This is why events unnerve me.: |

| Quote: SNOT-HIM08 "overall good performance, neat passes good off loads great support play. Dean Thompson took his trys well. Gannon go his usual big hits in too. Thackeray worked his magic and went on for the try of the match.'"
I was pleasantly surprised at how organised we looked given the disrupted pre-season that all clubs have had.
After a disjointed first quarter we gave as good as we got. And even though it was an largely inexperienced Saints team we've been given the runaround by their kids in previous pre-seasons so it was good to be competitive.
As for the attendance, Man City v Man U on BBC will have kept a few thousand away.

| Quote: Mr. Messy "You will be my friend... as stated on the Saints side everyone who didnt play tonight will play against your lot as Saints class you as the stronger opposition... no disrespect to Widnes
Wellens Gardner Gidley Meli Pryce Eastmond Roby Fozzard Graham Puletua Wilkin didnt play tonight so them along with I suspect a few youngsters that played tonight will face your lot on Friday'"
Not getting into an argument about whether Widnes or Fax are better but the reason why Saints are playing a full strength team on Friday is purely because it is the Mike Bennett testimonial and you would have played a full strength side had it been either Barrow last week or Halifax this. The only way Saints were ever going to play a full strength side against Widnes was if Saints couldn't re-arrange the testimonial game. Saints agreed to play Widnes before the Barrow game was cancelled and had they played Barrow on Sunday, there's no way they could have fielded another full strength side just 2 day later.

| Laughing at a players injury. Some sick people in here.
I for one hope he isn't too hurt. I just hope you lads can sleep at night. This will be on your conscience for years to come. And thats if you've even got one. That might be your problem.
I bet you club baby seals to death just because you don't know its wrong. And if you do that, who knows what else you do.

Not bad at all for a midweek Friendly with 2 weakened teams. Only Joking Widnes. Sounds like a good hit out for you guys with a very respectable scoreline. I hope we can manage the same on Friday. Cant wait.

Fair comment and I fully expect us to get jolly rogered (certainly in the 1st half) come Friday.

No. Three bloody matches in one week! We turned out well for the Widnes friendly last season, because we didn't have three matches in one week last season.

It was a joke mate. Not been funny,but i know a few saints fans who look down at widnes.I think alot of fans thought it be a easy win, otherwise more would have gone.

| Just got back from down south and im gutted i missed the match but with a lot of youngsters out i think we more than held our own against a mixed saints side. Thompson sounds as if he had a good game as did grady and thacks and i love the new away kit. Bring on the Salford.
