There is nothing wrong with Swift's defence, it is Percival flying in that is the problem.

Adam Swift is quality, How anybody cannot rate him is beyond me, unless you personally dislike the lad.

Works his socks off, speed and a quality finisher.

Agree with all of saddos comments, but Walsh cannot be rated highly enough, he was the difference between last years hard work and last nights top performance. Keep him fit and he can be the real catalyst to our season. Manus first game last year was a nightmare if dropped balls and poor offloads, he'll be a top performer for us again this year. And great to see such a young back line with genuine pace and attacking threat. Brown has done a great job in turning us round over the last 12 months from also rans to genuine contenders

If this 'Marquee' rule comes in, then Saints need to offer Walsh the earth and tie him down for years. He has totally turned the team around in one match.

Like I said, good start but much to work on

For those focusing on Percival's defensive flaws, it seems like he made a couple of errors early on and then tightened up. He is, however, so composed withth e ball in hand and a real threat with his pace. Well worth persevering with, even if he does leave the odd gap - much like ben crookes at Hull las tyear.

Just to add, Walsh in defence was just as impressive. I don’t think he missed a tackle all match.

Dux mentioned he looked pretty solid for a half back and I was encouraged by Brian Carney's experience that he's "got a bit of mongrel in him".

And Walsh didn't get tackled all match. They didn't lay a finger on him. He had the cleanest jersey on the pitch and walked away with the man of the match. That shows his class.

Sure, but once he has a bad game that will quickly turn into ammunition for the moaners to say he's not committed and hasn't taken the line on. You know what they're like on here.

To be honest he should have took the line on few times last night. They are expecting him to pass all time. A little drop of the shoulder and he'd be gone.

Just to put a word in for Wilkin - he did have a couple of poor moments in attack but in defence he was right up in Westwood's grill all game.

No bites on that one hey!!!!

Our tackle completion last night was incredible all round. I don't know the final count but with about 65 minutes to go we'd only missed 6 tackles to warringtons 23!

Kudos, Saddo. You've just made my day with that one.
