| Overall a solid performance from Saints but i believe we are yet to hit top gear. Eastmond's try was epic though! I felt a bit sorry for young Matty Ashurst as he was only on the pitch for about five mins and then went of injured with a broken finger and its a real blow to lose Gidley to injury as well! Lomax once agian did a brilliant job at winger. Im not missing Gardner one bit!

I was calling for the 1 pointer - I think it's part of the learning curve for Eastmond, it would have killed the game but in the end I guess ti didnt matter
I think you're right, Eastmond will probably frustrate you a little at times this season but with each game he will gain experience and knowledge. Next season he'll probably understand alot more and become a more complete player through his experiences this season

| It's whether people can be patient while these youngsters learn their trade. It's undoubted that there are some talented youngsters coming through but Saints supporters have proven to be not the most patient of people. I heard a few supporters having a go at Lomax and Eastmond at the Wakefield game for errors brought on by inexperience.
Am looking forward to seeing this Macgennis chap too, I've been told by someone who goes to watch the youngsters that he could be the best of the lot.

| First 20 not that impressed then we settled into it and at times showed flashes of class, bit nervy at the end when a few wrong decisions were taken.
Good performance considering the injuries as well.
Thought Eastmonds kicking was in the main very good, Leon took the ball up well and the speed of the play the ball allowed us to get a roll on.
Thought Wakey were a decent team Tronc in particular is one player I would have liked to see in a redV, cant believe hes on mega money.
Only negative for me was Puletua and hopefully he can pick up his form.

| A couple of people I used to work with who watch the kids are quietly optimistic about Magennis. But he's still very young. At best he's only likely to make a serious impact somewhere between 2011 and 2012. It could be as late as 2015 before he reaches full potential.

| It was a good game. Wakey are really in form at the moment as they seem to be silencing a lot of their doubters. Hopefully they will be able to keep up their early season pace and not have their squad depth tested too much down the track. Good luck to them.
A good performance that we can build on IMO. We could have easily lost that game if Brough had stayed on and they had not dropped the ball so much.
With the injuries (Gidley, Ashurst) and the players that didnt start (Soliola, Wilkin, Gardner, Flannery) we could have easily had a clanger.
