Shaul was so bad yesterday that in my mind he's gone from "not as good as Connor, not a good ball player, but he's reliable and a good guy to have as a back up." To "I hope I don't see him at full back ever again."

He isn't as bad as that performance suggests. He just had a particularly bad day. But things like that early pass to touch bring into stark contrast the difference between his skill set and Connor's. Jake makes those in his sleep. Jamie looked like he had never passed a ball before.

Yeah I think he has to play 13 once a couple of props come back. To give him some credit, he is a good defender and he has an offload game. At 13 we can use him as something more than just a battering ram and I think that will suit him a lot better. As a prop, I don't think he offers any more than Fash or Brown.

Evans only has one more game to miss I believe so that's one back. What is the latest on Taylor and Bowden?

Exactly this, Lomax carried on playing with his "horrific " injury and played in the second half.

Thought the Wynne yellow was harsh. When you consider Cheyse Blair got away with 2 similar tackles for Cas.

Gale made contact with Lomax, but it was minimal. I can still see him coping a few games.

I think Lomax made the most of it with the cameras being there. He was soon up as soon as Gale went off.

That being said, Saints were far and away the best team. Line speed superb, they must be the best defensive side in SL ever. Walmsley and Matautia were the pick for me.

Dodd looks a special talent too. The four peat is on.

I doubt the time of the incident makes any difference. The grading bands are

A NFA - 1 match
B 1-2 matches
C 2-3 matches
D 3-5 matches
E 4-8 matches
F 8+ or suspension period

It’ll be interesting to see how the Discipinary Committee deal with Gale.

I can’t recall seeing a player going in to challenge a kicker with their foot in all my time watching the game.

That said, it wasn’t a two footed lunge and he did look like he was pulling his foot away. However, he still made contact.

It was a stupid challenge and I suspect he’ll get two matches, but it still wouldn’t surprise me if they gave him more as they have nothing to benchmark it with. Hopefully, the fact he got sent off in the first half, might be taken into account with any ban.

I hope Lomax is ok. Some are saying he milked it. However, Gale made contact with his foot and he received a cut to his shin. Anyone who’s played sport will know that that’s instantly painful. A bit like when you stub your toe, instant pain, but a minute later you’re ok to carry on.

210m for Walmsley, av gain 14m.

Agree about Reynolds, hard to play with the circumstances, needs to step up soon though.

I disagree about Sao, think he is a very good player who offers good go forward, but like the rest of the team discipline needs to improve. Got dominated yesterday, but usually does well with meters, great against Wakey.

Easily the best forward in SL, shame he hasn't the appetite for a spell in the NRL, would go really well there

I've just seen him be totally ineffective too often now. Satae, regardless of the general team performance, is always a handful. Sao gets dominated by the good packs. I'm not sure when his contract is up, but I definitely wouldn't be renewing. I think he's been very disappointing.

But Connors passes aren't always great

He lost us the semi final by passing It straight to Grace ( surely you must remember it ) or you part of the "Connor crew" that wierdly ignore it

Connor also cost us the match at Wigan by giving a stupid penalty in front of the sticks with 10 minutes to go

Er you not see the weather

Every player on the pitch was making basic errors even saints did

Not one of our players was above 5/10 yesterday you wouldn't play any of them again if based on yesterday

What did Connor do last week except for the ridiculous red card and getting done for pace AGAIN by Johnstone?

Everytime someone breaks the line they all do Connor for pace even Liam farrell did

But people ignore all Connor f*ck ups
