I can't think of a player who let us down - but special mentions to Jowitt, Pauli, Big Dave and Hampshire; and that pairing of him and Miller looked great - quick, sharp and very inventive. BJB a very worthy motm - he was absolute class for the full 80.

Most satisfying to see Mr Child hand out penalties for backchat - it seems clear now that they've been told to clamp down on it, and I fully support that initiative; love seeing Tomkins put in his place. Maybe the next directive could be to penalise SoL every time he a) tackles around the neck and b) when he cynically reefs the ball out? Great player, but as Dave pointed out pre-match, an absolute grub.

Good work from the North Stand with the Rectum songs - but I do wish you'd cut out the C word stuff - it's a bridge too far; that used to be a word that men would never say around women - what happened?! Or am I just old fashioned?

But in a way it was what the other players did that really mattered even if they didn't catch the eye as much.

TJ - had a relatively quiet game but suddenly pops up with a wonder try when it really mattered - one chance all game and as ever he rarely misses.

England - ran the ball in hard and relentlessly all the first half, not fancy but effective.

Hirst - probably the most pleasing for me because when he came on I didn't notice any difference, I didn't even notice him! He just got his head down and drove the ball in with exactly the same venom as England - he may be SL standard after all.

The above of course applies to them all to be honest.

People keep saying we have underachieved this season, well we haven't, what we've done until last night is fail to over-achieve and it's over over-achieving that wins you things and that includes teams like Saints and indeed Wigan.

We just need to carry on and dare to win.

They should know that Trinity could be hock for some of the stuff they are chanting, obviously no respect for their fellow fans, especially those with young kids and the image of the club, althouigh, just a few have previously demonstrated their inability to think of others.
I may be starting to sound like my old man but, keep it clean (ish) and light hearted and then EVERYONE can enjoy the game, not just the few who have had a little more drink than they can cope with
