Yay!
We got a try!

If Barry gets paid by the word his wife will be flicking through the luxury holiday brochures as we speak. Shut up Barry ffs.

Damn you, RFE.
I'm watching on SKY GO, which is always behind. I thought we'd scored again...

Meadows isn’t pulling up trees on some of his tackling but has had a decent enough game. Heavy old pitch bit worried about whether a few may be carrying pulls etc.

And yet another try coming from inability to get Square at marker. Players really need to learn the rules

I know I'm biased. (And I know you don't like this kind of comment NB.) But I thought Saints were endlessly offside in defence in the first half and didn't get pulled once. But as I've said, I'm biased and have been drinking; I may well be wrong!

Still, thought we did OK!

Meadows was poor in defence!
To be fair though that was not as bad as I expected. Oli had a cracking game in my view. If miloudi and macani can click in attack they will score points, they need to communicate better in defence though
Players need to learn the rules re markers, can't get away with it this year, think over half saints points came from marker offences
On a positive don't think we got caught offside once.

I expected we’d get beaten heavier to be honest.

Some positives.

Didn’t get nilled.
Other teams supposed to be better than us will also get soundly beaten at Saints.
Oli Leyland did well as full back.
Thought we created some good chances ( including the try) that we might have made count on another night.
Some of the attempted interceptions will come off on another day.
No lack of effort. No one looked to have given up.
We can get better.

I think that we did okay, certainly there were positives and these are early days I am sure we will improve.

Oli was the stand out for me.
I think Meadows and Campo will form a good half back combination as long as Campo doesn't get too frustrated.
Wish Waine had hit Welsby harder to stop his chirping.

I too noticed how gobby that Welsby was.

He’s certainly very easy to dislike but I have a sneaking suspicion that in reality he’s OK. The one that gets me is Makinson he’s very intense/Uber competitive a la G Neville and K Sinfield. Or to put it another way he walks around with a face like a smacked ar##.
