2 defeats on the bounce for Saints. Are they in dissaray or are we gonna feel their wrath?

Yeah, you can't knock the effort that lad puts in when he pulls on our jersey. One of our clubs all time greats. And our only man of steel winner.

Been a very good player but wouldn’t have him as a all time great,just my personal opinion.

Just tackle 52 alone puts him in that catagory. And then there's the thosands of other tackles he's made.

He may not be as classy a hooker as Jackson or Swain. But his effort every single game puts him in their ballpark.

A mere 2 games on the bounce, oh to be in such a rosy situation.

Good luck anyone predicting the 17 from that squad

18th man - Tindall or Moy

Personally I’d start Pele off the bench to mix up size and experience as our replacement front row is dreadful

I concur, think Ese'ese will likely be doing big minutes. Glad to see Balmforth in the 21 man squad too after Smiths departure, as think he'll be needed considering Houghton isn't 100% with his rib injury yet.

Saints on the ropes and are there for the taking Think it will be close, with only 52 points in it this week.

This is the weakest and most inexperienced squad we have had all season. Our bounce back may take a few weeks to start.

Going to put my neck out there and say Ese’ese goes down as a very good signing and we get 5-6 years out of him. Think he’s looked good in a very poor side. Just need to teach some players how to run on to his offloads
