Green, Flower, Charnley, McIllorum, Farrell, Hansen and Gelling - outstanding tonight.

The rest have been excellent :D

Powell did his best for a rookie League player, but certainly lacking in an understanding of the game.


Charnley limping holding his right ankle. Hopefully, nothing serious. Give him a week off :wink:

He isn't a natural ball handler like lockers but defiantly offers the same running threat, he is a very good back up to have I think his a great player and what an engine!

Just like Wembley. 16 points is plenty this time of year.

The ref had a shocker and Powell seemed to have nothing left after his early knock, am I right in saying he only lasted 9 minutes couldn't see him even warm up tonight

Apart from his try which he did take well, that's a match which given all Brough's plaudits, is a major reason he should not be in the International set-up, imo.

The Aussies and Kiwis would absolutely nail him and force him into indescribable errors at the highest level, just when the pressure is really on him. And at a World Cup it would cost you a result and possible elimination.

Agree about his try. He made our defence look bad but it wasn't really, it was just a bloody good try.

That sad, I thought Green's was identical at the end which caused me some little embarrassment after slagging him off all night.

Still. Who cares. We won! :D

Andy Powell needs to be replaced next week he offered nothing tonight. Apart from that I thought we'd played the best I've seen in ages.

Matty Smith's kicks looked good, loving the drop goal options

Pat's kicking was great, we will miss that the most I think, even the lengths on the drop outs

Blake looked the best he's been but for now I think he needs to back that up

Flower great game tonight could be a big player in the next game esp if lockers is still out

Josh, Sam and Micky Mac showed great passion in their play

A saints fan said to me tonight we keep playing like that and no one will stop us
