And another thing, I think we copped a few grapple and head tackles today. Lawrence was all over the shop and the BBC picture is indicative of what I mean...

The score did flatter saints. It was a pretty poor game overall imo and it was only the last 10 mins that we really came good

Thought the Saints defence was immense and at 12-6 it almost gave way, used their experience to run the clock down and when they scored with 5 mins to go it was game over. Fartown were just waiting for the whistle and Saints made the scoreline look more one sided than the game was.

Having said that I thought we gave them a good game and a little bit of luck and we may have knicked it.

We'll take your coaches opinion over yours, which is clearly tripe! Clueless is a word that springs to mind.

Danril,

In reply to your post about Lawrence being all over the place - that was caused when he and another Giants player were tackling Sean Long to stop him scoring in the first half. The 2 Giants players clashed heads with Lawrence coming off worse. To be honest, I think both teams were guilty of a couple of grapple tackles today and this is becoming a trend as the Sky matches have had examples of this too.

I hope Lawrence is OK as he looked in a bad way.

As for the rest of the match, well played the Giants. I came across today thinking we would lose but only a teriffic defensive performance stopped you lot from winning.

Good luck for the rest of the season

As I predicted earlier in the week it was an almighty arm-wrestle for 75 minutes. We were under the cosh for most of the second half but our goal line defence was awesome.
We got a sniff on 75 mins and it was game over.
The final scoreline did flatter us and longy's drop goal was just taking the proverbial.
Does anyone know when his kicking boots come back from 'tcobblers?

Aye, you're probably right about some of the tackles. Also thought there were a fair few forward passes from both sides but at least Alibert was consistent.

Aye Consistently garbage

That picture must of been taken in the 1st set, he clashed heads with aspinwall & went off very unstable.. He wobbled straight in front of me.... I thought it was Ryan Babel the dutch whimp from Liverpool

Overall the best team won today, purely because they took their chances and we didnt, simple as that.

The ref was second rate, I wonder if he couldnt see what the saints players were doing because they were camoflaged in their green strips.

He certainly didnt see them lying on, grapple tackling or passing forward.

Ah well, any other team we would have taken to the cleaners, and the final score is just an insult to the tightness of the game.

That is certainly spot on, and if you can keep that sort of performance up all season I think you will certainly be safely into the play off positions.
