As a Saints fan, I found it shambolic. Some of the basic errors and play tonight particularly from Saints was completely embarrassing. If that's what you find entertaining, fair enough but for me it was a poor standard of RL.

Saints were 1.01(1-100) on betfair

Entertaining from a certain perspective - changes of momentum, lots of tries, 9 minutes of champagne rugby from Saints... and a nailbiting finish. Memorable, certainly.

The skill level on show may not have been the highest... Have we really seen a truly classy game in SL this year? The best displays in terms of quality have come from Manly and Saints in the cup IMO (but that might be deceptive since they both only beat Leeds who seem to be getting found out ).

Nobody said anything about the standard
Fantastic entertainment though.
I can see how your allegiance will cloud your judgement.

We seem to have lost that ability to fight back when really needed, like we've been known for.

Also, Long needs dropping, fast. Rabbits and headlights come to mind.

It was strange watching it really, in those last five minutes I didn't expect you to score, even bearing in mind how bad we've been this season, and even defensively at times tonight. There were too many basic errors and mistakes in your play for me to be concerned.

In years gone by I'd have taken it as a given that you'd get a winner.

I don't see how you can't call tonight's game great entertainment. I've seen sporting contests at the low skills levels that have still been great entertainment e.g. mateur boxing, City v Gillingham, NL Playoff Finals, rugby union, darts. Sport has always been and always will be primarily about entertainment. Nobody remembers how Tyson beat Tyrell Biggs because it was rubbish. Everyone remembers how Jack Dempsey beat the original 'Wild Bull Of The Pampas' Luis Firpo. I can hardly remember some FA Cup Finals yet I fondly remember the Clive Mendonca playoff final.

If tonight's game had been 12-13 and had the same kind of error levels I would imagine it was probably a dour game. Tonight's game had some big changes in lead, great tries, big hits, powerful runs, video ref controversy and a momentous last twenty. If that's not entertainment then even The Jam's song won't make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

Nobody could put it any better than that.

The reason that it was good entertainment was because there was some poor defence. The two tries that Saints scored from the kick off in quick succession in the first half should have been have been prevented and there was the Burgess try where Graham let go of him. There is simply no way that Saints should have blown a 26-10 lead against a struggling team that had lost as heavily as it did last week.

Saints looked slow tonight, but fair play to the Bulls, great result for them, and the relief on Macs face at the end was a picture.
