Well done to the lads, for putting in a much improved performance. The speed & aggression of defence was awesome. And I thought we played much nearer to the referees tolerance with slowing them down at the ruck.

I now feel much more optimistic about our chances to possibly make the grand final and have a chance.

On the down side, our attack is still pretty poor. There were some touches of class, but they were generally few and for between. We still look pretty predictable, and waste a lot of 5th tackle plays in their oppositions 25.

If we are to really challenge, we need to be clinical in attack. Come nearer to scoring on the last tackle, and force more drop outs. Because although our defence was great tonight, if Huddersfield had of been more composed or had more their missing players back it would have been touch and go for the victory last night.

I would give the Defence an A and the attack a D. We have 2 weeks to improve...

Cmon the Saints

I think we improved to poor, rather than terrible. We didn't look clueless this time, for instance, and we didn't bump into each other or forget to do something on the last tackle. We did attempt some kick/catch moves which almost came off on two occasions and we also got over the tryline three times (granted, on one occasion with help from a blind touch judge). So, yes, I think we've improved.

only scoring 1point from a drop goal in the second half against a giants team who had injuries on your own ground not much improvement there..
and missing goals again...

Well played last night, pretty dour game. But you bossed it from the start. Your defence was immense. Got to say I would have given the man of the match to young Eastmond. The lad is class. Hopefully see you in 2 weeks time. When we may have a stronger team on the field. By the way my missus"s first visit to your ground and she loved it.

Was she drunk?

It's just that most people abuse our beloved home of 100 plus years. Love and Knowsley Road only usually go together in the hearts of the die-hard Saints fans.

Is she a closet Saints fan, do you think?

(just joking!)

It's no joke .... there are many
