Just got back from work and only seen the final scoreline.

How did we go, anybody watch or listen? Obviously 70 - 0 suggests we played well but you never know. How did Warren Thompson do on debut?

I missed today from not being very well but sounds like we did pretty good.

ATT: 2150

OUCH!

Poor from saints fans today, nobody there and no atmosphere from your fans, mainly because you was dotted about all over, not together like us who tried to generate some noise

We are better than what we showed today, 1st half all 3 tries came against run of play at the time to me, 2nd try was certainly a double movement and that was from that warren thompson, who didnt do anything of note but score and then got taken off

2nd half superior fitness told and we didnt have any ball so there was always going to be only one outcome as time wore on

You had done your homework on us as our influencial playmakers were marked out of the game

But 70-0 isnt a fair reflection IMO

The number given at the match was 2,905 and the Featherstone fans came in greater numbers than most Superleague team fans have done this season. They were also very supportive of their team and did a neat conga at one point!

Saints fans in the East Stand, such as we were, made a lot of noise in the first half when we looked like giving a try away at any moment (I'm sure Featherstone were in our half at least double the time we were in theirs during the first half) but in the second half we relaxed a bit and only made noise whenever Childs acted the idiot he is or when we were scoring.

Saints were very poor in the first half. Some of that was because Featherstone worked hard; some of it was because we were rubbish. Wello was on Twitter last night watching the boxing. Well, he could have done with going to bed if his first half performance was anything to go by! Some of the play was cringeworthy from Saints and we went into halftime looking decidedly dodgy, having only just avoided a try by Featherstone.

In the second half either Featherstone switched off or we got our act together because we looked like a different team. We improved as the second half went on and there came a point when we were scoring for fun. What was important to me, though, was that we kept Featherstone to nil. That attitude is what we need going forward. If we can replicate that against the Crusaders on Friday then we have a chance, regardless of who plays for us. However, if we look as poor as we did in the first half against any Superleague team then we will be going into halftime with a big mountain to climb - again.

Ade Gardner went off injured but apparently it is nothing serious (he hurt his shoulder). No point in risking him during the game and besides, Makinson enjoyed his time, scoring two tries.

The young guys went well. Nathan Ashe looked more confident this time out. He has very good ball control, taking a very high pass from Foster at one time while running forward to score a beauty of a try. Warren Thompson had a solid debut and scored a try of his own, which is great for him. Foster was absolutely astounding with his boot. Man, that guy has a real gift.

Your fans were impressive. Except when the wind blew in the wrong direction we heard you loud and clear in the opposite stand! Well done to your fans for turning out so well. Credit to you.

I think your guys seemed to give up or something in the second half. You took the match to us in the first half and I agree, our tries were against the run of play. As they were in the opposite end to where I sit, I couldn't see how they were scored. Warren Thompson was on his debut, incidentally, so he was never going to be on there long. He came back on for a second spell in the second half.


This is true. Our assistant coach went to watch you in your last match. We took you seriously. Given our injury situation and our reliance on young players, we had to.

Hopefully your lads will recover from the loss and continue to fight for the top spot in the Championship. Good luck!

Stop complaining about the attendence - get your hands in your pockets and go to the game.

I went. So I can complain all I like!

As did I - I cant see why everyone gets so upset about attendences. Go, Don't Go it doesnt matter to me - just don't complain about it being so low...

Why? If the club and the sport in general cannot get bums on seats neither will be in existence as a professional organisation for much longer.

Saints - Just class!

Fantastic second half display, I couldn't care how badly we played in the second half, I was just amazed at the talent you have.

Although saying that, you have "12" players out injured, how many started that are internationals?!

3 current internationals Shenton,Graham and Roby.

couldnt disagree more.

we made the breaks and chances in the first half, but poor handling cost us, featherstone came with a plan and tried there best to complete it.

wellens staying up till midnight watching the fight has nothing to do with how he played, i did the same and woke up at 9:30 fresh and raring to go!!

we won by such a margin because fetherstone were knackered on 50 minutes. they dropped off and we won the collision.

i do agree though that the youngsters did us proud
