I agree, flannery had his best game in a long while and I'm starting to really warm to Laffranchi.

Sia was top class, run hard and tackles harder.

LMS is really impressing me since the bulls game, he didn't do great game time tonight but the last month or so he's really impressed me. He runs with a purpose now and his attitude has improved.

LMS seems to be developing into a great impact player. He's probably the quickest prop in Super League at present and is a great athlete. He also leaps like a salmon. I think that is a set piece we should use more often. LMS v Tomkins in a battle for a high ball? Only one winner there.

I think he's playing really well and is giving us impact from the bench.

LMS plays great when the opposing forwards are pitiful, as they were for Widnes. But he was nowhere against Wigan, for instance. For LMS to impress me he has to work as hard in defence, and as hard driving forward when we are being challenged as when we are not.

I thought Shenton had a good game tonight and I was pleased for him. He saw a lot of ball, obviously a tactic, and there may have been a couple more tries had Swift been more experienced. Swift must be about the fourth different winger Shenton's had to play inside, which can't be easy.

Laffranchi has impressed me all season. He got stuck in from the get-go and hasn't let up. Likewise Flannagan.

Hohaia was good again tonight but then he had plenty of space as the Widnes forwards didn't put up a fight. His kicking game was excellent again.

Yep I meant Forster.

Good to hear LMS is still performing well, Hes looking good now. Laffranchi is class.

Cant complain when you nill any team really.

So all in all was Saints better than the last 3 weeks?

Hohaia had a good game AGAIN?

Excellent kicking game AGAIN?

You've got to be taking the pi$$, hohaia has been poor, not from the want of trying as he's always putting in 100% but he's been average at best with only one good game which was against Leeds and IMO walked man of the match.

His kicking game was ok tonight but it's been awfull this year, totally shocking at times to be honest.

The weird thing for me with lance, is that lomax certainly benifits from having him at #6 for some reason.

I thought it was a profesional performance against poor oposition,i have just one concern from tonights game and thats our unwillingness at times to pass to a player better placed to score,there was a lot of white line fever tonight.Also it shouldnt take the whole of the West stand to point out a 5-1 overlap 10 meters from the opponents try line

I seriously want some of whatever you're on. You must be joking. He was our best forward by an absolute mile against Wigan and the only one making decent yards.

You really think he's quicker than Larne Patrick? LMS is a mobile prop but no prop get's near to Larne for pace.

How's Flan going for you? Very talented young player who I feel could be outstanding if he's allowed to utilise his ball skills.

Totally agree with this, lance IMO doesn't have a kicking game, he holds the ball too long slowing the game, and continuously tries the dummy when its not on. Im not one for slagging of our own players but I certainly expected more from him. Hopefully the best is yet to come

Great inside pass set move for Wellos try tho!!!!

Most successful teams are built around partnerships, and often the value of the partnership is greater than the individual parts. Regardless of hohaias shortcomings, we have to give this partnership chance to develop for the good of the team. Really need to work on tge kicking game though.

Agree, our 6 or 7 are not natural half backs, but build that partnership and let them develope into the roles might be the better option than swapping and changing.
