Cant make tonite(work)but hope we come away with a performance that will show our intent for this season win or lose good luck lads!

Again yer missing the point no-one is saying that from a players pov or how THEY should approach games.
It's an opinion of some fans whereas others feel tonight is must win.

Were the game a one off - say a GF, cup final or the like - I'd agree.
But to convince yourself that you're unbeatable only to lose? Doesn't take many of those to not only shake your confidence but destroy it. I'd actually find that explanation of last season's fiasco far more plausible than a flooded training facility.

no McGuire, sutty at 6. baldwinson on bench and surprisingly, for me, is mullally

I think you missed the point.

Very happy with that squad to be honest. No need to risk Mcguire early on, Baldwinson gets his chance to shine and a very versatile bench. Looking forward to this.

Squad looks good, Im just a bit worried about the mobility of our starting second rowers, when Saints are playing 2 young quick halves, hopefully ward comes on early to combat this.

Good save from Golding.

Last tackle plays are as bad as I expected.

Parcell looks very very promising!

Am i watching the same game as the sky team? Saying heroic saints defence and defending for their lives, in truth we have been terrible and clueless in the Saints 25.we aint looked like scoring despite the amount of ball they have given us.last tackle kicks and options shocking as usual. We are winning which is great,but Saints are dire and we should be out of sight.
