This.

We seem to play more to the left, which is crazy. Shenton himself has publically said he doesn't feel he is getting the ball to work his skills.

The important thing is that despite the mistakes Lomax and Gaskell are still able to move the team up the pitch, create chances and show now signs of folding under pressure.

??? I've read this over 20 times and still don't follow what you are saying at the ens of the sentance.
I'm sure it must be me being a bit thick but could you please re-word it for me ?

Correction for the confused!!!!

Easier to pass to the left? It may simply be a sign of inexperience and hesitance in Lomaskell to think tactically.

Did you Saints fans expect a more physical game from Rovers pack ?
What you think to Masons effort ?

Hes getting right on my ****!!!!

Got him in my fantasy team and he never bloody scores.

To be fair, Saints never really got out of 2nd gear. The game seemed to lack any real intensity - maybe that's just the impression due to the subdued atmosphere in the ground.

Our forwards clearly won us the game, as they were pretty dominant. Perry is getting better by the game, and probably just about deserved Man of the Match. Graham took the line on a bit more, rather than trying to be a half back, and made some great metres. LMS must have been close to MOM for his 2 tries and some great drives.

Happy with the win, but slightly disappointed because I thought HKR were there for a pasting. At least we're heading in the right direction.

The isn't and never was any doubt in my mind that perry would be great signing. He's not the type to come for a well paid holiday.

He missed a lot of rugby and thats tough for such a big man to come back and be firing. His workrate while not being fit has been very very good.

Give him another 4 games and we will see his quality.

Yes. But I think we matched you. Our forwards worked very hard last night, presumably because they were expecting a challenge.


He is being largely nullified because he is being targeted by teams. We kept him quiet last night, which was good. We don't need him rampaging around the pitch!

Our Pack trashed theirs, with Graham, Perry, LMS, Soliola and Puletua all extremely dominant.

For me, Scott Moore has come on leaps and bounds and is putting in some very mature performances, slotting in and using a range of skills to really balance out the team. I've been critical of him in the past, but have really enjoyed his input over the last 3 games.

Regarding Shenton, we don't seem to get the ball to him enough, certainly not as much as we get it to the left centre, be it Meli or Wheels over the last few weeks. I wonder whether we'll see this imprve as the Lomaskill combo find their feet.

Right handed people tend to find that, although I think Lomax is a lefty. Gaskell's doing the majority of the distribution, mind....

I know he lacks pace but Id like to see him play at loose forward. He can pass well in either direction and In his younger days had a very good kicking game. The lads aggressive In attack and defence, he's comeing along nicely.

I think he's playing the role that we have wanted for Wilkin.
