I was at Warrington last week and in the first 20 minutes I thought Saints looked as quick as Melbourne did in the WCC.

They have a ploy of attacking up the middle of the ruck area. Looking to expose the gap that is left behind the markers. They did a lot of running into that channel last Friday night and Warrington struggled to cope. One thing for certain is they are going to play an expansive style of football and look to move the defence around a lot.

Richardson is a handful and moves them well alongside the field, surprised Lomax is playing at 6 as he doesn't actually offer that much. It's a bonus if Walmsley isn't fit but the focus has to be on stopping Roby as he was phenomenal again last week.

Defensively they were very strong as well, only conceded tries from kicks last week, conceded 2 points the week before so the attacking game needs to be on point as well if Leeds are going to get anything from the game on Friday night.

When Walters ran it up at the end and dropped it. He had one job just to take it in and keep hold and he couldn't do that. Luckily, they needed 2 tries at that point.

Think it's all been said on the performance - great gutsy win.
Regarding child and scrums, 3/4 times saints only put 5 in the scrum and child stops the scrum half feeding the ball and calls for another player to pack down. Other teams do the same. It's not junior rugby, for mine, ref should let scrum half feed the scrum and then penalise the team packing 5 down.

Certainly one of our better league wins in recent years. Good to see Smith and Oledski playing in a big game and doing well. As for Walters, I just don't rate him, but as others say, he's about 7th/8th choice so it doesn't matter much when everyone's fit.

Alex Walmsley ruled out long term with a fractured bone in his neck. Big loss for them.

It would be a yes from me.

A few pings from that a game and it would all but disappear within a round of fixtures.
