Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"We weren't. Thoroughly dominant throughout and some really dumb rugby from Hull. Catalans and Hull have both tried to bully is and play to the limits. It's completely the wrong way to approach Saints. Our bench forwards get in any teams 13 and Hull, like Catalans just got battered. Our line speed is brilliant and our defense is as much a weapon as the attack. The way to play us is to get the ball wide and kick early. Then be disciplined and slow the game down in defense.
Luke Gale ultimately stopped it being a contest and the weather kept it under 50.'"
They have played to the very obvious limits of foul play but Saints are no angels. They twist every rule to the absolute limit. I’m not talking foul play but things like time wasting, feigning injury, milking penalties etc. Saints are the benchmark side, they’re so untraditional when it comes to what you expect of a Saints side and are as tough as they come but the gamesmanship on show is getting tedious, I must admit.
