Except for two occasions we have always struggled against the giants we always seem in trouble against sides with big powerfull men such as Bradford, Our first choice 17 has some size in it but take out a couple of players we start to struggle, We now have pace around the team wich is great when we attack but as shown it hurts us when we have to try & defend. Still going for a narrow win as Saints dont do well at craven park.

Jake is the best pundit on here and I will get rich on his advice. My £12 winnings on today's annual horse culling will be re-invested at 3-1 on Rovers.

Stick with me and you'll soon have enough to buy that mark 5 escort you've been hankering after

You can have the jack from the boot as your commission

Might be shot down in flames by 4.45 but I can't see anything other than a win for our boys today. I expect that there will be a massive backlash and unfortunately injury hit Saints are going to feel it!

What he said ...

Easy money

Cheers Jake

We've got a treble going it was rovers, hull and hopefully Leeds for 70 quid of a fiver @fingerscrossed

Good win. Not too much flowing football, confidence still looks a touch shaky, just needed to get back on the horse. We can go a bit conservative when we're trying to reduce the error count but the effort & commitment that went missing against Wigan was enough to get us home. Monday's left some scars but 3 wins from 4 around Easter, quite happy with that. Beaumont didn't look out of place.

Agree with this, plenty of effort today, still a lot of errors though. Agree about Beaumont too, put some good hits in.

The props won this for Rovers. Walker, Beaumont, Paea, Tuimavave & Lovegrove got over the top on virtually every drive.

With better handling in the Saints 20, we would have stolled it.

I think last weekend was a wake up call to both of our teams. You beating us has certainly focused our minds and likewise what Wigan did to you looks to have had the same effect. Lets hope we can both carry this forward and finish in respectable positions at the end of the normal rounds.

Props were very good. Most of the team seemed able to make another 3-4m in the tackle after the initial contact. Just the timing & ball movement seemed a bit off. Very similar to the Cas 2nd half. I'm sure the half-time message on both occasions was just to cut out the errors & play for territory. At least we've shown we can grind out results & not just outscore the opposition.

Chunk it on hudds next week though

Worst saints side since SL began and decimated by injuries. Losing this week would have been more of a worry than being bummed by wigan last week
