Despite Wello having a key role in the Wakefield win you say....

Shouldn't be in the 17

Not wanted by most fans - have you conducted a survey or something

No kicking game - Lance kicked great and Wello chipped in with the odd decent kick ( not forgetting Wello's kick for a try last week)

Let's start dealing in facts not the inaccurate propaganda you seem intent on repeating every week

Why is this going on tonight?

Whatever role wello was given by his coach tonight, he did it masterfully. I don't think anyone can argue with that.

I was only pointing out that Wellens didn't play as a halfback. Whatever position he played, he was brilliant tonight!

Fully agree.

Heroic performance from the whole 17 and it was an excellent win.

The petty bickering isn't necessary.

If you recall this was exactly the issue after the Wakey game - we had a great win, Wello played a significant part and the usual suspects were ripping the back out of him - despite not going to the game.

Similar barbed comments before this game - it needs to be highlighted otherwise it will just carry on regardless of how Wello and the likes of Lance perform.


I've made my point - I'll log off and watch the game again - COYS - Fantastic Performance 1 - 17

Sorry but you have took a win and used it to start a Wello conversation. People could have eaten their own words or not, but by using the first opening 5 post on this thread after a match to have a go, it's effectively spoiled possible one of the best wins.

When was the last time ramming down someones neck that they were wrong convinced anyone over to your point of view?

I've been a massive critic of Wellens over the last few years, but he put in a big shift for us tonight. I think Brown trusted Lomax with a bit more of the creative work from fullback and that took the pressure off Wellens in the halves and let him play to his strengths. He even managed to shift the ball on fairly quickly tonight when needed.

I actually think Hohaia's kicking game is underrated by many fans. He puts some excellent kicks in whenever he plays. IMO, he's just not consistent enough to be the main organiser of the team.

I though wello was good tonight. Worked hard and showed some good strength on the Makinson 1st try.

It's one of my proudest moments as a saints fan seeing the likes of greenwood, Richards, walker, Thompson and Saveilo really standing up against a big experienced pack like Leeds.


We forget also how young lomax, swift, jones and Dawson are as Weill.

I expected a loss by Saints. I thought given the team out we would have done well to keep to within 12 points.

But my word, what a result.

I have no time for Lance as a half, but that was his best game barr none. Deserves a gold medal for kicking. Every single one was on the money.

Lomax did excellently at 7, ran it to the line and took a few smacks for it. Sneaky play by Brown. 1 in defense. 7 in attack.

Flanaghan boy he's a tough nut.

I thought we ballsed it up when someone went rouge and tried to do a cunningham on the last tackle.

At half time I had already seen enough to make me proud of the team. A totally totally unexpected result.

I've seen 3 Saints games and in each one Wellens has been a Giant. I'll be honest I'm not entirely sure where he ended up playing at times. But his tackling is amazing. Given he has played 10+ years at FB, were you are not doing 20+ tackles a match, I thought he would struggle. But SMACK welcome Zak Hardacher to a tackle. BOOM!

All the young forwards have really put a hand up. Even Dawson had some nice touches.

Maso is not a feka by any means. He may turn his back on the tackle too much for my liking but he takes it in and gets smacked about.

good summary that.

Nobody with eyes and any knowledge of rugby would think that, but it suits a certain point of view. It was pretty obvious Lomax was playing 7
