Saints have played a cup finalist the last 3 years.

Don't think any of the fringe players have made a real push to make Radfords 17.

Hmm if we make the Grand Final I wonder if we've just seen the ref the RFL will choose to ref the match

Not too bothered about that, wasn't expecting anything spectacular with so many regulars rested but we still put in a commendable performance. As others have said, full strength we would have slaughtered them.

Naughton probably had a game to forget. Thought Hadley and Feka both came up well.

Abdul is getting better and better with a lot better pre season he could be our 6 next year leave Carlos in centre with griffin proud of the lads efforts tonight lucky saints getting us after the final if its them we play in the semi I would be very confident of victory

Thought Feka did well, but doubt he will play again for Hadley did OK, best 3 players for me where Watts, Washy and Manu.

Wonder why Downs was selected before Turgut?

No disgrace tonight. Lads should be proud. It took saints 73 minutes to kill us off and even then it flattered them

Your right
Not sure about Naughton as a long term First team player
None of us would have been too disappointed too lose tonight with wholesale changes but i think Radford made a mistake tonight not playing several more of the under23s.
what it does highlight is how slow from the play the ball we were without Houghton.

I was really surprised with Feka's defence, he put some huge shots in. He's reverted back to Feka circa 2010 though. He must have been on the Jordan Abdull diet

Naughton tries hard but he just seems too lightweight. Gets dominated and pushed back too easy. Great when he gets a bit of space but doesn't offer nowhere near the same as Michaels and Talanoa when clearing our own line.
