Just checking now, can somebody enlighten me on the rule. When Meli(I think) kicks it down the line only for the full back's feet to be in touch when gathered, because both feet were on the line he is completely off the field of play so should it have been Hull's head and feed?

The ball has bounced and is still in the field of play when the Hull player catches it,correct call was made Saints scrum.

Cheers for that

Well played to both teams today.

Lots of errors, contentious refereeing (for both sides) and a great last 10 minutes. A drop goal to win would have been a travesty.

We scored some outstanding tries but Saints response led by James Robey was inspired.

I thought the effort of the players was outstanding, if we cvan maintain that attitude when all of our missing players are back we'll be some team.

I don't even think we were particularly bad in the first half, if anything we forced play a bit much in good positions and although they scored some good tries they were from gifted field position. I expected us to get back into the game although not as soon as we did and perhaps that was a bad thing as they had plenty of time on the clock to get back into the game without panicking and making errors. Eastmond tried hard but was way off with his timing of the pass and a lot of our attacks died when he got the ball - he's either got to get the ball out earlier or attack the line and delay the pass to the link man as he's making it easy for the defence to read the rest of the play.

Credit to the young lads, Magennis got through a lot of work and I like the look of Ashe who seemed very confident in his ability which bodes well.

No. Our first choice half back with his kicking game which was our biggest weakness today imo.

How forward was Hornes pass to Yeaman!!
Cant believe the "neutrals" aren't bringing that one up.
Well played the "A" team anyway,great resolve again.

We can bang on all night about forward passes,penalties ,injuries,etc,etc,.Nothing is going to change.As far as I am concerned it was a tremendous match,played in a good spirit.

, try having 5 halfbacks out.

You had 3 injuries, we had 10. Its not comparable whatsoever.

Long, Radford and who else?

Wellens, Pryce, Flannery, Moore, Clough, Wheeler, Lomax, Gaskell, Forster, Makinson.


I would't come to this board complaining about injuries if I was you. Just be glad we saw a great game of rugby.

You're right we do seem to have a fantastic production line that can bring in young players to fill a void to some extent. I would like to see a fully fit team at some point this season though.

2 forward passes? The one for Yeamans third was dubious but the others were all fine.

Nah,the wind caught it.

you and we are seeing the future best playing now.our youngsters can all be proud of their performances thus far.
