Huge defensive scrum on the Saints 5m line, great work from Waller, Hill and Clare

Wasn’t that a rip not a knock on?

Looked like fairly clear obstruction.

And it was.

Hang on, TMO happy to come in on that knock on, so where was he when Polota-Nau played the ball from offside earlier?

I fail to see how that was a 'clear knock on from North'

Saints won their cup final .... ;)

Tigers now need to go to win v Falcons and now go toSale And win to stand a top 4 chance.

Massive credit to Saints. Just kept on forcing Leicester to throw one more pass and beat one more man, and time and again they couldn't do it.

If Hill can put in that sort of performance coming in cold, you have to wonder why he's been deemed not worth a bench spot at least. Paynter looks like a bit of a beast.

I'm very pleased to see Paul Hill get a game but he and his fellow forwards are in for a tough afternoon.
Derbies, eh? :). Pride still counts for something I'm pleased to see.

Not had this post game feeling for a couple of seasons! Very happy to have done the double over Tigers, brightens up an otherwise grim season.

Genge has to play for England in the world cup, he's an absolute monster.

Genge is one of my favourite players to watch. I loved his comment on camera after he was subbed. :lol:

is it an actual policy/law. Weird if so, because if they are going to do it for everything, we'd have no rucks any more.

Ha. Well what do i know? I'll have that serving of humble pie a bit later.

I really enjoyed the game. Full on and ultra competitive from first to last. Massive credit to Saints who fronted up and showed tremendous commitment. Thought Hill did very well, as did Craig, Gibson and Harrison up front.
Genge is an absolute beast.

Thought James Craig put in a good shift as well after not playing for a long time, winning as key turnover at the end. Always wonder what might have been with him if he wasn't plagued by injury.
