip your hat to it and say fair enough, well done!

Not seen any mention of the fact that we are now semi finalists as we are 11 points clear of 5th with 4 games to play. Simple really, win at least the last 2 games and we’re champions again!
