Quote: ratticusfinch "Oh dear lord it's unbelievably good. I've said it for years now Mike Cooper is a MUCH better prop than luke Thompson. If you want to be world class then step up when you're mate is out. Walmsley is miles better and a huge loss for them tonight. The internationals burst Mr Thompsons bubble as did tonight. Hull will muller em.'"
Understand you lot are giddy after a rare win over us, but do you really believe that? Do you mean the Luke Thompson who carried Saints for months after Walmsley broke his neck ? Going into a game with only 2 props is always going to be a challenge. Throw
This is one of those days you will happily remember for years as a day you truly dismantled us with incredible flowing rugby, amazing tackles and utter domination. In reality it was far from that. It was a very close and scrappy affair with mistakes everywhere, we just weren't able to capitalise on any of yours. You scored a dive over from a yard out and your second was just a joke with the most blatant knock on and offside ever in the play before it. You handled the situation better (It could even prove over the next few weeks that you are better without Hill) but tonight is very similar to last week. You would probably win last weeks game with 13 on the field, we'd have probably won tonight if we had a few less injured.
Price got a lot of stick from you last season, but he seems to have perfected the gameplan against us and fixed whatever held you back last season. Looking forward to seeing you play Hull, think that could be a great game. Whilst not many were looking forward to this season it seems like it could be a lot more interesting than last season. Saints will still be strong when we get Walmsley, Roby, Amor, Knowles, Coote and Makinson back. Hopefully one or two will return against Hull. Hull look strong and you look to be back in contention now, even Wigan look like they'll be competitive this season, but they don't seem capable of winning anything to me with that pack.
