sounds a terrible game

At least we are keeping it tight so far. Do you think there is a 'cockney' translation of this commentary?

spoke too soon!

If he is a commentator when did Ray French last watch a game to suggest Rinaldi was a little plumper than he was when he saw him last playing for Catalans!

Come on London

Disappointing do far. Where's the razzle dazzle gone? Thank god they can't kick!

Disappointing match & evening! we never really looked like scoring, also back to giving away far too many silly penalties. Second half we made Saints look good! It was the first time their crowd came to life, atmosphere so flat at times, people constantly going in and out for drinks and food!

A long expensive day. Nilled is not a good look given our last 3 (OK 2 1/2) performances.

I don't understand what happened to your team. They looked very much like ours: disjointed in attack, playing one up rugby, a bit of panic here and there. That was a shame as I was really looking forward to a good contest given what I've seen of London on the TV lately.

To be honest, the only difference between the two teams was in defence: we were better than you. Our tries were not examples of fantastic rugby or anything. We didn't take you apart in spite of the scoreline. You simply didn't defend your line with the energy I have seen from you in recent times. We (or rather, certain of our players) did defend pretty well and so with you being slightly off balance in attack we were able to keep you out but score ourselves. Had your defence been better, we would have scored a third of what we did score, if that.

The match was not helped by Silverdud who blew the pea out of his whistle. His performance was dire.

Incidentally, you have a gem in Dixon. He was your MoM by a mile tonight.

The big surprise for me was that you lacked ideas in attack, especially for a team that scored 62 vs Warrington last week. Our defence was solid enough, Gower tried everything but for some reason it wouldn't happen for you tonight. Dixon is a livewire though, never gave up. Star in the making if ever I saw one.

saints fan gospoon,couple of chances we had we bombed bvv poor ball handling from both teams to be honest. Dixon the only real positive although Gower working hard shame no real support play
First impression of langtree park not best bit then game didn't help
Ah well the pain of this year nearly over

How many Gower's are there?

The man who played against Warrington was not the same bloke on the pitch tonight.

If he was not fit, as his form tonight suggested, Rea should not have picked him. My Grannie would have had a better kicking game (apart from the one he took early which had to be retaken), and his slow short passess continue to frustrate me.

Kieran did play well, and Omari as usual was ignored, he has to move on to achieve his potential (IMO).

Wasn't at the game tonight but at this stage in the season, lacklustre performances neither surprise nor bother me.

Gower has slogged his guts out all season for little reward so surely he can be forgiven for a poor performance. Comparing him to your grannie is simplistic and juvenile IMO, the bloke has given it his all all season long. You complain about his slow short passes but the only reason these are slow is because the majority of our team are miles behind. He is one of our only creative players who attacks the line but finds little support. I have no doubt Rea will adjust things for next year however and we will reap the rewards of Gower's attacking play.

Pleased to read about Dixons continued efforts however, here is hoping he has some affinity towards the club!

Riverside red(HKR fan I believe), my understanding is that you will see more of him in "Humberside" from next year. Keep us updated on his progress

Omari showed his inexperience yet again by not knocking the ball dead when he should have done in the 2nd half, the blunder resulting in a Saints try. I assume he thought someone else was going to do it. Similar I suppose to the forward pass against Wire, and that punished by a try. No communication between the players.

I'm still trying to figure Wellens 60th minute try. I was convinced the ball hadn't touched the line and was play on until the linesman (the red haired bloke - Messer George?) came on and the try awarded. However it was a game we were never going to win after the first 5 minutes of play. Roll on the Hull KR game...
