tough game, we matched saints for long periods, even looked the better team but just couldnt take our chances, attack not good enough ... but thats been the same for years now... brough has been our attack for years but cant break down defences... still its early days with our new half back combo so can still improve
roberts is not as effective as a starting second rower.. needs to impact off the bench but has to play from the off due to symonds not being available.
ferguson was great again lastnight, so was murphy
mamo was poor, needs some sun and more game time after such a long lay off... same for jerry ... can see the rust just not match fit.
taai and clough were great up front and matched saints
the ref i thought was abit harsh on us.. gave us knock ons then let saints get away with exactly the same! dont want him as a red again anytime soon.
that try just before half time and the two quick fire ones second half were the difference and saints being more clinical in their finishing.
roll on next week, not disheartened, loads off effort form the lads lastnight

The ref was terrible but Huddersfield got just about everything. Walmsley try not given when it was clearly a try, turnover after Murphy puts the ball in touch, some strange knock on decisions and he gave far too many pens to both teams.
As a saints fan I thought you looked decent but lacked any cutting edge in attack (could be down to our defence). You’ll easily get top 8 but won’t have enough for top 4. We made a lot of stupid mistakes but bailed ourselves out with our defence and in the end our quality told and we looked very comfortable second half.
