Don't forget the age factor with Walmsley - him along with Lomax, Makinson, Hurrell and Paasi are 33/34 this year. Doesn't mean they're done by any means but they might be well advised to consider rotating at some point to reduce injury risk. Look at other front rowers of a similar age - Mike Cooper, Chris Hill and Walmsley himself - all starting to pick up regular injuries now after being relatively clear of them most of their careers.

That is all

Look an ageing team today Saints.

I said on GF not see much in this saints team. This proves me right can’t attack for toffee and their defence has been done over by crash balls and hot potato rugby

Not recovered from GF

To keep a group of players excited to just defend, defend and defend some more to try and win games is hard. We struggled with it under Lam and they look in a similar space currently. I said after Good Friday, we had plenty more in us but I wasn’t sure Saints did. I stand by that. They’ll be right up there at the end of the season and tough to beat but they have one way of winning games.

Mebee it is the year of the Wolfs. Such a shame, & at home too. Bless

Can I say a big congrats to all the Wigan fans who managed to get to the Saints game today just so they could get filmed leaving the ground with more than 10 mins to go

Top quality trolling!

I think there is some truth in that but it is not coincidence that both Saints and Cats got mullered a week after their encounter in France.

They've got the won the league on Good Friday trophy to ease their pain

As bad as anything under Cunningham that today would have said we where sh*te but that would be kind

Going to be hard work (and a harder watch) trying to defend your way to OT, fair play if you manage it.

I have said the last couple of years this saints side are on the slide with their players getting older and slower possibly the slowest backline in SL now.
Mind you they could still be suffering from WCC in Aus so time to bounce back I think.
