Saints 16 v 36 Bradford
Poor half backs , no kicking game.
No pace in the backs.
Lack of aggression up front.
Better lads playing at Thatto and brook u18

Dis Welsby and Dodd play. They looked pretty good last year or are they still too young?

Welsby played, as a 1st year u19.
Dodd still in scholarship only 15/16

I notired this, was quite surprised. In terms of full strength, how did St's line up?

That was full strength as far as I am aware. Some massive mistakes made on recruitment over last couple of years.

Interesting.

What makes you say that there's been mistakes with recruitment, Northern?

The trouble is they take them too young, whilst some quality players develop a bit later

They have recruited lads who were physically bigger at 15/16 but poor skill levels. The more skilful but not developed were overlooked. These lads still playing community rugby have now developed and have a better skill set.
