I don't agree with that, maybe its my perception? Laffranchi, Perry and LMS do not seem to me to be big for props, my perception was they are all similar size to Larne, our smallest prop. Puletua is bigger but similar in size to Feilden, they did not have anyone of the size and bulk of Eorl & Kopczak. I thought we had a size advantage in the back row too.

Wire, Leeds, HKR and Catalans will all certainly have bigger packs than Saints, probably Wigan, London and Bradford's run on pack will also be bigger.

Lots of good players in the Saints pack when they click but they don't seem huge to me.

Think Nathan must be going down the mobility route again,as all the Saints players looked very lean,with the exception of one prop forward.Manu for example looked a lot slimmer,though it was his bulk that caused us problems when he was at Hull.

Too big, too strong ,too good,WOW.

I agree a few areas we need to improve- saints allowed to offload far too often -and I'm afraid to say jerry looked lacking defensively again a number of times, thankfully the others covered well.

one of the best performances i've seen in recent years,certainly up there with the semi final wins.
we were sublime from start to finish and saints had no answer to us,that was as big a stuffing we could ever have imagined giving st helens at home!
but... lets not get carried away and expect that level of performance every week now.

Seriously we were not sublime from start to finish.
we made a lot of errors, there were moments of confusion and lack of co-ordination at times that we were allowed to get away with

More than once Brough and Robbo had to scramble on the last play
A lot of time they were able to look dangerous on the roll but let themselves down with poor offloading

If we had been sublime we would have put 60 on them and nilled them to boot.

We were good, no doubt, but Saints were poor

That there is room for improvement is nothing but a benefit to us.

just goes to show what having real props can do !

May I say a belated congratulations to Huddersfield for them putting the X-factor back into RL.
Too many things are predictable and I for one expected them to get a drubbing at Saints.
But no ........

I would love a club like Huddersfield to win the title of Champions this season.
It would be a breath of fresh air.
Keep it going.

cheers stand off-ish,we hope too that in our lifetime we can say we were champions of the rugby league at least once but it's unlikely.

amazing what playing good players in positions they are good at and are happy playing can do,maybe our previous coach could learn from that

There probably were negatives from the game and obvious flaws we need to work on but hell......we've just stuffed Saints on their own patch, the 1st time we've won there since Crackers and Ivor were only just approaching middle agedom

...for one week lets sod the negatives and celebrate this superb victory, we've got another 26 weeks to moan

I remember going to Wigan 1st game of season last year. I came back thinking we world beaters. How wrong was I.....

if we cant enjoy wins like this then we never can!!


i say enjoy!!
