It's been off all week, been gutted as is the best comedy site on the interweb.

However it does serve as a metaphor for the Saints team it has methods which are outdated in the modern world. Elements that are old and slow and should have been replaced years ago, unwilling to make any investment and is completely out of touch with the majority of people.

1. Whitley is the signing of the season - he’s nowhere ruddy near Fitzgibbon.

2. Bennison is that good that he’s keeping Tee Ritson out of the side (tee hee)

3. James Bell is their most influential player…..James Bell….these are the Entertainers apparently.

4. Clark has been brillliant….looked bog average.


The Clark thing made me chuckle, Walker scored a textbook 'Roby' style try on Fri and Wilkin said it was poor and lazy from Leeds' defence. I bet if Clark did the same it'd be "oh that's textbook number 9 play just like the great James Roby" but we do it and it's just because Leeds are poop.

Really enjoyable game though with the right result.


Was thinking the same when it happened, but yeh suspect nothing will come from it.

The Hurrell tackle on Johnstone looked like a shoulder charge to me.

There was no contact by Hurrell using his arms, and he just barged Tom Johnstone over the touch-line with his shoulder.

That would make it a penalty try.

I only remember seeing it from behind, where it looked like a shoulder charge, but then seeing Hurrell's arms out in front of him. I assume he was trying to target Johnstone's arm to knock the ball out ( a la Goodwin on Makinson in the Cup Final 2019).

Not afraid of them it will be a good test for us. However, our defence could be better! - bring them on!

Which you can do. Nothing wrong with that. He's just denied him the space and forced him out. You'll only get penalised for that if you come in perpendicular to the player, like a fullback coming across and using the shoulder. A player running parrallel won't be, it happens a lot.

I'm not even sure what the Delaney incident was you wanted him banned for, but doesn't look like he's been charged with anything. There wasn't anything in our game worth banning, bar Sims' ridiculous dive and his reckless head clash with Tom Johnstone.
