Our long kicking is poor.
Our tenacity in defence is as good as I've seen in a primrose and blue strip.
The speed and footwork of our wingers and fullbacks can create tries from anywhere, and do so every week.
We were miles better than Saints today.
We are right in the mix.
I don't like our long kicking game and I haven't all season but saints play with a 3 back system which is therefore hard to find space again. We are still pants against 2 though!
We defo ade right in the mix. Expect some final footy dress rehearsal next couple of weeks, Unless we're in with a sniff of 2nd place.

Streets ahead of this time last year, so even if, in that second half, we're not scoring against a side that never looked like doing the same, I suppose we can't complain. Teenage me would've snapped your hand off if you'd offered him wire finishing third, plus beating Wigan AND saints in a season and reaching the CCF. And 36 year-old me last year would have too! Guess perspective helps sometimes.
Love the energy and ferocity in defence that Yates has brought to us. Also thought Philbin was exceptional today. Scratchy in attack but I’ll take the win.

Philbin v Saints is a tale as old as time. He is always twice the player against them.
