well played lads. brilliant.
i only get to see the saints when they are on tele and was expecting us to get battered tonight after reading some of the threads on here saying what a poor team we are.
well we werent poor tonight thats for sure.
each and everyone of the team played their part in a great and for my part an unexpected victory.
brilliant.

Great performance from your lads, score flattered Leeds. Cheeky finish from Foster to finish it off as well!

Nice one Saints, Leeds got away with murder tonight, especially the 2 knock ons for there 1st try. Literally felt sick to my stomach when that forward pass was given.

Why do Leeds fans insist on booing Graham? Jealousy?Or because he stood up one time to the bully, Ryan Bailey, who this week made disgusting comments about Japan?
Great performance

I'm not going to carp on about the pass, they go for you and they go against you. But it's how you step up in the next set of 6 that matters.

For me that's what happens when you extract the poison from a side.

The coach has learn't some lessons hopefully. No wingers on the bench. Meli in the centres. 2 half backs ready to play. And obviously some serious work midweek on the defence. Leeds have their own issues, but that's for them to resolve, lets hope we can kick on and get back to back wins.

We have the Bulls at home, I see no reason to change the side. Just play it out and pick the players for the right positions in the right form and forget the names on the back of the shirt.

I have a sneaky suspicion that they don't like him.





We all do it.

Bailey gets reminded of his time in the prison showers by all the Saints fans each time he plays.. Don't take it personally.

and so he should be reminded, he did something wrong! I still don't see the absolute hate against Graham? Im gonna go with Jealousy 2 rest my mind

Who the fook do you think made the changes? God? Royce said he was going to have a think about what 'we' were doing. Clearly he did have a think. And so did the rest of the team. Wello said that they were hurt over the lack of effort they put in last week. While so many on here have been panicking and calling for Royce's head, he has been trying to work out which are his best combinations, bearing in mind he had to give Kyle Eastmond a chance to retain the no.7 shirt.

He put a stand off on the bench instead of a winger. I think that is wise. He needs a back on the bench. We get too many injuries in our team NOT to have a back on the bench.

Fair play. You win.

Just like I said

Yeh but his hand was forced this week. If Eastmond was available for selection, would he have been dropped. Would Meli have moved to cover Lomax.

He also said at the end of the match that Lomax has been playing in the centre's in the off season. It also seamed he was not aware of Lomax playing with Gaskell at half back in the under 18's until he talked to him about playing half back.

I'm not one who calls for the coaches head, I thought Wilkin at loose was a good choice by the coach, but equally persisting with Meli on the wing and Foster on the bench was doing nothing.

And how do YOU know that it wasn't Royce Simmons who advised the board about Kyle? How do you know whether Royce had a choice in playing Kyle Eastmond? After all, he too is a paid employee of the Board. You know nothing about the situation so stop talking out of your backside.


I don't remember him saying that. He said he'd been playing at centre recently. Wheeler was playing in the centres in the off season. He said that Lomax and Gaskell had played as halfback partners in the under 18s and Lomax reckoned they could put together some moves from back then, which clearly they did. Good on Lomax for thinking and being intelligent, and actually caring. But that team would not have gone out in that order had Royce Simmons not wanted it that way. He could just as easily have dropped Gaskell and put Lomax and Wheeler together, for example. But he believed in Gaskell, and said so publically, and was he right or was he right? All Gaskell needed was a functioning halfback partner and look how many mistakes he made! None!


He has to provide cover for the backs. With Wello playing on injections and our young guns' tendencies towards injury, he needed cover on the bench. Foster can cover fullback, and it's my theory that he was there for that purpose, playing the final ten to keep him match fit. Wheeler will now possibly take on that role, playing for some of the match in place of Gaskell. I might be wrong, but that would be my guess.
