Superleague grand final

Post by conyoviejo » Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:15 pm

6pm old Trafford tonight.
Catalan v St Helens

Should be a cracking game. I make the Stains slight favourites,but hoping Catalan Dragons can turn it on and shove it up the Stains.

Should be a goodun but hope Saints don’t fold in the last 5 minutes like they did in Magic Weekend at Newcastle.

Superb first half. Really does show up premier league players!!
Would quite like a Catalan victory but might be a a game too far

Absolutely brilliant game ,puts football to shame,unlucky Catalan,Stains get all the luck again with an awful play the ball decision given against Catalan in the last few minutes,but well done to them.

A great tough game of rugby league, stars all round on both sides.
A Rochdale Hornets supporter but saw little success at the Athletics Ground.

Great to see Rob Burrow at the end. The man is a inspiration

I enjoyed it as a neutral. Very fast paced for big lads.

Was that the incident where the Catalan player had his head stuck between the Saints players legs? Or should I say the Saints player had clamped the head of the Catalan player between his knees!

Makes up for Tomkins getting a penalty when the claimed to have been taken out whilst jumping to catch the high bomb.
Felt like the ref was giving Catalans most of the calls throughout the game but I need to watch it back to validate whether that was true or not.

Anyway doesn’t matter now.
Saints have won three in a row!!

Thought the ref got most things spot on and had a good game but for the play the ball incident ,you will have to replay that and the other incident with Tomkins and get back to me with your thoughts Jack.
