You were 14-0 up after 50 minutes! How many teams were 14 points ahead of Saints last year. Mentally you were poor, after Saints pulled a try back, you didn't pick yourselves up again and when Saints got their second, there was only going to be one winner.

One final point - the idiotic commentary on Sky. They talked for 10 minutes about the dodgy play the ball for Highams try but not once did they mention the fact that the whole of the Saints team were in fact off side at the time... Saints chuck the ball around and it's 'brilliant stuff', we do it and all you get is 'they got away with that'! When are we going to replace them with ex-players who know the game like they have in the NRL?

Forgive me if I am wrong, but hasn't Mike Setphenson played for GB in a World Cup winning team and coached a side to the Championship as well as playing with distinction in Australia. Stevo's bufoonary and fake-contraversialism is just an act. Who would you suggest replaces him, an ex-player who knows the game, like Johnathan Davies?

Replace Eddie Hemmings with a proper commentator like Jon Champion and replace Stevo with either Terry O`Connor or Barry Mac. The current dross has run its course, it sounds out dated and it doesn`t do the image of our game much good.

And?
And if it is just an act as you claim then why should we settle for a plank who goes about his business in such a manner?

And anyway, your opinion is irrelevant after the tripe you spouted about Millward the other year..... You know what I'm referring to....

I'd go as far to say they are as damaging as Eddie Waring.
