The game changer was Luke Walsh not kicking on 5th and us turning the ball over, then giving a pen away which leads to a try.

Instead of Warrington bringing the ball back out of their own 20 meter zone, they was in ours.

The whole momentum of the game changed when Walsh failed to kick and put us under pressure.

Crazy thing is, we was kicking all night on 3rd and 4th tackle but tried to run it on 5th!

Yes the video ref probably got the call wrong and Lineham probably didn't score but let's not use that as a excuse as our attack was utter rubbish again. One up rugby again and kicking all the time. It's like watching union.

The end of the day, it was our boring no thrills one up rugby that cost us.

The nightmare is it doesn't look like changing anytime soon. With Walsh gone it has every chance of getting worse.

We've struggled in the halves for about 5 years at this club. We need two settled halves that have the right balance.

We thought Walsh was the answer but his horrific injury put that to bed as we wouid all agree, he's never been the same since.

Travis Burns looked like the final piece in the puzzle but that didn't work either as him and Walsh didn't have the right balance we thought it would. I think Burns lost that yard of pace in his first pre season with us and that killed him.

We've had make shift halves for far to long. We've had Wilkin, Wello, Flanagan, fages, Turner, Walsh etc over the last few years.

Imo our pack is decent and Douglas will add to a good set of props with amor, Walmsley, Thompson and Richards as back up. We defo lack backrow.

They know they didn't get a clean kill last night, hence the idiotic trolling and somehow trying to justify awful decisions. Whether they like it or not, the whole rugby league community knows that wasn't right last night. It's frustrating that instead of everyone talking about a great Warrington performance, they're talking about how it was incompetent officiating that has got them a place in the final.

Troll all you like. If you can win next week, you might just overtake Widnes as the most successful club in Cheshire.

your bleating just makes it all the sweeter. Carry on cockle.

61 years mate. No wonder you lot come on here gloating. Not had that much to shout about in your time.

I don't see the link between Warrington and the referee's performance. The ref was incredibly bad, making several crucial decisions and getting them all wrong. This was then compounded by the video referee making another mistake. But none of that is Warrington's fault and I personally hope they win the final. I don't want to see Benny Flower parading round OT, with the muppets on Sky proclaiming some heroic redemption story.

Correct. I don't have a problem with Warrington like a lot of other Saints fans seem to have.

Nobody blamed Warrington. People blamed the officials, and when we all calmed down a bit, we blamed our negative, grind the opposition down tactics.

What's happened on this board is a load of opposition fans gloating and a few of us (I put myself in that bracket) giving it right back. That's what happens on forums, in the stands, in pub, in work etc.

As a neutral who dislikes both clubs, I think defence will win the day and Wigan will snuff them out on Sat.
