to be fair to Wire we were well in front with about 5 to play when that happened. They already knew they'd won and maybe the concentration and intensity levels had gone from the game

if this had been stopped we would never have got to hear Rick Astley "Never Gonna Give You Up" so i commend Monas in his poor tackle

I watched that again and whilst yes, Monas should have made an attempt, it was actually more Vinnie's fault. Monas was watching the next man, Vinnie should have been sliding across but was a little slow and that was how the gap opened up. Monas glared at Vinnie immediately.

I thought Monas could/would/should've flattened him tbh, he was running at his right shoulder, which is generally most players' good shoulder. The inside push also could/would/should've been better, but it hardly made an impression on the scoreline, just suppose I'm looking for the 'next level', which will come under Smith I'm sure; that pride in the defensive line of even when the game has gone, you want to keep the opposition to an absoloute minimum scoreline.

Agreed, did you see Potter interviewed after they had put 68 on Cas? He said he wasn't happy they had conceded 22 points, they have alot of work to do.

I was going to make a thread about him. I find it very refreshing to see a Saints coach who doesn't believe the world owes them a result.
You barely heard a peep out of Catalans last year, and you get the impression he only speaks to the press when he really has to.
I know we'd like more media exposure as a game, but I'd prefer it to be "We need to work harder in defence" rather than "No wonder that bloody referee hasn't been given a Sky game".

Huddersfield always seem to be able to stop us playing our normal game and make it difficult for us to break them down no it's a game i don't relish especially with the added factor of the season they are having so far.

Cas slowed us down at the play the ball just like Huddersfield always do which makes for a very frustrating game to watch IMO.

Yet, funnily, probably the best game I've seen this year was Cas-Hudds.
