Great result. Excellent defence.

More to do in attack but we've got great games coming up to hone those skills.

For me our defence is brilliant, and our forwards are in attack. We still lack any spark in attack though, the wigan game showed as much, last night reinforced it

Leon Pryce didn't really engage in either match, did he? He is supposed to be our spark. He was just that before his injury last season and so hopefully that will return over the remaining league games.

Leon Pryce scored a brilliant solo score to put us 6-0 up. For someone coming back after so long out, it's not a bad contribution.

yes,I think that's the problem I have with him - you can never be sure he will keep his discipline or ball control - that's why i'msure if he's good enough to command a regular Saints place

One try and one try assist in 80 minutes? He was quiet this weekend and he was quiet last weekend, unlike the previous two weekends. I'm willing to give him latitude as a player returning from a very long absence but I expect more from him each week from now on.

I don't want to see his shirt as white after the Hull KR game.

Leon has been out for a while and will defo lack match fitness and sharpness but he needs to take the line on more than he's doing. He's a devastating runner of the ball as he's big, fast, strong and can beat a man which is rare for a back at saints.

IMO pryce is at his devastating best when he's given a free role to allow him to drift in and out of the games as he chooses. It's hard to pin him down when he drifts in and out the game, a little like Sam Tomkins.

I think for pryce to be at his best he needs a ball playing 7 with him which takes the pressure off Leon as a ball player. I know Leon likes to be the main man but IMO he's better as a out and out runner like he was few years back when longy was his halfback.

to be fair if the rest of the team had done the same it would have broke all records

he's been far too busy for doing silly things like getting fit etc

he's been undergoing intensive french lessons ,to be ready for next season...... :ROCKS:

Given that we only scored 3 tries in the game, I can only imagine how dissapointed you are with the rest of the squad.
