Prediction? Hauraki & Elima - at least yellows

I guess we'll see if it's 'the Harris influence' or general Salford turdness (I've copyrighted that word btw) causing the performances so far.

You've missed out Olsi Krasniqi in for the yet again injured Lama Tasi - are Saints getting a forward made of biscuit?

I have Barton - Tasi looks a good `sale`.

It may be good idea to review the effectiveness of our medical team. Medical science has evolved considerably since the days of magic sponges, applying butter, rubbing it and kissing it better. Either that or they are on a tidy commission for treating players. How many more absentees through injury this year? There's only the water carrier who hasn't been on the treatment table this season

You do wonder whether someone at Saints has had a word in Tasi's ear to spend a little more time on the treatment table and less on the pitch, since all the rumours started then the actual announcement he seems to have become remarkably injury prone - or is that too cynical?

Tasi more injury prone since signing for Saints ?

Players often play with pain killing cortisone injections if further physical activity isn't going to make an injury any worse. Perhaps this is something players from other clubs are more committed to doing? I suppose it's easier to do when you are winning rather than losing every week.

Anyone know what has happened to Johnson recently and now Paterson? Cheers.

...and Chase?

A lot of big money players missing for you today, but what a fantastic team spirit. Thanks to all of them for signing my grandsons programme not one refused.

Well said fax-boys - the spirit in the camp is superb considering what has gone on this year.

NKOTT - Spoke to Rangi and he said he hopes to be back next week.

On a personal note though I wouldnt mind not seeing Cory again unless he ups his interest in the club.

Dunno about Johnson.

I thought to day we were lucky to win.

We seem at times to be clueless about everything, our attack at times was poor, standing flat is no good, we need to be standing back at least another 10 to 15 yrds and running on to the ball at speed, taking the ball then trying to get up speed is no good.

In defence we seem to confuse ourselves, we have players running around with there heads up there bums, doing at lot of shouting at not a lot of work, Im not going to name any names but our defence from some players has to improve.

We need HH to be shouting , barking out orders giving b££lings to players who need it, but for me to many players shouting at other players, and nobody listening, so the same mistakes happen time and time again.
HH has to be more vocal. He is in charge on the pitch so players must listen to him.

On that subject the coach who ever he maybe must send his instructions , through who ever, to HH, who then must tell the rest of the team of the changes the coach wants to make in the game. If HH does not agree with those changes at the time he must make that decision at the time then tell the coach why he did or did not do the changes he was told or not, but on field decisions must be HH call .

More than most we need team harmony which at times does seem to be lacking ,

But well done for today it was a win, but we need to win every game we have left to even think of being in the top 8, but it was a start, well done .

If you want a vocal captain then HH is not your man.
I'm not criticising him at all,he is what he is-a wholehearted tough forward.
During the game D Griffin was louder and more demonstrative,when he was on .

I agree with you Bonita about HH.

Club captain yes, but on field captain no, for me that would be Paterson, but that is a subject for another day.
