Well, I was completely wrong. I thought we’d struggle if Wigan got away with slowing us down. Well, they did get away with it to a great extent and we still tore them a new one!
Well we’ve all been talking about Saints‘s big match temperament, but that was as good a half as I can remember seeing in a big game. We’ve kept it tight and fast, hit with purpose and kicked well. And our completion rate must be pretty high. Wigan’s only answer is to try to play round us, which has been effective once or twice but will also lead to errors. Let’s hope we can keep it up and give them some real demons to deal with.
One handling error in the first half after all the rain we had today is outstanding .
Unfortunately I can only listen on Wish, and to make it worse I can only get the Wigan commentary, but they are far better than our 2. T o make it even better, they are slating Wigan and absolutely drooling over Saints. I must admit they sound very fair. Great to hear them saying SO'L shouldné be on the pitch, too old too slow, their words. They also said they don't remember Wigan ever playing a team as good as us.
Very similar start to Wembley really. Scored two tries* early on then conceded a soft one against the run of play
Reacted much better this time though
*obviously the tries we scored at Wembley didn’t count for some yet unexplained reason
This is a masterclass in how to play wet weather knock out rugby. Greasy conditions if not raining, which it usually does at Old Trafford. Massive drives up the middle, players running in with real intent, simple last tackle options and no shovelling shit. It seems so simple but it’s destroying Wigan.
Fat wanker Clubb. Hadn't taken the ball up once and starts the grubby stuff

Absolutely fantastic performance Saints, well done! Hats off in every department.
Kicking game was on point, forwards absolutely smashed their lot up front. Thommo was absolutely huge, and Coote was as cool as a cucumber.
Forwards were immense but Coote hitting top form also means Lomax on top form, as he cant be the sole target for defences. An all round superb performance.
I don't think I've seen a team play as good as we did in the first half absolute first class
That was one hell of a performance , WOW , so strong so professional I am absoloutly gobsmacked , they certainly have learned from an earlier game , and deserve every amount of praise , that was the way to win a "semi final" , cant say enough , I once doubted them but the SAINTS TEAM , have answered all the questions = "bottle" ?? theyv'e got a wagon full.
What a performance, one win away from possibly our most satisfying Grand Final win after the sh*t we’ve had to listen to from rival fans (mainly Warrington).
Widnes fan here..... wow, well..... that was awesome. I just wish we put 50 on them. How did club not get sent off. That was awful. Well done saints to a man. Awesome... only player I thought was very quiet was grace. COYS
