Yes true but no where as good as last year, , and they have lost to the smellys and drew with kr and losing badly tonight.

Beware the backlash.
Anderson will expect a reaction.
Unless we can get another prop back we may as well wave a white flag!
But the scoreline is surprising but not a shock.
I think Catalans poor start was more of a shock.

I remember a year ago Jon Wilkin getting a lot of flak for suggesting that standards in SL were not what they were.

This was rubbished as Wilkin being bitter just because Saints weren't winning everything.

But could it be that he is right? Have standards in SL really improved in the last 4 or 5 years?

That Cats chairman must have given them 1 hell of a rollicking last week as they looked a completely different team tonight.Not many teams would have beaten them on that display.

Hudds was poor tonight, let's hope they continue it next week, drop Myler and put rach and o'b in the half's and matty to start at full back snd we woll win next week.

no it will be the best league weve ever had now saints are top..dont take to much notice of what wilkin says,

Looking at Higham's studded face in the Guardian TS might try Myler at hooker .

Beginning to think that might have been the peak of theircseason!

Payback for sticking his knees in Flower's face as he got up!

You stupid boy..... everyone does that at the play the ball its neither Dangerous or a house trick. It goes on, just like a flop, a hand under the ball, a push on the back. Was Flower injured in anyway by it ??

yet somehow in your loving stupid world of half wits you think someone deserves to have their face slashed to bits.

enjoy your eight point hammering of us but do us a favour and love off.

now come tfb lets be fair about this higham should get a ban just like mcchloride,and tony smith an eight match ban for helping the nrl teams on how to beat wigan..we all know you cant obstruct wigan in there quest for glory

I believe Wilkin once apportioned blame towards having cameras in the dressing rooms for Saints 2008 GF defeat.

You missed 'convincing' 8 point hammering.

or 1 try to 2 try mauling.

If I was Brad Dwyer and that happened, I'd walk straight into Tony Smith's office and tell him he needs to get his head out of the sand and stop protecting these under-performing big name players, and stop ignoring young players, who are desperate to show they can do much better (which wouldn't be hard to do considering how poor Myler is).

Coincidentally, and with every possible ounce of respect for Saints, the fact that they are top right now suggests Wilkin was right. He must be giggling behind the scenes.

And our game against Wigan last thursday - and, no, not from a result point of view - was one of the worst games between the two that I've seen in a long, long time.
