Enjoyed it. Good to see some live rugby

Really like the look of Kyle Amor.
Looks a great signing

I don't want to see lance in a saints shirt ever again.

Wheeler needs to be on the pitch if he is fit, I don't care where he plays.

Josh is looking good, although I've always been impressed with him

Let's hope Walsh isn't seriously injured or we in trouble.

My worry before we'd played a game this year was lack of strike power in the backs and lack of ideas and after seeing two games so far this year I'm even more worried with our lack of strike power.

There's plenty of competition for most positions
Hope they find the right combinations pretty quick this year or at least give players a good run to cement a spot

I don't think there's a lack of strike power
I think the potential is huge for the young players.

What happened to Walsh? Did he collide with kyle?

Not sure how he did it but from what I'm told, he has a jaw injury.

Great.
If he is out, hopefully not for too long then

Hopefully not too serious for Walsh.

His kicking game was decent. Scored from one kick and very nearly from another.

Amor was impressive and made good yards. Manu was impressive. Lomax didn't get his hands on it enough, we seemed to want to turn the ball back inside a lot.

Hohaia is a disgrace.

Pretty much agree with all of that.

Lance, lance, lance! Its seriously like he's working hard on not playing for us! what freaking idiot put him in the NZ warriors team for 10 years?? He's a worse 6 than when Hanley thought he'd found a better 6 than Tommy in Trindal! I seriously can't see where he could improve our 17 at all. Shocking, shocking player.

The penalty count was horrendous, but plenty positives to be taken from the game, and plenty to wotk on

Apart from Walsh I didn't see anything tonight that would give me confidence for the season ahead. We scored three tries, two which were just lucky and never looked like scoring at any other time.

Lance gave one pass that backfired, apart from that he did ok.

I disagree. We came to close to scoring in the first half when Walsh hit Percival with a cut out ball but the ball to Swift was poor. Otherwise he'd have strolled in. Roby came close to scoring from his own kick in the 1st half too.

In the second half Hohaia and Walmsley were both held up inches from the line and Dawson was close to scoring from a Walsh kick.

To say we never looked like scoring is ridiculous.

And the dropped ball from the bomb that led to the last try.

Discipline was a major issue tonight. Bentham wasn't great, but we won't win games by conceding the amount of needless penalties we did. I also think our second phase needs looking at. Walsh did eveyrthing expected of him: directed the side well, controlled the game, and his kicking game was decent. When we found ourselves in decent positions though, we just didnt do enough. We looked a stand-off short IMO. Lomax is easy to defend out the back when your 6 isn't quite doing enough. We created opportunities, but then hit the wrong runner or made the wrong decision.

Positives. I thought Amor played well once again and worked hard. Great to see Robes score as well. Walsh, as I say, did everything expected of him and appeared to direct the team well. Hopefully there is nothing too serious with him. I would certainly give Wheeler a chance at 6 at some point. I think he is what we were missing tonight in the sense that he is a genuine stand-off who can take the line on and make decisions.

I think we can take a lot from it on the whole. A few positives but plenty to improve on IMO.

That's the problem. We came close to scoring.
