Thought I'd ask just as alot have raved about last night and I personally didn't have it as a great game.
Think the play the ball is the one thing the top sides always execute faster and Saints are masters at it.Thought we played quite well in the game tonight and i still can't understand why we never went for two points in the second half when we got a penalty.Dawson Jones gave a good account i thought,Danny Houghton ran more and Carlos seemed back to his old self.We got out smarted on the bell but we had a go,that's all you can ask for.

Agree there thought he did ok. Just think we went to safe with Washy at 6 although it was a nice bit of play for Dawson’s try.
Was pleasing to see Sneyd take the line on more too and hope that’ll continue and not just be out of necessity.
Also have to say I don’t think we looked any worse than Wigan to be fair as they had their halves etc and created bugger all. Their line speed may have been quicker but tbf think it’d be a marginal call.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

The three quarters all played their part. MDJ did OK.
The concerns about our props came home to roost. Paea and Thompson lacked impact. We really need strengthening in that department or it will continue to be our undoing.

I thought Sneyd had a great game tonight. He would have got MOM if we had won.

We cant keep saying we had a go We need to win to get points Their bench tonight was far superior to ours and thats 12 losses in a row irrespective of whether they won in the last 6 seconds

Feared the worst at half-time but thought we looked fitter, stronger, and dominated them second-half. Watched my wager go up in smoke with 6 seconds to go but was more gutted for the lads after their second-stanza efforts. P!ssed off, muchly. We've gotta catch a break sooner or later, haven't we?

Either Paea is still carrying an injury or he’s done. He lacked any go forward and impact at all, disappointing performance from him tonight. Thought Thompson did ok but he isn’t going to bend or break the line, but occasionally will get through as he not got a bad step. Said in an earlier post that Taylor going to be carry the team in the forwards again certainly until Bowden & Green get back to full fitness and find the form from 2017.
