I thought there were a few forward passes let go. Robertson stuck to his task well, after a shaky start, and all credit to the lad. ZE did great, and I thought Thompson was just massive. Would have loved him to get a try.

What a win that is against all the odds, terrible night for all those who thought we were a 1/2 man team.

We showed why we are the kings of rugby and the best club in world.

The hooker issue really hampered us but we found a way.

It was very frustrating seeing players go down after minimal contact on both sides I agree.

I think if we get a 9 back we can cope without our 2 game breakers for a few weeks though.

I fully agree with you there. I am sick of seeing windmills on the pitch. O’Neill was a massive miss for us tonight, in my opinion he is the best 9 in SL. There are going to be a lot of sore bodies tomorrow, I think a few will be struggling for next week.

Was a good game that. Both sides going at it good and proper.

A few thick plays from Saints absolutely killed us. The Davies going into touch one and Welsby charge down huge game changers.

I thought Eckersley was the best player on the pitch - he was exceptional.

Serious question, why is Welsby so petulant? I can’t see him having a night down King St any time soon.

Re: Saints (h) : Fri Jul 12, 2024 11:32 pm  

French out for 8 weeks, so it's even more pleasing to see Eckersley look so comfortable at fullback. He'll be needed between now and Field coming back. It's frustrating to lose Field and French at the same time but it's going to pay off handsomely down the track with the experience Eckersley and Farrimond are getting.
