As a netral I was amazed none of the Sky team questioned the GIdley try as grounded the ball short and then was held up over the line. yEt this was my commented on by anybody not even the so called expert Cummins. Then after consulting the video for 40/20's and other non-try scoring decisions, he takes the advice of the touch judge and ignores a knock on for one of the WIre tries. sUrely the time has come for all awarded tries to be automatically checked upstairs?

This is a good point - when they're assembling the scrum, the vid ref has a quick check and can overturn an in-play decision - there is no benefit of doubt system in place, its just a common sense option while there's time. When a try is scored, there is easily enough time between touch down and kick to check and get in touch with the mic.

That's exactly why tonight was tough to accept. We're so bloody awful, I can't believe we push you so hard, what a week era of Super League this is.

Come on the amount of success Saints have had in the modern era, you can't expect to be the best all the time and bound to have some off seasons. I agree the standard has dropped though. We are not a patch on our 2011 team.

You will forgive us for enjoying the rare, delightfully delicious, feeling as we beat you to reach a GF and silence the "Always our year" chants from your fans for at least one week.

If we lose, we are used to it. We won't be bleating like spoilt children and anyway can always spend the off season polishing our hub cap. I suppose you lot can polish your Cunningham statue.

If the ref had ref'd the ruck properly we'd have been out of sight as you got away with an unbelievable amount of flops, were not square about a dozen times to your benefit and some of your moving off the mark was something to behold, I think Walmsley (has he played football by the way because his play-acting is pathetic?) moved about three metres forward from the mark on one occasion - and weren't penalised for anywhere near what your spoiling tactics should have been.

Had these been pulled up I doubt anyone would be moaning about the Lineham/Peyroux incidents because the margin would have been far greater as we'd have had far more dangerous field position to strike

Seriously..it would have been a total travesty if Saints had got to the final...you're a very average team. Re-build needed. Bless Jon Wilkin..he does try.

We're Wires, we can take defeat on the chin like no other set of fans.

Does he? If he's still that poor when he is trying, God help him.

Deary me and how poor is Roby these days? He really should never kick the ball, that's his worst attribute.

You won the game and you're in the Grand Final, yet you're on here trying to wind Saints fans up. You've no class.

For the rest of the Warrington fans, enjoy next week. Hope it's an entertaining game for us neutrals.

Do you begrudge us a little bit of fun? The saints mob would have ribbed us mercilessly if we had "bottled it" again. Only banter amongst the rugby league family.
