All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

| Woke up today thinking I’d dreamed that.
I know I’d bagged Mcintosh a few times this season alone but he was great last night, probably a confidence player who needed a couple of good games to really emerge.
Feels like a lifetime since we had his sort of pace in the team. One criticism is he’d be faster if he didn’t rush to pin his ears back and instead put his head down and really pumped for a bit. The bigger quick wingers are good examples.

| Some result that. Thought you guys were exceptional.
Saints turned up with an arrogance from weekend and FC just didn’t allow them to get in the groove. People could argue saints were off it, not for me thought the defence of you lot never allowed them to be on it. It’s how you’ve got to play against them and was very similar performance and style to what I saw at craven park earlier in the year. Maybe teams are working them out, which is great for the league as a whole.
Mcintosh very good, Savelio very good, Sao was massive in D. Thought cam Scott looked lovely as well have hurrell nightmares all game. Clifford and trueman seems to be working well together as well.
Always good to see saints get knocked down a peg or two.Fair play

| McIntosh has gone from “I can’t believe we gave him three years”, to “I’m glad he’s still contracted next year”

I’ve always been a strong supporter of his as I feel there is a decent rugby player in there.
He is very much a confidence player and think his injury affected him more than we realise.
Not getting carried away, and I’m sure there will still be the odd brain fart and error, but he’s the sort of player TS could help enormously if he takes on board what he is being told?

For me, it is the small details that TS is instilling in the players. Savelio, change in attitdude. Brown stated in the HDM this week about the changes he has been working on. With McIntosh, the way he is running it in on exit sets, he is really hitting in between two defenders, and getting his nose through. Really impressive

| Never in doubt
Someone mentioned it above, but we have really had a hard time of it over the past few years. Hammerings, awful recruitment, all made going to games feel a chore. There is still plenty of work to be done, but it is clear that there is massive strides been made both on the pitch and off it in terms of attitude and culture. And it is all down to Tony Smith.
Huge result for our season, there's always a team that sneaks the play offs with a late push. Hopefully we keep players like Trueman/Clifford fit and it would give us a fighting chance.

If we can keep playing with that desire, effort and intensity from now until the end of the season we will give ourselves a chance and if not we can look back and say it wasn't for the lack of trying.
With results as they have been across SL I wouldn't like to predict anything as teams you'd expect to see win when looking at fixtures haven't. The teams above us will all lose points between now and end of the season as no doubt we will but it gives up a chance and something to aim for however slim that might be.
I said at half time to the guy next to me that if we lose the game I would be disappointed but would have no real complaints as the effort had been unreal in that first 40mins and thoroughly enjoyed it. When Bell scored in the 2nd we all must have had a thought of he we go St's are going to get on a roll but then to reply with another score ourselves I was pretty confident we had the resolve and attitude to see out the game.
That is a massive plus and shows the complete change within the club brought about by TS.
I have to say I am now back to looking forward to going to games rather than trudging to them under sufferance.
As an aside it was nice to see Wellens give credit to us for a deserved win which makes a change for an opposing Coach.

| Best performance I've seen us do for a few years saints didn't have much answer
Mcintosh looks like he's hitting some form brilliant last night looked a threat most times he had the ball
Would give savelio another year but only a year to keep him on his toes

| It hammer's home how important it is to have the right coach.
I don't know how much TS is on, but definitely much better value for money.

| Smith is showing his man management skills with players like Savelio and McIntosh.
I've read players from his Leeds and Warrington teams saying how good he is at this. He takes time to get to know players individually and personally, what makes them tick, their plans outside of RL etc.
