If it had been a Challenge Cup game the BBC would show a clip along side Don Fox's miss as part of their annual montage.

I agree, but as I say that was totally unforced, a total brain fart, that’s what made it so unforgivable. It was one of those rare moments in which getting it right was easy, getting it as wrong as Grix did took some real effort - I still can’t fathom what he was thinking.

Normally I’d agree, but even with hindsight it was still really bad.

If only Finny’s penalty had not hit the post & we would have either two or got the ball back…

Yes, I said he needs to ensure it goes dead at least just before he took the kick. Still crazy to lose as we did though. How different things could have been for Holbrooke too if Saints hadn't made the play offs in his 1st season in charge.

I find it really sad that we still need to demonise a person who made a(n albeit crucial) mistake so many years ago... A player who was also instrumental in the best period of performance the club had in a twenty year period. Without his contribution we would not have been near the playoffs.
I'm not religious but the phrase - let he who is without sin, cast the first stone - seems appropriate, we've all screwed up at some time in our lives!

Let the past go and be happy looking forward!

I agree. I don't really understand it.

Sam Royle being released at Sts.

I think he's our type of player. Only 24 and a leader.
Second row is a position we could do with strengthening.

The travel might not work if Ashurst's taxi is no longer available.

Ashurst found a way and it worked for everyone.
