His 2 tries were in stark contrast to his overall performance which ,particularly in the seond half ,was appalling.Throwing wild passes ,kicking on last tackle when we had overlaps out wide

That was incredibly harsh I feel. He fielded the ball very well and attacked well. Sure he didn't do everything perfect but it was his first for a good while.

I agree, he did ok. Nothing special but it's his first game at super league level for a while.

Few stupid passes and drop balls but stepping up to super league when he's been playing at lower league level is tough.

Whoa!! Way, WAY too harsh! The lad had been playing centre at Leigh until a week ago, he gets half a day's training at best and has to play fullback for Saints today. He took his two tries well and defended as well as he could given his unfamiliarity with the role. He panicked a couple of times but I would expect that from someone thrown in the deep end, especially a young guy who has been playing with another team this season.

I thought he did well and he gave it everything he had.

Took his tries well, made the kind of mistakes a young player will always make.

Probably made more yardage in his kick returns today than Wellens has done all season so far.

I thought Armstrong, on balance, did ok today.

Ok folks...

On the radio, I can't afford the ludicrous prices at Widnes and wouldn't be able to make some games due to Uni commitments and such.

But anyway...... Armstrong.

I enjoy your match thread. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, appreciated.

Shame you didn't get a season ticket. Works out at £18 per month for the East Stand. Recently I've effectively been paying £6 per game! A steal.

Anyway, I think Tom Armstrong will do just fine with some time spent training with the team. I don't know who on earth Royce is going to slot in at fullback for our trip to Hull but I thought Armstrong put in a great stint there given it's not his usual position and he was called on at short notice. Good on him. I hope he gets a chance to have some serious game time with Saints now.

Didn't have the lump sum available for a season ticket.

I have a feeling it may be Foster at full back with Armstrong slotting in on the wing, that is if Makinson doesn't recover from his dead leg.
