We are our own worst enemy.

We were slow once and they got 6 again, taking the pee.

Sooner we get Hayes in ahead of Drinkwater the better.

Was that not a flop from scarsbrook

Small margins. But we're just not good enough.

Ben Currie.
What a big waste of space.

Frustrating because this Saints team aren't a patch on their previous GF winners but they are much better at niggle.

We don't look like we have the belief and our playmakera need to up their game massively.

Ps:- Dear Sam, bring a conditioner with you

If Drinkwater is our scrum half next season it will be a write off again.

How do stains get away with everything? Lying on, offsides, flops, stepping forward at the play the ball, forward passes......

Williams really has to start showing up in these type of games. He's the dictionary definition of a flat track bully.

For a marquee player, who is supposedly England's best half back, he shows absolutely no desire to grab a game by the throat and actually influence proceedings.

Yes, we are lacking in other areas, especially the other half back, but I expect and want far more from our supposed best player.

We were holding our own so Thaler gave them a bit of a leg up via penalty and letting a forward pass go. Dumb from Drinkwater though, Welsby was oviously going to throw himself on his own head as soon as his first leg was lifted, little scrote. We've done well and turned Saints around so far but this is going to be a valiant loss.

We’re in this. Just our own panic that is taking the pressure off then. The Welsby break coming off his line, the penalty against Crowther on the same spot, the penalties against Williams and Drinkwater have dictated the score line. I’d have got the tee out for the penalty just before half time, it’s kickable at 51/52 meters and we go in 1 score behind.

Keep our nerve and get some field position and we have a chance.

Because they practice gaming the rules and do it well. We havent mastered playing the ball under pressure correctly yet.

I'll carry them to Duckie's cab for him

Every time we play teams like these they get that two point cushion. We'd still be in this otherwise. If I was from WA9 I'd say it was a conspiracy.

That's the thing though, good field position has been so rare, and we come away with nothing when we get it.

It's typical of the officials to penalise currie for their messing and cheating whilst he is trying to get up. We just aren't supposed to win this. We are penalised for every infringement, saints don't play to the same set of rules. He'll give us a load of penalties to even it up once they have the next 2 tries or once we don't have time to stage any comeback.

If we manage a miracle and turn this one around will amor be able to hide his displeasure?

2 stupid errors from Williams and Clark (Just before the tip up) and we're 8 points down.

Tight game but we're still in this.

However we expended an awful lot of energy in that 1st half.

Kick chase to be improved and build pressure in their 20.
Easier said than done.

Not got much from the ref, or rather Saints have, but didn't expect anything else.

From watching that whole half, that’s your takeaway? Mind blowing

Jordy Crowther, an excellent half. Really impressed with his effort.

Saints are ahead because they deserve to be. This constant victim thing does us no service.

Get in. We should be under the sticks ks but hopefully this will kick-start us in this match.

Cheering every tackle then, arrogant gits, have that!

That looks worse every time. Well done Ben Failure!

Should have been red that, no wrap direct contact with the head. The lummox probably saved him the red.
