I said the same thing, it was pleasing the three young lads put in good solid displays while we was on the back foot.

Sav had his best game in a saints shirt.


Id be intrested to know what Wolves fans think of Saveilo ?

Haven't really seen anything flashy from him, but he seems to put himself into tackling a lot.

Warrington started to let saints back into the match when Sims, Hill and Harrison were off the pitch.
When those three are sat on the bench we are constantly in retreat.
We need to find a better way of coping with this or mixing the weaker defenders in a bit better.
We almost let Salford into it last week for the same reason.

I think the rule is that is the tackle is complete when the ball carrying arm touches the ground and you offload it is a penalty.

If a player offloads while upright after the ref calls held, you get the ball back.

Tough, but correct decision.

I also don't think Dwyer playing with one arm for two defensive sets on our own line helped, he was running around with his shoulder limp, before trying to go behind the defence and run alongside Ratchford at full back. Wilkin ran right at him and scored. Think we'll be without him for Catalans.

I think the problem is the gap between under 19s & SL is too great ,we need either to bring back say an under 23s or an A team format to help with the development of players so when young players are lined up against their more experienced opponents they have a better chance of competing. An extra age group would also produce more opportunity for youngsters to enter the game.

We got on top today when both teams had their big guns off having a breather. Savelio and Richards in particular getting some really good go forward and winning penalties with aggressive running.
People being a little harsh on Patton who I thought put in some good kicks - just needs to step up a bit and not drift out the game for periods.
You need to find a way of getting Ratchford on the ball in good situations more.
But the biggest difference was Roby v Clarke who was very quiet yet again

Can not argue with the Roby v Clark bit but what really annoyed me was the awarding of that try by video ref,everyone around me was gobsmacked and that was neutral fans.Now before anyone tells me im wrong i did not have a great view but even im not that blind.

The Wilkin one? What was the problem? Apart from the spineless git running at a player with one arm he did get the ball down in the end, though there is an argument over when it stopped but if Crabtree got his then I guess anything goes.

100% try - at first it looked 18" short but turns out that white line was a advert painted on the grass.

....and the arm? Perhaps the try line was painted over it!
