Our lineup is interesting to say the least

How on earth did we lose to this Hull FC team ? They are absolutely awful

and a bit of confusion over ours with Sky posting a different team to what the club have named, hope we've not lost an interchange due to a last minute injury

Just seen it. I think there are some sensible choices given the situation. Batchelor is on to bring the ball out of backfield, Davies is chosen because of his experience, and Wellens can’t risk playing Burns for 80 minutes as he has far more impact off the bench.

Seen on a fb page Forber has dropped out of the 17 named, don't know if true but have we lost an interchange if that's the case ?

Farrell dropped out during warmup it seems

Don't mention that to the Saints fans. They love billing themselves as massive underdogs irrespective of who the opposition are missing.

Who needs Smith's kicking when Kaide Ellis can put up a bomb like that?

Re: Saints (Magic Weekend) : Sat Aug 17, 2024 5:22 pm  

And just like that, Batchelor is back on his feet and raring to go as soon as Ellis gets the yellow. I disagree with Saints fans. They are coached well. They all do that part of the game superbly.

In light of a tough month or two, I think Farrimond has done really well so far.
