Grix's brain exploded, what was he doing?

Under Cunningham it looked like he was heavily shackled on what he was allowed to do, as were other players.
Since Holbrook took over he looks a different player. I think Justin gives the players more freedom to go out and just play.

Anyone who saw Richardson at academy level would have known he is a very good prospect.

Personally would go with him and Lomax in the halves with Fage on the bench.

Fage to fill in at hooker while also supporting an inexperienced Richardson?

Would make sense, but you would think that's a decent amount of cap space sitting in the stands...?

Saints are used to having a large proportion of our cap sitting in the stands. We've had Lomax out for much of the last four seasons, Walsh who was out for much of the time he was here, and Barba sitting out 12 of the last 13 weeks. It's what we do.

Grix has been outstanding for us all season; it's unfortunate that an error at a crucial time in a crucial game will be what most neutrals who only see televised games remember him for, because he's been one of our best players.

Gutting to lose like that - but that's sport; unlike some of our more fickle fans, I'm just happy that we're in contention for a top 4 finish, given the dire predictions that most people made about our chances this season. And congratulations to Saints - that was a lucky escape.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned them turning down the 2 when they had a penalty under the sticks on 35 mins at 12 - 6. I know we can't say that the game would have been a draw because of the other variables that affects, but I still think it was a dumb move not to make it a two-score game (and did at the time).
