And as for Watson . do not compare him with Price , one has a quality squad the other a bunch of cast offs

We are 2 defeats from 3 now. Thats with 2 marquee players, full cap and 2 players exempt.

Watson had one of those years with a decent squad, currently his team look like a rag tag bunch who are as a whole not as skilled as last years squad. If he shows he can manage them to better performances then he could be considered for a bigger job, until then he would off my radar. Our media manager/ CEO will no doubt be watching his progress or lack of it.

Not being a fan of Price, my only replacement would be Wane but that may not be possible.

Playing behind a beaten pack, but still has the most try assists so far.

And 3rd most metres gained.

Saints 6 Roosters 8

The play the ball is another level from Roosters. I think they're just making it look a game. Can't see Saints living with Roosters in.the last 15 min

Good first half, I can't see saints winning this. Roosters are sharper, more physical and they manage the ruck speed much better.

Not bad from a team that's not played a game yet..saints gave it there all but we are miles behind the Aussies....

Yeah they didn't shame themselves at all, roosters are just better. If saints had coote and grace they would have been better matched. They'd still have lost though.

Roby had been a great player in his day and a great servant if Saints and one player I always want the best for...but tonight the gulf if him and Friend is at different ends of the scale.
This could be a Benny Westwood scenario...1 season too many.

Saints were superb tonight......you'd have sold your ass to philip schofield for the chance to play in a world club championship game, come back when or rather if you ever get the chance to play in one

No pal...they had a dig...that is it. Roosters never got out of 2nd gear to make it look good.

In that case why did it take them to the 74th minite to put the game to bed, surely they could have stepped it up a gear a bit sooner, come back when your club of perennial losers finally plays in one

Anyone whos ever played the game at any level knows if you dont go 100% and only play in "second gear" you are going to get hurt , so your ignorance is shining tbrough once again

And that from a banjo playing clown who follows a joke of a club who struggled yo beat the leagues whipping boys last night.......or did you not get out of second gear ?.

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.

I refer you to my post above.

And i refer you to the last 65 years
