…. "enough really is enough", or maybe not.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Never known so many pundits to spitshine one players bootyhole in unison.
Fantastic player though but Saints success is not just about Barba. They have a very good forward pack.If you watch how much time Richardson has to kick the ball on the last tackle without pressure this is a reflection of how Saints pack are in control. if we can get our discipline right,control the ball and put pressure on Barba and Richardson on the last tackle we will give them a game.

As daft as it sounds I think Barba is the least of our worries and as it was commented on yesterday he's a rich icing on a fantastic cake. As you say their pack even without Walmsley is superb and Roby for me is the best hooker in the comp. They are an excellent RL side and with home advantage and our huge list of missing players including both halves I just believe our joyous Cup run is over.

I hope you're right. Making the 8 is so important.

What we learned from last 2 seasons is that to have a serious tilt at both trophies we need 90% of senior squad to stay fit and be rotated to keep fresh for end of season. Last season we nearly did it but just ran out of steam at semi. This season in view of injury situation will be unlikely to give saints a game in 3 weeks but 100% sure we will try with rads in charge. Let's be realistic and let players regroup and push on in top 4 so we can have serious go at GF. With all others bashing each other to Wembley we could benefit and really be ready to capitalise. Having seen sneyd today at Morrisons on 2 crutches and a leg brace he looks unlikely to steer us to Wembley for his hat rick of lance Todd anyway.
