Superb tonight me thinks. Watching the replay and he was absolutely everywhere tonight. His defensive effort in the spell from 65-80 where we led by 6 was outstanding, and there was none of the hands on hips and panting for breath. His effort was oustanding and his fitness was impressive given how hard he'd worked. He also produced a few half breaks and a couple of killer offloads.

Top notch our Mo tonight. Even if his new look does bring him dangerously close to looking like the legend that is Toadie from Neighbours.

Yep
hes getting back to his best.

Saints are in great shape this year. Defence looks better than ever.

COME ON YOU SAINTS

Since the Leeds SL game he has picked up his form in each subsequent performance. Hopefully Baileys hit will have taught him a lesson that if he ambles the ball in he will be a sitting duck for the big hit.

Getting back to the Maurie we know and love and running the ball in properly.

I agree he's much improving, however, some of is tackles are borderline high. He'll give penalties away if he doesn't bring his arm a little lower.

He's improving every week and should be hitting top form soon, he just needs to cut out the penalties.

his return to form is just at the rght time with cayless seemingly out for a while.

With Eastmond back, Wilkin can move to second-row and Puletua to front row to cover Cayless so there isn't as much pressure on Fa'asavalu

I dont think eastmond is fully back yet, and tony is nuch more devastating in the 2nd row

His defence was excellent last night, his go forward was good too.

Defensively he is getting back to his best. His carries last night show hes not far from being on top of his game. Needs to cut out the penalties especially around the play the ball.

Disagree with most tbh, Maurie had a good game last night but for the last 12 months if anything,he's gone backwards.

Was it Fa'asavallu that Feka trampled all over on one of his runs leaving him in a heap in his wake?

Didnt he do well.

Feka is very fat, obviously it's going to be hard to stop him. Still a useless prop who does about 3.5 minute spells and goes off for oxygen. He needs to lose another few pounds and gain some fitness, he could be a dangerous player if he wasn't so laughably unfit.

You missed out " three" before runs sunsheeine

Was that one with the raised elbow? Oh, hang on, all his runs are with the raised elbow

It was a genuine question. I assume from the reaction it was Fa'asavalu who looked like he had been hit by a car then.

Feka's fatter than your average car.

Gave penalties away yesterday that if Richards was playing he would have kicked.

For all of the "good" runs he did there was some silly errors in tackling technique.
He is gradually getting better but the standards i have for Maurie have dropped alot.

Richards isn't a great kicker and the penalties we gave away last night wouldn't have been critical in terms of the score line. We were well and truly off the boil last night, our defense around the ruck was tired and lazy, we made so many missed tackles and let them offload at will. It was a professional performance last night, a win in the hardest of circumstances.

I just hope Hull get an absolute kicking from their friends Hull KR or Monday could be a very difficult game as well.
