| Saints fans need not worry. They have that up and coming number 7 coming through the ranks. James Graham i think his name is.......
Very elusive runner of the ball, never seemed to get tackled all night.
Needs to stop trying to get the easy yards does Graham and put his head down and start running the ball like he is capable.
Eastmond should just go now. If not he needs dropping.

Easier to name the ones who played well I'm afraid. Wilkin, Roby and to a lesser extent Wellens did nothing wrong, the rest.......

It is easy for me to say this because you have lost, but Graham is in no way Skipper material.
He has started to look for the easy route more often than not and seems to believe that the opposition will fall for his last minute pass, even though he has started trying it more often than not. It was a neat little trick 2 years ago but it is blatantly obvious to anyone what will happen.
He really went into hiding tonight and seemed more than happy to let others run the ball out of Saints half.
He might have been injured mind you, he was in a bit of a state after than huge hit from Carvell.
HE has made his name as a pure athlete that will just keep picking the ball up time and time again, relentlessly.
He needs to get back to doing that because he just looks so jaded atm

Totally agree he is either suffering from burnout or his mind his elsewhere (NRL?). I think he tries to do too much, as you suggest tries to be a prop, captain and half back. Someone needs to reign him in or drop him for a few matches.

| James Graham needs to stop whinging at the ref and realise that when he's not getting wound up by other, more experienced props, he's in the top two or three in the country.
Eastmond is clearly not good enough for super league.
Roby, Wellens, Flannery and Clough were good for Saints tonight.

Gaskell looks like a talent also. Looked a little timid tonight but early days for the lad.

| When no one knew that he didn't like getting hit in the first 5 minutes of a game. What exactly are his amazing attributes? Pace.....oh. That's it.
