Saints win Golden Point Thriller Against KR : Fri Sep 11, 2020 7:01 pm  

Saints win Golden Point Thriller Against KR Third took on tenth in the third game of round twelve at the Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens where the hosts looked for a return to the top of the table as they played a Hull KR side who knew a win would lift them ahead of a Salford Red Devils side who have a bye this weekend. The odds were well and truly on a Saints victory but there must have been a nagging doubt in the minds of their players and coaching staff after the Robins demolished the high flying Wigan Warriors last time out in the biggest shock since the restart. If KR could prevent any early momentum from the Champions then they'd fancy their chance of causing back to back upsets. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

A good effort. So near so far. Top against bottom but you typically see that the top sides just have that little something extra when it’s needed. I also think that Wigan took rovers lightly last week and paid the price.

That performance against anyone else would be suffice to win the game. Gutted and proud at the same time. Week on week improvements are there and we won’t have to play Saints again for a while...

great effort considering it was their home ground, the addition of 2 or 3 decent players would surely take us out lower reaches of superleague some good young prospects are beginning to hold their own ,hope we can keep it up

a bit dumb on the last play in golden point should have kicked deep,i think we would have won, instead a set restart conceded and that was that

maybe, but a marked improvement,, a nice change to go into any game knowing if you play something like you may win rather than knowing you will lose

100% correct. Abdull, as good as he is in fleeting patches, showed exactly why he will never be a top class SL player. Rather than go for glory he should have set up for the drop goal.

I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

It is a fragile and precious thing.
