The whole talk was a lack of an injury crisis and it’s not that yet is it?!
You do realise Leeds we’re missing Myler, Fusitua, Newman, Sezer, Dwyer. Tetevano, Mellor, Holroyd and Thompson don’t you? And they lost Oledzki and Bentley during the game.
Saints were pretty good tonight but the whole debate has been can Saints do it week to week during an injury crisis. If the other team has one far worse it’s not going to prove a great deal.'"
Don’t talk sense, did you not know the Saints of 2022 are unbeatable?
I thought it was really encouraging for the other 10 SL sides this evening for 55/60 mins; they’re not unbeatable. And before a Saints fan corrects me, I know Walmsley, Hopoate, Grace, Matauitia et al were missing. I think Catalans will fancy their chances next week.

We are constantly told we are a one man team. No Walmsley no win.'"
Don’t go all YG on us mate, it’s been done over and again. The whole debate (as you know) was about how Saints would deal with an injury crisis. That isn’t moving the goalposts at all. One game against a Leeds club with their confidence as low as a snakes belly and missing 9 players (and losing 2 more during the game) is hardly going to settle that debate is it?
As for the one man team thing, I’ve certainly never said that and don’t think that in the slightest (I know you’re not throwing that specifically at me by the way). You beat us in a Grand Final with Walmsley on one leg. Any thoughts of that went west that night.

No Lees, Walmsley, Grace, Hopoate, Mautatia. There’s 5.
Amor can count as 6.
Child absolutely hammered us with six agains.No matter how poor Leeds have been, to nil any SL team is a superb effort'"
Not seen the game tonight, why were they missing? Obviously know about Grace who's been a long term injury.

Not sure with Grace because didn’t he come back last week?
Walmsley being saved for the cup by the sounds of things.

Grace played his 1st game this season last week against Whitehaven and picked up a leg knock in the last 5 mins.
Walmsley and Matautia have missed every game since Warrington. Hopoate has barely played at all and Lees has missed the last two.

He’s had a hamstring injury for 3 weeks.
Hopoate also hamstring. As is Matautia I think.
Lees ankle.
Grace went off against Whitehaven.

Oh aye, I know he’s been injured but the update on the box tonight was that they’d decided not to risk it. Makes perfect sense with the cup game next week and then Good Friday coming up.
You could’ve beat Leeds with another 4 or 5 missing tonight (not sure Leeds would’ve scored even if you didn’t bother replacing them).

Their attack is woeful mate. Austin constantly running up blind alleys. Our defence is absolutely superb but they didn’t offer enough quality or variety to worry us.

I thought they showed plenty of spirit but yeah, that attack is woeful. It’s not going to get any better for them if Oledzki and Bentley miss many games.

| Quote: NickyKiss "As you say, it’s subjective. There isn’t a definition for it and unless there is people will never agree.
I don’t think being a top 10 player in a position like wing, when there are two of them, I’d pushing ‘world class’ too far but you do and that’s fair enough. If we’re just saying world class is being good enough to stake a claim for a world 13 (for example) then no way Makinson makes it and dare I say it, but Walmsley doesn’t either (or Bateman).'"
Arguably not world class then
