That wind was fun. Just crazy.
JG injury looks to have mainly precautionary, which is not how it appeared on the field.
You missed some creation at halves, though I thought your middles did better than I expected. Long season ahead still for all teams.
The new ‘attitude’ was summed up by a great defensive display and our ability to take chances when they cropped up two good ones from the backs and two strong ones from the forwards strangely enough it’s what Saints have done really well for the last few years soak up the pressure and cut loose at times to win the game.
Watching the first half from behind the play actually let me see how smart SW’s game plan was and how well carried out by his team.
Who is this Matagi fella ?? most improved player in the club so far and his strength to score his try was awesome.
The bond between Ta’ai, Edwards, Matagi and Gavet is really good and has rubbed off on others and although it’s early days we look ‘together’ and work hard for each other which is promising.
Just need a couple of dry mild days to see what the backs can do in good conditions...
