you may well be right about the choice that is made but if Lolesi replaces eorl with raleigh stepping up tio the front row then it surely casts significant doubt on the wisdom of signing Korki.

You would have thought that replacing a prop with a prop would have been the ideal solution. If Korki is not ready to step up now then i would question the wisdom of giving him a 3 year contract.

Or is the decision to play Lolesi a tactical one

Saints may well be missing Graham and Cayless which means they will play with a lighter pack, we need to counter their speed around the ruck. So Jammer would be the quicker option and would cycle better with Kirkmond / Finnegan and potentially Wild.

Korkidas is an option but he is more impact than pace. I'd save him for Bradford.

What's the news on Graham and Cayless, Wadski?

both doubtful.

Thanks for that.

From the link it looks like they are both likely to be fit. If they were to miss out then the need for big props might be lessened.


i am fairly certain we will need Korki for the Bradford game but he would surely need a run out before then.

The good news is that it looks as though Moore will be playing as their had been some suggestion that his loan to us might prevent him playing against saints. Maybe he will have a stinker and Saints might let us sign him permanently

In that case it will probably be Hargreaves and Fa'asavalu/Frodsham in the front row.

You expecting a big crowd for this one then?

Hoping...

Said 5 figure in the paper today, although that being somewhat optimistic.

Headline and report don't exactly marry up there do they? Graham doubtful screams the headline while the report says he (and Cayliss) are likely to be fit. I'd be much more confident if Eorl was fit but I can't wait for this game anyway - competitve RL for the first time in ages, and with a big crowd and good atmosphere too.

Cayless and Graham are out, should be an interesting battle of the packs. www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1559

OH FHOOOOOOOOOK

What is wrong with Alibert other than that he is an easy target because he is foreign?

You didnt go to Leeds last year Wes

He was very poor indeed that day, wasn't he. Fell for every Southstand whinge. Jammer binned and we still don't know why!

I agree. His decision making depended on the south stands moans! V.poor

he was very poor at leeds last year but when we won at hull he did ok

Any thoughts on this foreign ref today Wes?

You lost so he was crap.

glory supporter who follows saints home and away.

get to bed kid

Alright grandad

A line official in the 2nd half flagged twice, once for a knock on, once for a forward pass and both were ignored by Alibert.
Blatant holding down and offsides were ignored hand over fist.


His performance today was appauling.

What incentive is there for line officials to flag for clear infringments in future when they are not listened to?

We could blame our performance today, but we played well. The referee was a complete joke and nothing else.
If the RFL don't review his performance today and take action, any games that this guy referees in future will be a laughing stock.

You are p1ssing in wind.
