| Whilst Peet has quite rightly lauded O Neill as one of the best young players in SL in his press conference, it’s also refreshing to see him give huge credit too to Delaney. I’ve mentioned him on here months ago as a real standout and someone with huge potential to be playing prop at 19 and not looking out of place.
I know Hill has been good too but Delaney has played way more minutes this season.
Well done to Peet for his comments.

| Two brilliant teams on display tonight, playoff intensity.
Think Saints got the bounces of the ball tonight and it could have easily gone the other way

| That was play off intensity tonight. Leigh surprised and impressed me with their ability to compete at that level. I think they have more to say in the comp this year.

I agree on that. Watching the Academy last week Stu, I am not convinced that Noah Stephens will make it, I know that may not be a popular view but he looks too cumbersome to me.

Business end of the season the MRP has altered its approach over the last few weeks, less suspensions more fines.

I don’t think it’s that this week. I think it’s more the comments from Salford and the real push through social media of fans from all clubs pleading with them to show sense.
That Saints v Leigh game had everything- biff, intensity and some real hits. You only had to see the reaction on Twitter from fans of all clubs loving the game.
I was fully expecting lots of bans to be handed out yet no one has been banned. If Watkins high tackle was a yardstick then I expected Percival to cop a ban.
I genuinely think this week has made the whole process have a long and hard look at the system.

Just signed a professional contract and is with the first team next year so I guess we’ll see.
He’s been training with the first team this season at times so the hard work starts now. He’s certainly got the raw potential and has been very impressive when I’ve seen him.
I know Rogues rates him highly

| Walmsley named in the 21 man squad for Friday. Whilst I don't think he will play this week I think he will next week.
I was told he would be back for the play offs and posted the same on Red Vee, not many thought it was true but looks like the rumours were true.
That's a huge boost going into the play offs.

Just seen that, and it'll surely rattle a few sides.
FWIW, I'm more fearful of Paasi; Wigan always seem to struggle to contain him, but do a good job on Walmsley. When's Paasi due back? I'm right in saying he's definitely out of this year as Asiata did a proper job on him? Saints are looking ominous for the rest of the league currently...

June/July next year for Paasi if indeed he does return. I'm not 100% sure he will personally, I can see him retiring.

| Saints at full strength bar Paasi. The bookies favourite and still the team to beat.

I am being slightly pedantic but Wingfield also missing who normally plays when fit. It's questionable whether Delaney has overtaken him now though.

Wait until after Friday and then we can add Hopoate to the list again

Fair enough. Perhaps I shouldn’t base my opinion on the few matches I have seen him play. As you say, time will tell.
