| Quote: Big Steve "I can understand the issues with Saint's backline , but I thought their forwards would stand up better than they did. Absolutely no intensity. Granted Sironen was injured early but still - they even managed to make Bryne look impressive, and considering his recent form this year that's no mean feat - and Dupree seemed to have shaken off some dodgy form of the past few weeks.
Hopefully leaving Bryne on the sidelines for a while has ignited some fire in him.
Nsemba was a beast in defence when he lined anyone up - really aggressive shoulder in tackles, and not too shabby with his footwork either in attack.'"
17 tackles and 4 runs for 23m doesn't strike me as impressive? |

and more talk this morning about the NRL being in loose talks to invest in Superleague. They won't be doing that to help us, that's for sure! |

| Quote: Stu M "On a train to London. Just typed out a long message on my phone and lost it!
I’ll post a proper reply when I’m back on my laptop but for now having only seen the highlights the only ray of sunshine for us is Harry Robertson
He makes errors and will continue to do so for a while. He’s also naive and inexperienced but my word what a player. Hard to believe he’s played less than 10 games and only been full time for two months.
I’ve waxed lyrical about this lad on here for a while and as NK said his footwork is incredible. When he puts some size and strength on that frame he’s going to be even better.
With the talent of Farrimond also, these two could be the starting halves for England sooner than you think'"
When I watch Robertson play he reminds me of Kalyn Ponga. Maybe without the lightning pace but he is no slouch.
I think Sailor will hinder his development tho because welsby 1 Sailor 6 is highly likely to be first choice next year |

Ponga is what I said too when I first saw him in May 2022 against Wigan scholars. First time I saw Farrimond too and they were the best two on the pitch by a distance |

| Quote: Phuzzy "Wane said in the pre match interview that Farrimiond was in his thoughts even as early as for the Samoa squad. I'm sure Robertson will be too. A couple of great prospects for sure!
Can I mention "open goals" and "tries against 12 men" Stu or will that make me a bad winner? ![]()
Ha ha. We can’t score against 13, 12 or 11 men!!

| Quote: NickyKiss "Wellens didn't do himself too much good in picking out Robertson letting Marshall go around towards the posts for his try as the example of them not doing the basics. It's not that he's wrong but there were many examples of players making silly errors and picking out a kid who has been your shining light recently isn't overly wise.
I believe Robertson is more of a stand off than a full back from his academy days. I'm not sure but I think you can see that in how he's played. His footwork is startling and he's going to be some player as he fills out but there has been the odd error here and there. He got picked off by Farrimond with that try by rushing up and leaving the space in behind. The quick thinking and vision from Farrimond to see that though was outstanding. I sense those two will play in some huge games against each other in the coming years.'"
Agreed NK. I think he’s a 6 too and that’s where he has played the majority of his youth rugby. |

From the brief bits us non Saints fans have seen of him if he can bulk up a bit IMO with his footwork and hands he might be an option at centre for you, definitely looks like a great prospect whatever position he ends up in if you can keep hold of him (NRL, not another SL club) |

Best we can do is try and stop them increasing their points difference by 50? |

Saints are going to have to throw some money at him and quick. |

Did you see the Broncos/Eels game, Stu? Sailor was solid at the back, and scored a lovely solo try, Clint Gutherson couldn't lay a glove on him.

Can see Saints not making the playoffs maybe? Their injury crisis is getting worse and they could end up moving down to fifth today unless they manage a shock win versus an in form Hull KR, as Salford play Huddersfield and should win.
Leeds and Leigh are now snapping at their tails too as well.
