Ah, but we only made 50% more metres than Warrington so clearly their pack was on top!

Doing his best to talk up a moral win for Wire. Even said at the end that they had struck a psychological blow, severe lack of conviction on his face though. We had half a dozen or so missing they had 9, we beat them slightly more comfortably than we normally would perhaps, nothing gained on the Wire side, nothing to see here
I reckon they’ll get hammered at the pie dome next week as well.
Outstanding effort by Saints tonight. The young lads held their own.
Anyone else get the feeling Wire are flogging Hill? Almost 80 mins tonight and against Catalans. Plus if Clarke is to be believed, averaging over 50mins per game this season.
Had anyone mentioned Richardson’s goal kicking? Absolutely superb.
None of any of the reports matter as long as we are in front final whistle at Wembley. Then they will all be in our pockets. Wherever the best story lies, that’s where you will find them.
Good point re Richardson's kicking. Brilliant

Clarke did say that what's most impressive about our dominance this season is the fact that we've brought through so many youngsters.
The ability - and match preparedness - of our youngsters has enabled us to rotate senior players to keep them fresh (and recover from niggles) whilst still running away with the league.
We are in a great place. Just need to keep our heads, play to our ability, and we'll sweep the board.
To be honest I felt we could and should have won by more tonight, a few rotten kicks and some soft defence on the edges kept them in the game really. Didn’t really think they troubled us at all.
Suppose one slight area of concern is that they got us twice again tonight by giving it to Ratchford out the back and the wingers flying in. Even then though, when we’ve got our full side out I think we’ll defend that a lot better.
It was our youngsters who provide all the Comedy Gold moments.
1. Hill and Currie tried to smash Richardson and both came off worse.
2. Smith good hard tackle on Hill to make him lose the ball and went after Smith who just laughed at him.
3. This for me was the best Ben Murdock Masila breaks down the edge and Welsby attaches himself onto BMM's upper frame, then he realised he was too tired to get up off the floor to play the ball.
4 Bentley on Westwood after receiving Benny forearm he gets revenge with a hard tackle on the old Benny Westwood who loses the ball, Bentley pats him on the head as though he's an old dog.
