Last two games Fages has looked very good.

But I'm going to hate this last 5 minutes.

I have no faith in our ability to hang on.

Come on lads!

Seems as though Theo is very involved and having a good impact on the game.

God in heaven, where's my heart pills?

Ray French choice of 1-2-3 was Fages, Walmsley and Percival.

Tommy came up with some very big defensive plays which is worth a shout

Yes, it sounded as though he had a watertight game, didn't seem to be many mentions of any cockups from Wilkin.

vast improvement offensively than what ive seen in recent weeks. We were actually trying to play some rugby and scored some excellent trys.

Defence in the first half however was rubbish. Too many times you could see multiple players marking the same territory leaving gaps out wide.

Second half i think we started to revert to the five drives and a kick drivel.

I thought our right hand side offence improved when LMS replaced Peyroux.

Next friday should be interesting Wire are desperate and we look lacking in defensive structure

Fages and walmsley I'd agree with. Percy has started to get better service these last two games, and he's showing more of what he can do. I think I'd put Roby ahead of him. A more active game from James, which helped.

Peyroux constantly out of position and throws the defence out. Also makes Morgan look bad.

For those of us that actually watched the NRL last season, we know that Morgan doesn't need any help to look bad

I don't think I have ever seen a player look as unhappy and disinterested in a Saints shirt. He even looked miserable scoring a try.

Someone make the lad a nice pie and tell him the weather will pick up soon.

Duly noted, but I'll reserve judgement until he gets a decent second row inside of him.

I thought you deserved that. Saints played with more intent and attacking adventure then I've seen you do for a long while.

I'm a big fan of Percival and I thought Fages was exceptional. If he were English I'd be getting pretty excited about that sort of performance. He was constantly looking for openings and his offload just topped it off.

Like Hull last week, I think the players have spoken on the Cunningham issue. They clearly don't want to get him sacked, the effort was definitely there tonight. What was also there was the style of play. I've not seen us promote the ball, play on the front foot and actively look for the offload like since Cunningham has been in charge. Some of the attacking play was great. The defense was a contrast, the first half was absolutely horrendous, ridiculously poor defending. The second was brilliant, from both teams and the intensity was far higher.

The player that impressed me the most was Tommy. His big hit on Bosc had the neighbours banging on the wall in complaint against my shouting. Theo's offload which ultimately won us the game was sensational, the kind of thing that would massively hyped if Billy Slater or Shaun Johnson did it.

If we back that up and beat Warrington things will be looking a lot better than they have been. If we don't, tonight will just have papered over the cracks and allowed Cunningham to struggle on for another few weeks. I'd love to know whether the increased attacking intent shown tonight was a Cunningham-led thing or the players taking things into their own hands. Last season when we were playing horribly, there was one week where things noticably stepped up and we went on a big winning run. Is it Keiron's doing or the players saying enough is enough which his structure and grind?

The one thing that almost ruined the game was the refereeing. Swift's no try was another example of very strange decisions going against us. Saints should make an almighty fuss about that one, it was sent upstairs as a try and there wasn't even the slightest hint of evidence to the contrary. Having said that, the forward pass call to deny a Catalans try was also a terrible decision, one I'd have been raging about if it was us being prevented from scoring.
