That’s the worst semi final I’ve ever seen.

Saints and Cats should hang their heads in shame! Seen better kick and clap games to be fair.

Not recently presumably. That world cup has been going on for months and they are still at the 60-70 point thrashings stage.

Defences totally on top. Nothing between the teams. Tough rugby.
I'm thinking Wigan might just have that extra bit of creativity to unlock Cats defence.

and yet... his career just got ended by sam tomkins.

maybe RL isn't dead after all.

That was a great watch, Saints effectively undone by their own indiscipline once again, a fitting end to their season. Couldn't believe JJB trying to say Saints are magnanimous in victory or defeat, doesn't he recall 2019!? Irked me to hear Barrie trying to say Saints ruck meddling caused Catalans knock ons, just come out and call it what it is, ridiculous that bill arthur tried to say it was just bad handling, scared of committing and taking a side. Call out cheating whoever does it!

Best comment all night, there is lots we have not liked about Saints over the years but you never heard his name mentioned in any of that. Class player class person.

To play for THAT club for that length of time and to cause us countless heartaches himself AND still be respected and liked by (I imagine) all Wire/opposition fans takes some doing.

Poor quality, mistake ridden but most games of this importance tend to be similar. Looked one game too many for Saints' Dads Army pack.
Catalan deserved it and hope they win next week.

Respected, yes. Liked, certainly not!
