Well I'm a bit gob-smacked. Best rugby of the season from the 30-minute mark. Outstanding

We'll do our best Pal. we'll do our best

Really? You were gloating. That is the only word for it. Squirm all you like but your meaning was absolutely clear. The fact that you haven't got the good grace to admit it reflects badly on you.
("Why would I want us to fail"? Because it gave grist to your "Smith out" mill, that's why.)

And here's me thinking I wouldn't have to fork out for OT this year. Bugger.

It gets worse, how in your words am i gloating, it gives grist to my Smith out mill ??? so on one good win all is forgiven tbh i dont even know why i responded to this my opinion is my opinion and im entitled tough if you dont like it im sure il get over it.

36 unanswered points and a comfortable win.

How would you explain it?

You should always take kare before posting on here.

"We've trained well all week"

Take a bow Harvey Livett, King of Comedy.

class that..... from those posters who have made reasonable debates as to the poor form of the club this season, I dont think any of them have stooped to personal insults....

I'm guessing being in a clique ( ) gives you a certain allowance to post stuff like that....

If anyone's interested I was Happy and I clapped tonight...except when we let the kick off bounce ....and also when we kicked out on the full (almost out of the ground) ... I wasnt happy then

but on the whole I thoroughly enjoyed that.... especially as I took my two youngest boys into the south stand for the first time.

enjoy your win ....I did......

by the way we are still a way off the required level.....still some ordinary last tackle options and stuff like tackled in touch on tackle 2 etc... but that's for another time when people aren't so precious

"enjoy your win" Our win surely? Come on TFB join the "cliché" whatever that means?

I don't really understand why we have a v Saints thread, we win, which looked unlikely after the start we had and we're arguing with each other......school playground stuff and a bit disappointing TBH.

I quite enjoyed the game, Livett well deserved MOM a couple of mistakes early on didn't let his head drop 1-17 all put in a shift, enjoy watching Jullien and thought Hughes had one of his better games this season and for a team missing Hill, Ratchford, Clark, Currie and Brown and beating Saints (I know they are struggling too) then let's savour the moment together?

Noticeable how when we get beat the pages fill up about how bad we are, yet when we win there is hardly a word said.

Very pleasing to see a more confident display tonight & Bentham made sure our defence got a good work out in the 2nd half. But ,we stood firm. Saints are not at their best either but we had some good performances out there tonight from 1 to 17 & an increase in confidence will do the team nothing but good. Westwood ,at 34,still delivers the goods & we have some good youngsters in the mix but confidence will be the key to how they progress.

One man made the difference when he came on last night. Take a bow young Morgan Smith

As soon as he stepped into dummy half he controlled the game tieing the markers up and delivering short passed onto the forwards. Not many players hand chop forwards like Kyle Amor in half, never mind a 19 year old lad. His technique is spot on. I know he plays in the gales but he looked like a natural at 9 tonight.

Last night resembled the Hull away game. Poor start, clawed our way back into it by half time. Difference was that against Hull we lost all momentum in 2nd 40 and Sneyd's kicking game kept us pinned in our own half. Big defence, fatigue, points conceded, match lost. 2nd half this week Wire kept possession, dominated territory not through kicking ( nb needs to improve) but through quick PTBs and sharp, direct running.

Far from a champion performance but it does demonstrate how a few small things can turn a game on its head, especially when sides are more evenly matched. As for [ikaretaker[/i, others have pointed out that the term 'happy clapper' writes off all of us who sincerely wish the best for our club ( in my case for well over forty years ) but don't necessarily think that throwing out an established coach during a season with no realistic prospect of finding anyone better is such a great idea. You support the club your way, allow us to support it in ours.

Well I certainly didn't expect that result, especially at 14 down! Fair play to the players for not letting their heads drop. I thought the forwards played well as a group. Ben Westwood is still an important part of the team when he stays (just) on the right side of the ref, the aggression definitely adds a spark.
Livett was excellent and Smith definitely added improved the team when he was on. Fair play to Rhys Evans as well, I had forgotten he could run with the ball!
One swallow etc but onwards and upwards hopefully.
On a side note did anyone else wonder what Phil Clarke was on about at the end, when he predicted Saints to finish top 4 and us much lower. I don't have a problem with his prediction but his reasoning left me completely baffled.
