Playoffs are much more tricky this year. Leeds and saints won't get it their own way.



If you don't go into the playoff with form you'll be looking over your shoulder.

In the play offs this year the top two don't play each other until the final (assuming they both get there). Both teams will get home advantage in their play off games

Eastmond was in the 19 and I assume only ruled out late on or he would have been kicking.

We did enough to win it, I.E Scored more tries, jsut didnt kick for shyt. All in all the job was almost done, just a bit of a fundamental flaw in the team choice with not having a kicker, or beliving we did have a kicker who would atleast pop ONE over... ah well

Well thats been the case througout the season. We are top of the league and we've been going up in 4's most of the time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Matt Gidley is not Jamie Lyon, he's not a goalkicking centre!



He has kicked about 6 goals in his career, all whilst at Saints.

Wello said he was goal kicker, and took the responsibility all night. Potter could have said "tell him not to kick anymore" but he respected wello's deciscion to go for it and let him do it for the full 80, only wello i think could have said "fek this, ere have a go gids".



I always found it bizzare that Pryce and Wilkin cant kick for goal, seems weird that they cant.

Well, the ref was firmly in Saints' pocket.



Which ultimately shows how well Wakefield played.



Cunningham - and Saints fans say he isn't a dirty player!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!!! There were injuries/illness affecting the top 3 goal kickers; Wellens is next choice and, before the game and in training, Mr Potter had faith in Wellens to be successful with at least some goal attempts. The conditions on the night, blustery wind, did not help. At the time of squad selection Mr Potter would not have known Wellens would miss 6 from 6; you have to go with your original thinking. Mr Potter selected the best team avalable to him on the night. Unfortunately Wellens did not play & kick as planned (not on his own there); you cannot blame the coach for the performance on the field from top class players. Gidley was not fit; Pryce was off form; Gilmour non existant & Meli was .... just typical Meli. Praise must be given to the Wakefield defence and the kicking of Brough.

Then Mr Potter had the option of putting Lomax on the field who apparently is a goalkicker. Instead, he was on the bench for most of the night. Mr Potter doesn't get off scot free from Friday's match. He definitely has to take responsibility for allocating the goalkicking. That was his job.

Must try harder Fishsta.
