Quote: Judder Man "Saints have been regarded has having the slowest backline for years, speed is an asset but not as important as "speed of mind". Wellens as an example regarded as the slowest back in superleague, yet can get to the cover tackle or attacking line better than anybody.
Think we are still top of the Superleague try count 150+, not bad for a slow backline.'"
Our backline hasn't been that slow this year.
For most of the season it's contained a couple of Eastmond, Pryce, Lomax, Wheeler and Foster. Whilst they aren't going to compete with Penny over 100m, all have injected much needed pace. Eastmond's move to the middle has freed up room for Pryce which has been the most important move of all.
