Betfred Super League Round 21

Wakefield Trinity 4 - 34 St Helens

If you don't turn up against Saints you get your @ss handed to you , we got our @ss handed to us .

There's no such thing as a poor Saints team it's just that some are better than others pretty much like in Rugby Union when there's no such thing as a poor All Blacks team .

Saints beat us up good and proper , they have a winning mentality ingrained in them and they don't much care how they get it done , you might say dark arts but slowing the ruck down and stopping us from quick play the balls is a facet of the game they excel at and we just couldn't get anything going .

Saints will disrupt you and if they've to take a 10 minute sin bin to stop you they will .

Despite the disappointing scoreline I found the game fascinating to watch , Saints against poorer Trinity teams of old haven't always needed to display some of the professionalism they did last night to beat us , they simply had significantly better players .

Last night they showed us a huge amount of respect in the way they went about their work and it was a masterclass by them in how to play winning Rugby League and completely dominate your opponents.
