Bob on

Nearly nicked it (undeservedly) against the league's form team...
Never happy losing against Saints, but was always a danger after playing last week IMO.

That performance from Sandow is the worst I have seen from a half for a long time.

Penny back in for king asap please

Bring back Penny. Toby not good enough at the moment

Two point win as a result of LMS attacking Hughes mid tackle, and then Walmsley throwing himself on the floor on the back of that. Farcical. And it'll be Hughes who cops the ban for retaliating. We were not very good tonight, that coupled with Saints brilliant defense, but how they got those two calls is ridiculous frankly. The Evans no try is also hard to take when it was sent up as a try and turned down yet Manfredi was given a try a month back for not even touching the ball down. Can't tell if I'm more p*ssed off with our display or with the refs once again being a bunch of s.

most of the team were way off tonight. Unsurprising given the 5 day turnaround against a team with a 2 week break. Evans never a winger - need Penny back in asap and give Toby a few weeks off. Saints are bang average and that is being kind - a decent team would have ran away with that. Instead they won it following some theatrics from Walmsley.

Also, Ratchford was terrible. Twice for their tries he completely ran past the man with the ball, as last line of defence you hit the guy with everything you've got, not anticipate a pass that isn't going to be thrown. Not to mention twice having to run 30+ metres to pick up a kick down field. Get Penny back now. Toby has potential and I want to see him grow, , but this time of the season is not when to be putting him in there. Had Evans been in the centre and Penny on the outside, he'd have launched himself in the air and got that try.

It can't be that hard to take. His foot was clearly shown in touch. Sufficient evidence to overrule the referee's on field decision.

Cunningham is looking more and more like that fat kid from the Cadburys Fudge advert from the 70's

Anyone forgot the interchange we never used, didn't see Wilde come on the pitch what a waste of a bench spot.

His heel does look like it hits the line for the smallest millisecond, which is sufficient, I don't argue that, it's only hard to take because having been sent up as a try, and hearing refs over the mic many times this season saying "I haven't enough evidence to 100% overturn that sop I have to stick with the on field decision" when there actually clearly has been evidence, just leaves a sour taste. I knew we wouldn't win though, I've always said that we are never the kind of team to nick a game, like Saints are, we'll come ever so close, but we'll still finish just short. A white blade of grass did us tonight.

I can take a loss if it was our own fault, yes we did have some poor ideas but Bentham was a disgrace.

5 day turn around and only lose by 2 and almost win it right at end, think it's saints who have to think themselves lucky.

Thought we looked very light at the start of the second half with Hill and Sims both off and no Cox and no Bailey when we should have been taking the initiative after a lacklustre end to the first half.

Ratchford's defence was poor a few times tonight. In fact most of the time we hung back in defence throughout the game. Not just tonight neither as I think we allow far too many metres to the opposition against the top sides, we're not aggressive enough. Epitomised by Ratchford's effort on McCarthy-Scarsbrook for the opening try, it was pitiful! (Highes will get the blame for leaving a hole but a good defensive full back finishes that tackle with Hughes round his legs)
