Broken in two, or just dunked?

Totally agree with this post and especially about Kyle Eastmond. I was one who didnt want him to play for Saints again but he played very well against Hull on Bank Holiday Monday and today like you said everything went through Stand Off Jon Wilkin so he wasnt involved as much as last Monday. If he keeps going as he is (Eastmond) I would be more than happy to put the past aside and support him doing what he does best for Saints.

Eastmond had an alright game. Put Roby through into a gap on a few occasions and took the line on when in a position to do so. Ashe picked up a knock when he hit the boards behind the sticks in front of the East stand. He was limping a bit afterwards and then they replaced him with Armstrong. A wise move as he could have aggravated it further had he stayed on the pitch.

His name is blackened in my book

When Lomax is fit he goes back into the reserves

Yes- three.

Kyle - groin strain
Nathan - reccurrence of his knee injury
Andrew Dixon - hip injury

No idea where we get halves and a fullback from now, unless Makinson has recovered and Wilkin can play 6 and 7 in one go! Hudds will crucify us!

I agree. And his try was the result of some excellent support play. Most fans at the match supported Kyle. Only a small minority were pains in the backside.


Centre is where he has been playing and at Leigh he has impressed. Foster slipped into fullback after Armstrong made the big mess up with the 40-20 attempt.


I agree with that too. But Saints looked absolutely knackered at the end of the match. That's worrying, especially since we now have three new injuries to contend with.


Agree again, although MoM was Wilkin I think. Once again, he really took on the game. Should shut up those who reckoned he wouldn't back up his Hull performance!

Thaler had a poor game which is a shame, spoilt it a bit.

Want to say thanks for the credit from the Saints fans (the BBC have given us none, as per usual) and the friendly manner in the bar before the game. Credit to the club.

Eastmond just seems to be phoning it in, didnt stand out too much today. I see all the people waving money at him has got on his and his mothers nerves..... (But hes NOT going for the money!)

at the end of the game i could see ashe walking back inside, didnt look to dodgy to me...

Walking and playing are slightly different!

I think Ashe not returning to play was a precaution, given he's just come back from a serious knee injury it would be understandable not to risk pushing him further.
