Even you can see there will be no timely boosts next week. FCs to lose next week.

Funny how people see differently. I saw it massively different.

Our passing at time was hot. How many times you ever seen us go to the wing and go 40 metres from behind our own tryline from a kick off. Mad stuff that the hudds game was only weeks ago.Angles were ran n Ellis was man of the match for me. Mini was ace 2nd. Quiet 1st. Ellis monster ed everything. He was the only 1 who knocked walmsley about. He was shook up a few times by Ellis. Ellis went off with 2 left. Just the effects of last week's dead leg it looked like.

Need some more follow up to watts.

We played some sharp stuff tonight at times but have to credit saints. They defended brilliant. We still need more improvement but we'd of had enough for most barring the big boys. Even though our own errors killed us. but I've also got to say. That's 1 of the worst refs I've seen. He destroyed that game. Radford was bang on in his interview.

Ellis was a beast tonight, dished out some great shots.

Sthelens having a extra man ie man in red top

I was back tonight, and glad I did. Sloppy 10-15 minutes apart, we tried to play rugby and provide the kind of game I want to go and watch. Too many errors, yes, but I'd sooner see us try and fail than plod along playing safety-first basics. First time I've come away feeling pretty positive in a long time. More of that, please.



Much better, and if anything Saints pulled off a bit of a smash and grab.

Back line has to be lineham, talanoa, sa, naughton for me when all fit. michaels and yeaman not up to it

Personally, I came away not feeling like that at all. Did you go or is it the impression the radio gave? Frustrating at times, but not disappointing IMO, we made errors because we tried to play the game the right way. I'll not fault them too much for that, it's what most of us have been crying out for. Only Talanoa seemed to make an excessive amount of poor errors.

Agree. But I thought michaels went ok tonight. Had a real dig. Bet he's got some decent stats

We also made plenty of unforced errors, including at least 3 from talanoa

Maybe a bit unfair on michaels who does defend well (other than kicks) and carries the ball strongly but isn't much of a threat with ball in hand for me

2 buggers - the one in the dark blue top too. In fact, I'm sure he kicked one of their penalties before shefellover and ran off.



What a sideshow that was - obviously deliberate and intended to distract - coaching onfield blatently and not more than 10 swigs of water actually administered to anyone. Exposed the ref's naivety and inexperience in all it's nakedness - he failed to nip it in the bud after the first 10 minutes of -taking then didn't have a clue how to address it. Thought orange-and-blue shirts would accompany him and the touch judges asthey slunk off in a huddle... they certainly had a good go in joining in the other scrums.

I thought Roby dished a fair bit of the naughty treatment out tonight. Not a player I'd really associate with that kind of thing but quite indicative of their tactics.
