He will but it certainly shows that we have an embarrassment of riches in the backrow. Injuries barely affect us in that area.

Tonight proved for a stone cold fact.....................the time has come to let Bailey go at the end of this season.

A good pro, a good club man, a good influence- he's all of those but we can't hold these lads back.

As Stevo said about Tomkins last week 'they're not the future, they're the present'.

First sensible thing he said all year that.

absolutely.

I'd also consider pushing mossop up to prop, rather use him as a prop/2nd row than coley.

I'll second that, when they said Bailey would be back next week I just thought to myself so, having said that he should replace Joel for next week.

Tomkins offers plenty in attack though for me. He made a couple of mistakes but i think we can carry them now theres no Hock.

Hansen would be the man to make way for me. Thats a tough call because he was outstanding last week but made too many mistakes with ball in hand in the first half tonight and looked a little lightweight at times.

Backrow for next week for me if Lockers is out-

Joel
Bailey
Flanagan

With Mossop on the bench.

Saying that i presume Goulding will miss out so maybe Hansen will get a place with Flanagan to cover for Riddell.

Top performance by the lad, lets hope he doesn't inherit Hocks dealer as well as his jersey.

Lee Mossop stood out. Excellent performance.

is that praise for a non Saints mon............I think it is

Are you from Mars?
O' Loughlin is the best Xiii in SL of course he gets his place back when he is fit. He is our captian (whether some like it or not), and a fantastic player.

Just watching the game again, too much alcohol last night plus I had seen my with the result, to appreciate it. But how fast is Mossop? For a big guy he can shift.

Don't know what everyone think's but he reminds me of a young Lee Gilmour??

Mossop was awesome, to think we have 10 years to come of him and the Tomkins brothers with us!
Time perhaps to send more lads out on loan next year?
Leigh and Widnes will be interested and Halifax are a club with good coaches too.

i'd like to see Flanaghan, Farrell, Ainscough and one of Goulding or Pryce all go out on loan next year. The reserve team would be hit but i'd rather these lads get the experience at a higher level.

What's the deal with Tuson btw? I know he got given a squad number but not heard anything about him, assuming he's injured but what's he like as a player?

Think Joel, needs a little rest straight swap for Bailey for next week. Drops far to many balls.
