If he had half a decent game last you would have beat Saints comfortably - he was shocking - does he actually look where he his passing the ball?

Have to agree but Saints were solid last night. We missed Brown last night.

I'm very aware of how rubbish Saints have been for a lot of this season, and indeed have readily admitted it. However, on this occasion you are talking total bollox. We defended last night like our lives depended on it. Had we not given our own silly penalties away - something that needs to be addressed - we would have nilled Hudds. The reason for that was our defence, which we used to pin Hudds down, just as they used it against us in the CC semi. Likewise, Hudds defended very well themselves. We were helped with one try in that a forward pass went undetected, but other than that Hudds never stopped their own pressure all night. It was down to who had the best defence and last night, it happened to be us. It would not have mattered who Hudds played, we were up for it last night and we had clearly worked hard on rediscovering the one thing we really can do well when we want to and that is defend.

You're not wrong. It's OK all the TV pundits saying Saints are past it but they have done everything they needed to. Lost a few games that they should really have been expected to win but still finished top two, home game for the play offs and lifted it a level last night. Job done so far and one game from Old Trafford. Well played Saints.

Robinson was left to do too much running himself last night, odd team selection from our coach too I think didnt help matters.

Hopefully a few more players in contention this Friday

agree robinson was terrible, once again a big games and he doesnt perform just like the cup final

Tell me any halfback that can perform with the amount of space and time he had last night?

Our forwards are the ones that failed not Robinson, same as they did in the CC final.

Robinson was trying everything but gettting smothered by saints, not that he was being given many options by his players, no runners, no one looking for work.

Dont blame Robinson for this one, he is one halfback who had no support.

In intense games your time and space is cut. When it happens Robbo is found wanting.

His performance in the CCF was dreadful.

So was the performance of about 12 other players on that day too.

In fact, tell me of any players that came out of that game with much glory intact?

Yes his time and space is cut down, but when he has no runners, no support play what is he supposed to do?

Pass it to a Saints player for a clear run to the line?

Lunt was the one who stood out that day for me...he seemed to be trying IMO.


As for Robinson I tend to agree with some of the comments made. I feel that he holds on to the ball too long, he is very readable at times. You can tell when the pressure has got to him because he goes red like a beetroot and looks panicky. He has had good games for us but he can be frustrating to watch at times. Last night from the get go I knew he wasnt in the right frame of mind.

IMO we are struggling for a decent half back combination that regularly goes out there and runs the show.

Agreed
