Clue to beating saints.
Tackle round the legs and get up in their faces.

Who knows it may work

That is it for me. After last season's shambles it was very important for the club, on and off the field, to start this season well. Certainly we wont be able to keep it going all year, but it is good to see a string of decent performances for the first time in about 5 years.

We are far from unbeatable. But we do have some great elements.

It has to be said since Brown has took over in 12 months he has made some significant changes.

There are very few who have survived the change from Royce to Brown and those who have have moved around a bit.

I'd say only Roby and Makinson are playing in the same roles they were prior to Brown. The biggest key for us is Walsh. We went with too much youth at halfback for too long, even with Eastmond they were running alone and sometimes you need a old head to make the better choices.

Put Walsh in last years team and some of those losses become wins. Doubt we would have won, but I reckon we would have been higher up. Having the big fella in Amor makes us genuine contenders. But with a long way to go.

Nathan Brown as got Saints playing some top drawer stuff at the moment, however it is only 3 games in and we all know when a team coached by Brown starts the season like the house is on fire, come the business end of the season the flames have usually been put out big time.

Agreed.

No doubt about it, for whatever reason Trinity are an excellent finishing school for young players. I think they get a real dose of reality at the club and learn to respect the game and it's fans. I also think they leave Wakefield with some genuine affection for the old club and want their success to reflect on the club.

I think it's something the elitist on here don't get - that some clubs who though themselves are only spasmodically successful the players they contribute to the system remain a constant and valuable asset for the game as a whole. Wakefield are especially good at rehabilitating perceived failed youngsters from bigger clubs and re-injecting them back into the game - Amor a perfect example.

Get rid of scavenger (for want of a better word) clubs like us and you lose a lot of valuable players forever - it works in nature

It makes you chuckle when Clarke & Stevo start saying Amor is looking good at Saints.
Of course he's looking good.
This lad didn't even make the Knights squad last season and clearly, he was one of the best English props in SL.
On the evidence of last night, his offload game has improved a touch but, I cant recall seeing anyone get the better of him last season and usually Amore was comfortably better than those playing with him or against him.
A top palyer, who Leeds must be kicking themselves for allowing him to stay at Wakefield.

I'd hate to see Salfords missed-tackle count from last night.

Noble is a terrible coach. He's trying emulate the Bulls' Awful Foursome, but it's not working with overpaid holiday-makers though.

49 missed tackles in the game by Salford, stars were theo fages (7) and Hock ( also 7).
Missing 7 tackles in one game?? They made it easy for Saints. I doubt Leeds, Hudds and Wigan will be as kind

Is that not the pay off with Hock. Eye catching runs, but the rest of the game is a bit of a chore??

THE SAINTS ARE BACK

About time too. obviously lacking a couple of key men in the last few years. Don't really see a weakness in the team now. The youngsters will only improve and our impressive looking forward pack still has the big man to make an appearance.

Leeds - saints is going to be very interesting.

I would put Leeds as favourites and I fear a Leeds - saints grand final but I would be quietly confident this time

COME ON SAINTS

As a Leigh fan, saints have always been my SL team and it's nices to see them back to playing like they used to.
It's inspiring to see all their youngsters coming through too like those who name I won't mention they seem to have put a lot of faith in theor youngsters -and its payin off

I'm finding the Castleford and Widnes fans already being fully confident of avoiding relegation because they've won 3 and 2 games respectively. Jesus christ we're 3 games in. THREE.

Tbh if they only win 4 more games all season I think that's enough, so they have reason to be optimistic.

Have you heard the old joke about the 2 mates who are camping in the woods? A bear wanders into the camp and one of the guys starts to run away, what the other one slips on his running shoes. First guy says
They won't help you outrun the bear
Second guy says
I don't have to outrun the bear......just you!

Castleford are 10 points ahead of Bradford and have beaten them once already.
Widnes are 8 points shear of Bradford
London are locked in for 14th unless Bradford fold completely.....relegation is pretty much done after 3 rounds THREE

most open SL yet!

sibbs, i'm a Cas fan who is pretty damn happy with our start. we are 3 games in but the momentum DP installed started last year. we have won 6 of our last 7 SL games, we have a few injuries but nobody seems to realise that. not that it really matters as confidence is that high. the pleasing thing is our defence and the way we have won each game quite comfortably. 4/4 next week

I don't think Cas have anything to worry about this season.
Although they wont be playing in the GF, they will be a comfortable mid table team and may make the play offs.
Widnes beating London was no surprise but, beating Huddersfield was a major shock !

I'm not saying that London will stay up but, they will get better as they add to their squad and the team starts to find its way.
Hopefully the same applies to Wakefield but, who knows.
At the moment, these are the 2 worst in the comp and even with the Bulls points deduction, they are only 2 points adrift now.

Wakey just scored 24 against the double winners, you cant be that terrible

London will pick up a win this year if they get a decent draw against a championship team in the cup.

GGegenerally 16 points should see you ok. 8 wins.

9 points should be enough to stay up this year.

9 points should be enough to stay up this year.

That's 18 points in total then?
