You can understand playing Merrin at prop if we've got no other option, but apparently we've got three props on the bench (not that Cuthbertson is actually a prop).

See what happens but if I were saints I'd be looking to get Dwyer through a ton of work with parcell out, leeds would protect him better with another big body at 13.

Unbelievable decision...

How on earth is that a try?

Madness, and even worse Cummins trying to justify it.

What the hell is this ref doing here.

Well not a surprise the starting pack can't get out of their 40

You're playing Saints this week try to see the decision in that context

We do lack a bit of punch in the pack in many ways...

Looks like another bad injury for Ward.

Forced interchange has the pack looking more balanced again.

Wow. What a difference.

Start with this pack and life would have been a bit easier.

I'll say it again but this game has turned on wards misfortune.

Most impressive thing so far has been the attitude. Going behind, quickly, and then fighting back like that shows real belief and courage.

Not perfect, but certainly encouraging.
