No.
3 particularly poor efforts stood out. Grix's aimless kick dead and 2 x kicks into the hands of Reagan Grace.

Agree on the Grix one - ended up giving Saints 7 tackles. Should have been put into touch to eat up some more time.
Finny's last tackle kicks weren't great but he was out under immense pressure from the Saints defence each and every time - LMS must have got to him and hit him half a dozen times. Compare with our pressure on their kickers - there was none, they had plenty of time on every kick to pick a spot.
So, overall an area that still needs some work but we did get 2 points so I'm not going to moan too much!

| Cracking game! I've got a sore throat from shouting, especially that last 10 minutes. Can't remember such a finish to a game. What a rollercoaster! So many great performances.

| All Hewer's fault apparently - reffed Saints out of the game rlSee Saints Forumrl
Nice to see someone else blaming the ref instead of us for a change. Does any team ever lose a match down to their own inadequacies???

| Saints forum had me in stitches earlier. First poster called us "d nothing side"
Some sensible posters in there as well in praising our performance and not relying on blaming the ref.

Randal had hold of the shirt collar when he made the tackle and in theory shouldn't of been sent off, I was that close enough to see that but can understand why he did get binned as it looked reckless, had he missed that would of been a score to saints, had Wakefield not had a BJB taken out earlier in the game we would of scored in the first half and had the score at 28 points, no sin binning whats so ever and was as bad but not near the line
congratulations has go to Percival who managed to get up of the floor when he was shot by a fan with an elephant gun
we now have football diving coming into our game and it truly ing me off,
well done on Hewer on holding on to his nerve so close to the saints fans side with the verbal that the lineman's got I'm sure it was Percival dive they was chelping about,
edit done Makinson an injustice there it was Percival, maybe he' trying to get noticed for the next England game

To be fair, only a few one-eyed supporters trotting out that line - and plenty of others disagreeing with them; that's the way it usually goes with most post-match analyses, and it never serves well to intrude on someone's private grief.

After racing ahead I thought we'd close up shop and defend them out of the second half - so that flurry of scores to make it a 2 point game wasn't good for the old ticker - but I guess when you're playing the best side in the league, you can't legislate for them pulling their socks up and affecting the outcome. Very happy to have my expectations exceeded though - we hadn't won any of those tight games yet, and now we have - so that's a real confidence builder after a streak of losses.
From what I could make out, Tupou and Hirst had a stormer; and Wilkin did his level best to take out as many of our players as possible? Also - did our last tackle options look more self-assured?

Dont know about last tackle options looking more assured.
The main thing was that we completed more sets.
Some of our kicking on the last was awful, especially just before ht, when, instead of putting the ball in touch, we gave Saints chance to attack and for me, we need to put the ball along the ground more often, instead of a kick straight into the full back or wingers hands.
Having said that, we shouldnt be critical of a side that just scalped the top team in the comp.

I couldn't understand what Grix was trying to do with that kick just before half time, it was bizarre. It wasn't finding touch, giving BJB a chance to chase, or bothering the Saints defence. Wasn't it on the third or fourth tackle too? It saw Saints go up the other end and score on the hooter giving them a boost for the second half.

| Quote: Upanunder "I dunno, by the sounds of Chezzy's post match interview, Finn's been playing with it for a while, he didn't give any indication when he'd be going in for it fixing, so maybe it isn't hampering him too much.
I like Rocky but he doesn't control the game like Finn does, Finn is exactly the player we needed for this game considering the circumstances, 5 losses on the bounce is a pressure builder.
So who plays next week ?, well..Finn if he can, not knowing the details of the injury its difficult to say whether Rocky would be a better choice, I'd be wanting to get Finn fixed asap, but fixtures dictate....and all that.
I'd put Rocky in next week and get Finn fixed, but 2 months is a long time so I suppose they're holding off for a more convenient opportunity.
God knows when that will be, its horses for courses the fixtures are Finn Rocky Finn Rocky for the foreseeable, so he's gonna have to be unavailable for some of them.
Either that or he plays the season with a busted finger...
Finn hasn't controlled a second half all season. He didn't control it yesterday either. One kick found touch in the 77th minute. The rest were little chip kicks straight down either full back's throat. Finn's pluses come in organising the attack but we had very little ball for a lot of the 2nd half. I feel a bit sorry for Hampshire tbh, if you're going to give people shirts who have played well then why was he dropped after a good performance for a half with a broken finger whose form has been scratchy?
Finn has been an outstanding servant and he will still have games where he kicks well off the tee and passes well but is Hampshire going to offer any less when you consider his running game? His kicking against Leeds was also spot on.

Yet somehow when Finn plays we usually win, work it out.
That said I saw nothing wrong with Hampshire last week but fact is he doesn't yet have Finns composure even if you don't see it. However at Hampshires age Finn didn't have it either, it definitely comes with age and it's hard to quantify at times.
So no I don't feel sorry for Hampshire, his time will come as indeed did Finns - off all the positions on the park S/H's are made not born IMO.

| Great win for you guys.
After being on the wrong end of some close results, good to see you get over the line against the competition leaders.
Well done!!!!!

| Radio job for me again yesterday, sounded like a heoric effort and the lads definately deserved a win based on recent games.
Strange thing is though the mood on the forum. I wonder if a 50/50 call/bounce of the ball/individual peice of brilliance or error had changed the result we would still be as pleased with the performance?
Important we seperate performance from result, as the last few weeks have shown it's often virtually as coin toss who gets over the line.

how refreshing this seasons going to be, never had I felt like we could win the challenge cup as this year

Yes I would still be pleased with the performance as I was with the Cas and Leeds games. It was clear to see in this spate or losses that it is the bounce of the ball which was the difference between Trinity and the top teams we've just played. A loss would have been down to a few individuals errors bit overall it was a cracking team effort. There was a period in the first half where Saints couldn't handle Trinity and we cut through them for fun
