Sorry, you're quite right. A few too many bottled ales watching the match.

We could end up playing Huddersfield away qnd let Wigan and Leeds smash each other. If we win vs wire and leeds lose then Leeds will finish 4th. Unreal.

Agreed. Nobody will want to face us in the playoffs.



That was an outstanding defensive effort from Saints. That Makinson tackle was exceptional. And Josh Jones tackle whilst still on the floor to stop them breaking away was excellent.



We really need to get Walmsley back on the pitch though as I felt that although our defence was bang on, we were struggling against their pack. Is Roby hurt? He looked to be struggling with his arm a bit.



Proud of the lads.

There is some truth in that, but there's no doubt we'd be considerably better off playing our semi at home. It's not the be-all-and-end-all, but it is important.

Wish someone had taught Jon Wilkin to kick this well ten years ago.



MASSIVE boost having Vea back.

Great performance, always good to see Vea back, he's a massive handful for defences, and just runs all day. Mose played well too, hopefully he can keep that level for the rest of the season. Think Walshy is starting to look the business again.

We are going to miss josh Jones big time. He's been quality the last 5/6 weeks and a threat with the ball. He does fo the odd silly thing like early in the game last night but I think he's a big miss next for us.



His two catches from kicks last night was top quality.

I agree, I never quite understood why people started saying he wasn't good enough. Not been his best season apart from the last couple of weeks, but he certainly hasn't been bad. I've always rated him.

Its a strange one he was a bit hit and miss first half of this season, then soon as he signed up for Union his game picked up to the level we expected from him. My biggest worry is Quinlan looks scared of the physical stuff, non existence defence and could,t get rid of the ball quick enough to Swifty to run the ball out, happening in almost every game.

I said this about Quinlan the first time I seen him play. His defence is worst ive ever seen from a saints fullback. It's the fact he can't tackle but the fact he just Doesnt want to.



He's got good hands and good support play but his kick returns are shocking. I don't think he's beat a man all year on a kick return.



He's up there with one of the worst fullbacks ive seen in a saints shirt. I can only think of Leon Felton who's worse.

Given the problems we've had just putting a body in the full back jersey this season we should be thankful Quinlan's as good as he is. The truth is we could have been much, much worse off.

But what does he give us? Yes he supports well and he's hot good hands but the kick return on the first play is the most important carry of the set. It can determine how the set goes and he's dead with the ball or flings long passes to swift which gives defenders time to get up on us.



I can see why he Doesnt play NRL as he's not physically up for it.
