Quote ="giwildgo"Yes, very good, you won a game at home against Wigan who could and should have had wrapped up with a bit more composure, by Eastmond's only real major contribution to the game against a tired defence - if you discount kicking early in the tackle count and hoisting a bomb et al in every set of course. I'm not doubting his talent, but overall he was pretty average tonight - he was far better against Warrington and Harlequins.
Glad that Saints fans are getting such a kick out of a smash and grab 4pt victory on your home ground, in conditions that favoured your depleted forward pack and disadvantaged our faster backline. Suppose its better than all the excuses about the injuries you were all spouting earlier in the week just in case - when in fact it only weakened your bench, whilst Wigan were missing their entire back row that started the season. Twitchy bums in St. Helens that the gap is closing I fear.'"
But you aint
Take a look at your back line (going off squad numbers) at the beginning of the season, some of them may have changed position I know and some may have been replaced in certain games etc
Mathers
Roberts
Goulding
Carmont
Richards
Smith
Lulu
ANd your back line tonight
Phelps
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Tomkins
Lulu
Earlier in the season most of, if not all, where asking for Mathers to be dropped, SMith to be dropped and Goulding to be dropped. This has in one way or another happened, Mathers sold, Smith injured, Goulding shipped out on loan and replaced with probably the best current GB centre. IMO your back line is now stronger than it was at the start of the season
