Bailey was outstanding tonight..all match...very dissapointed with Ablett's defence though...will have to watch back but i thought he was directly responsible for 2 Saints scores.

Would rather lose this one and beat them at HQ in 2 weeks which i now beleive will happen.

To be fair I thought Ablett was ok and i'm not his biggest fan.

We lost out on our bench this week as we badly missed Kirke and Ali.

IMO Allen and Gibson were anonymous and offer us very little

What I like about Bailey is the way he gets under the skin of his oppo’s (and, let’s face it, most of their fans too).

I don’t think I’ve seen a player come off the bench as wound up as the Ginger nice person and be so ineffective.

For a time Graham was so preoccupied with slotting Bailey that he did fekk all else which in an ironic way took him out of the game while on the pitch.

as has been said, ablett was responsible for a couple of the Saints tries i thought. will need to see it back again but its how it looked to me.

i dont think he did anything outstanding going the other way either in fairness.

you could also tell Brent looked a bit rusty, his takes of the high bomb were quality and his miss pass to hall in second half, but he made a couple of mistakes you wouldnt expect from him. will be nice to have him 100% again

Yeah, but unfortunately thinking isn't exactly your strong point is it?

I suppose disregarding something you've disregarded might be an interesting philosophical exercise, but then as most people disregard your opinion I'm not sure it would be anything but an exercise in futility. But no doubt you're an expert on that too.

Bailey is, and will probably always be, a big daft lad with few skills and a lot of aggression, takes a lot more than that to make a decent RL player.

bailey is a coward. cheap shots all the time. straight after the scuffle when he had a chance to take it in hard, he nearly ran backwards to get away from james graham.. cheap shot 3rd man in merchant.

I'd be very concerned about Peacock's form this year, something is just not right with him.

208 meters made last week says otherwise... yes stats dont say it all but you have to be doing something right to make that many in 1 game.

I read an interview with Peacock at the start of the year and he mentioned that it wasn't easy for him to maintain the level of his performances at his age and that he knew that from now on there would be periods in the season where he'd have to hold back. I'm not suggesting he did that tonight because it was a big game, but it might explain why he's not tearing trees up every week.

yeah, completely agree Lister, normally your posts are arrogant and mis-informed, but tonight you couldn't be more spot-on,
