But Wello's first try was from an absolute peach of a run onto Walsh's shoulder. As a couple of us posted recently, could he play this narrow attacking role from 13 and let Lomax do the work outside?

I would agree with that, yes. Could you suggest it to Brown do you think? ha!

Oh was it? I;m as blind as a bat stood squinting in the West Stand when they get down to the far end! I need to invest in some binoculars! I'm impressed by Thompson though I have to say he is the only one of our young forwards that stands out to me (Savelio aside).

Yes, but Walsh still made the tackles and not all of them were with Wellens' help. I could see THAT much!

Tonight was a team effort; a real gutsy win. I disagree with Judder Man. I have no idea which game he was watching but it definately wasn't the one at Langtree Park!

It was very scrappy game with spells of knockathons, yes it was a gutsy win but the game had no intensity. If you are a self confessed "blind as a bat" maybe you have missed the state of play.
At the end of the day its 2 points bit I wouldn,t like to the see Hick the referee every week he was atrocious.

Well this week has certainly helped our points difference. Started almost 100 apart from Leeds now cut the deficit down to 59.

I think a Greenwood is 20 and Thompson 18.
Walker is 22 and IMO needs to give us an extra gear going forward, sooner rather than later, if he's going to be a success long term.

A year out greenwood is 21 and Thompson 19 - They are definitely the stand outs so far for our youngsters though I'm still hopeful for Richards as well though. Walker needs to step up a bit for me.

Re: Saints V Salford : Fri May 30, 2014 10:30 pm  

Bad game against a poor Salford team. Eden is awful! Thompson, Wellens and Walsh the standouts for me. LMS was awful first half but came into the game more in the second half. Got caught outwide far too many times though, better teams would have capitalised on that.

Re: Saints V Salford : Fri May 30, 2014 10:30 pm  

Walker is awful player. I know he's cheap etc.. but he aint good enough for any SL club let alone ours.

I missed nothing of the sort. I didn't say it was classic rugby league. But how you could find such a gutsy win boring I'll never know. We were on one leg and battling against an opposition out to injure us all the time. For the spirit that we displayed when we had a halfback on the wing and a second rower at centre and half the team limping (or so it seemed) it was a good match to watch, not to mention the abuse we could give to Hicks who had a very poor showing.

Re: Saints V Salford : Fri May 30, 2014 10:39 pm  

I think awful is a tad unfair.

If he was supposed to be our star prop fair enough, but normally he would be playing less than 10 games a season.

Also did he not get knocked out tonight???

I called him the last time he played and then he was the forward with the 2nd best average gain after Mose against Huddersfield.

Cunninghams report: http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... 06/9332603? Aha, I called walker out too, so I'm keeping schtum but I still think he's the player with the least potential out of the 4 that have broken through so far

I thought that, considering we had only one interchange player for over half the match, it was a real gutsy effort tonight. Plenty of walking wounded as well as those who went off and didn't return. Wello was my man of the match but Walsh is pure class and LMS put a shift in this week. Roby was also up there. Thank god for the week off.
