although we lost we have to say that was a fantastic effort tonight. the best team in the competion were pushed to the limit. my only concern is that we had so many opportunities and at one point had 4 sets without crossing the whitewash. poor attack or good defence ? the only point that stings is probably the most cowardly player in sl scoring the winning try. but aprt from that, a good clean derby that was a joy to watch

when you consider we usually get stuffed, we showed pride and fight tonight. we had a try disallowed and lost on a bounce of the ball from a hight kick. a game of inches. im happy with our performance, once our halfs and hooker click, ( which is a new combo again i might add ) we;ll be ok, we;ll start taking our chances
I'm pleased we put up some fight but I wouldn't say I'm proud of the performance, even if the effort was there.
We should have torn them apart; our defence was awesome all night but their tries were complete gives; we had to build up so much pressure for ours but they just walked theirs over.
It was the quitest game I've seen from Roby, Graham, Pryce, Gidley, Gardner, Wilkin and yet we still couldn't get a win.
If we had beaten them in the recent past we'd have easy won tonight. Saints were poor and we should have put them away.
We played a very tired, error ridden Saints team, and still lost. We tried hard, but again lacked the ingenuity to convert possession and territory into points.
We aren't a NL1 side hoping for an upset in the cup, we're a team who've gotten to 2 semi's. How can we be happy with yet another failure to beat a very average Saints team (on the night)?
