Oh dear, just watching it again and the neurotic "analysis" of the Tanganoa offside on 44 minutes is just nausiating. The guy is in front of the kicker and is offside - end of.

Odd that Hudds put in a mammoth effort last week and only ran out of gas around 65 mins, this week it was barely 5 minutes

Peters is well aware of the "escort" rule and his team used the same tactics during the semi - case in point, look at the dropped ball before Nsemba's try Both Hiku and Burgess were wandering around in front of Evalds.

Top performance all round.

On the half time analysis, puzzling.

KR were offside before O'Neil threw the forward pass. May jumps into Harry.?

Did mine in as well. Not because she's a woman but the high pitched drone.

It was a horrible sound

Hearing Saints winning is always a horrible sound

Thought Nsemba and Leeming were superb. French MoM, hmm some poor decision making but came very good in the end so fair one. Byrne lucky not to see red. Its a puzzler how bad we are starting, yes teams are fresh and are not going to lir down but its things we can control that are awry - kicking, poo...

Maybe a common theme for us/saints was a too passive defence, I didn't take much notice of how Cats beat HKR - anyone see that game?

Sky MOTM went to Wardle, fair enough but the 80 minute effort from Nsemba topped up by that juggling finger tip interception 10 yards from our line made him my MOTM. Wardle for MoM was deserved, Nsemba wasn't far off and a good performance taking the ball up the middle much more than he ever did fo...

It'll be nice if he hits the ground running (so to speak) but let's cut Walters some slack and not expect too much too soon. He's going to be a huge asset but he may well need time to slot back in. https://shorturl.at/lDH89 Saying he isn’t going to be in the 17 unfortunately. Fair enough and a run ...

Ah, didn't see that and was about to discuss the issues Peet will have in picking the team.
Having four (Cooper, Byrne, Walters and Havard) all lacking some fitness but needing minutes makes it a good problem I suppose.
