Would be good,very good,to put one over on the Stains.

All tickets behind the sticks sold out today I think. Phoned at 9 am and 45 left. At 3 pm only tickets left were on the side so that where I will be.

a good day all round, still prefer it to be back in manchester though!

Bewildering that a team with only 6 competition points before Sunday and with 11 losses against them could put on a performance like that.

Not complaining like.

Why Manchester is Shiite compared to Newcastle.

I wouldn't if I were you. Much as I wanted you to lose for the simple reason that I want the bottom four sorted as quick as possible I thought you played some fantastic expansive RL. Saints are not what they used to be but still take some beating. Some of your outside play was brilliant to watch, sure it was clearly your day and everything came off but great all the same. It was particularily ironic against Saints for whom that kind of thing used to be the norm.

SL really has evened up a lot.

7ou could always walk 10 minutes to town and there is loads to do. Museums art galleries castles hadrians wall etc.

The fans zone at the ethics is there because te ground is on a industrial zone with nothing else to do.THE ONLY PLACE WORSE THAN TE ETIHAD WAS MURRAYFIELD

Not for everyone is it closer

The point of going is to watch the rugby, I'm not here for a sightseeing trip. My kids want to go to the fans zone between games - well they did but in their words at Newcastle "there's no point it's just rubbish" and remember that's the bit that "outsiders" see.

Having watched the replay,the first thing that sprung to mind was that this game appeared to be a role reversal of StH vs Fartown games of the mid to late noughties,when Long would be firing out passes to the likes of Lyon,Albert,Talau etc. and these type of speedsters would destroy us on the edges.Then Long would kick us back to near our in goal and our honest toilers would just to trundle it down the middle hoping for some sort of break.On this occasion it was our guys causing the problems on the edges,and Brough with the deep kicks.

Had a bit of luck with the Brough forward pass and the Jake kick,though that Connor try came off the back of some good structure.

Still a few errors mixed in on our part,yet none of our players could have been accused of putting in an iffy performance in this one imo.

agree about the fan zone being pants, didnt even bother with it this year as was not much last year

as for the game, when i saw our backs v saints backs i was confident if we beat them in the forwards we would hammer them in the backs, not many can compete with cudjoe and mcgillvary if we lay the platform

The left edge wasn't too shabby on Sunday neither,obviously not as naturally gifted as the right side,but efficient,which is what we really need from them.

Our centres were our best players I thought. Both Connor and cudjoe looked dangerous.
