Cam Smith is an excellent kicker, and should have took over.

forgot about him.
thought he played well.
one unused sub and did Walters come back on?

Imo better team lost, i have no idea why ferres didn't take his try under sticks probably shocked he was over line, but from 0-77 minute we we're better team had more energy and zip about us than we've had all season, give us watkins and Myler tonight and we'd have won never mind about the other 10 plus players we had missing, Saints scrapped through against half a battered and bruised squad tonight show's how much of a champion side they are eh. Boys did the club proud tonight just a couple of silly errors at wrong times have cost us again unfortunately but hey ho we'll learn from this and get back to we're we belong hopefully very soon, Hopefully get a few bodies back for Catalans game and get the win there to give us abit of breathing room from bottom 4. Outstanding performances from Parcell, Garbutt,Briscoe,Hall and Cuthbertson all other lads did a solid shift as well. MOT, ALAW!!!!

They couldn’t bring him back on after that really poor 20 mins he did, it was laughable. Only poor player.

Moon was much better in the 2nd half, Sutcliffe, should be one of the best players in the country, but he just lets games pass him by, he's a poor man's version of Leon Pryce.

Agree re Garbutt. I personally think he's the best prop in the competition, and if he was English, he'd get a lot more praise. We're a different side with him in it.

It's difficult to pick faults, as everyone gave their all, but having gotten in a winning position, to blow it again is hard to take. Those one point losses go the other way, and the season would be view very differently.

Gotcha, sit down for this... i agree with you, he ws dire, but what a pleasing performance, gutted but not disheartened

Disappointing result but a lot to like about the performance.
Having Garbutt back makes a hell of a difference. It's no coincidence that suddenly Cuthbertson is back to what he does best, offloading, and Parcell is making metres for fun. Add a fit Singleton and Ward to that pack and we would be in pretty good shape.

Great game and I thought you were unlucky to lose. I can only assume Ferres must have thought the game was won to dot the ball down there and celebrate. I've knocked Parcell on here for his poor distribution from dummy half but the lad was top notch tonight.

I think Ferres panicked having juggled the ball and probably thought a Saints player was behind him. Dunno.

Overall a pleasing performance. Thought the props was magnificent, Parcell was sensational tonight. Great to see us offloading and at least trying to attack instead of some of the nonsense we've watched at times.

Both Hall and Briscoe had great games and carried the ball well and young Walker defended well and was brave tonight.

Think Cuthbo should remain as skipper for rest of the season now.

Let's hope that effort and intensity is evident on Wednesday.

Lol diddums. Admittedly we didn’t play well tonight but winning ugly a sign of a good side. Once Amor & Walmsley return we will be a real threat for both trophies this season. “Champion side” - what a whopper we’ve got more than DOUBLE your league points this season to date. Your closer to bottom of the league than top.

Cool, well hey I hope you enjoy your inevitable Grand Final win. It'll be as much of a breeze as beating Leeds at Wembley will be.

Yeah but our full back isn't going home at end of the season.

Correct. Rugby league is a simple game based on your big men putting you on the front foot so your backs can show off their footwork and handling skills. They also are key in defence as their strength means attackers stay tackled for longer. You can go without your big men for the odd match but to go without them for the majority of the season is a major handicap.

I applaud the excellent performance last night against the odds as the players stuck to the coach's intelligent game plan. Missed tackles from our centres led to half their tries so in the end it was missed tackles and missed goal kicks that cost us the game.

I thought Parcell was a deserved MOM which was made possible by excellent work from Garbutt, Cuthbertson, Hall and Briscoe. Moon was always a threat and Ferris looks to be getting some fitness and form back. Sutcliffe remains a disappointment

If we play like that for the rest of the season we will win most of our matches and if we can get some of the first choices back from injury too then we can finish the season positively.

I am struggling to understand how Leeds managed to lose that game. They totally dominated 3/4s of the game and came away empty handed. Magnificent effort by the whole team.

In Barba - Saints do have the ex factor player the pass he put in for the try was sublime his ability to ghost through for his try was awesome to watch - what a player

I watched the game from the seating in the Carniege - what a great place to watch from

Have to agree, whist i don’t generally think walters us as bad as some make out, he showed how out if his depth he was. There first try as soon as i saw him nail his own feet to the floor opposite Barba a screamed noooo, Barba stud him up like a pack of bricks on an ice rink.
You cant just back if or stand and watch barba like that, you have to pressure him, if you miss him or he beats you so what it gives other the chance to cover, we pressured him and gave him no space all night and handled him pretty well.
