I think potter will want BK at fullback, therefore the halves will be Jeffries and Herbert. royston therefore will miss out. Hard to believe, but I think Potter will want the best option in the spine and BK running off the halves is hard to go past. shad will be the one to miss out which is a mistake as he should be in the side but I think Whitehead in the has fixed a lot of the leakage and Potter will want the best defensive side he can get.

Herbert played okay, but didn't have a cracking game imo. Some good kicks, but he still needs to take the line on more and put people through gaps.

Re Shad & Brigss not getting back in side as today was a good performance, i am sure they will be knocking on Potters door and reminding him they were left out after playing well.

Anyone know what is the matter with Platt?

In position to deal with two kicks that were potential scores for Saints. Got through a fair defensive stint as well this evening. I wouldn't give him a new deal right now but I thought he had one of his better games for us considering the conditions.

Agreed. More than that he looked solid and confident, putting in some good kicks (along with Jeffries) which kept the pressure on Saints. It probably gives Potter a bit of a headache but it's good overall to have players in competition for places because it allows options. Roll on next week!!
