Quote: Saddened! "No chance. He hasn't played since October and hasn't had a pre-season, of course he's going to be rusty. Still got through plenty of work.
Saints did okay tonight. We matched them in the forwards but just didn't have the quality in the backs to take the chances. After all the crying from SL fans last season that our front rowers wouldn't be able to handle the NRL, I think they both did fine tonight.'"
Even though the won, Sydney were clearly below par last night. Any decent team should be able to nill this Saints side.
