Fair comments, but I also think that as well as us being off beam, you didn't let us play. The tactics employed were spot on, and the large majority of your forwards were outstanding and it was a well deserved win.
I havent heard anything about problems with Potter, however when your 24-6 down to your local rivals and he is stood at the door saying nothing it doesnt really inspire confidence.

We've looked half cocked in attack for since the beginning of the season. We clicked against Leeds and Cas away. Each time I've thought that we might kick on but it's not really happened. Even against you men during Easter we only really clicked for 10-20 minutes going forward, unfortunately for you that day we were matching you in defence.

This weekend we didn't, you had a gameplan that was implemented well by the players with hard work, you worked a damn sight harder than we did and reaped the rewards, I mean we didn't even put that defensice powerhouse that is Tim Smith under any pressure.

We dominated the game from start to finish, Noble deserves total praise for that gameplan.

As for Potter - Surely not trouble at club?

Don't wet yourself too early, you've won one, we've lost one, doesn't mean we're finished.

Yeah, whatever.

Any chance you could amend your sig?? It's (ahem) well out of date...!

Have you not noticed other games omitted from his sig? Bet you can't tell what they've got in common....

The game against bradford, we went back 50 meteres then got caught on the 5th

Wouldn't surprise me!

I'm sure you know better than to get carried away over 1 game mate.

Not getting carried away, just pointing out the finer detail.

In all seriousness, Potter has a huge job. In the next 2 years he needs to replace Cunningham, Long & Wellens and no matter what they say, Flannery aint replaced Scully.

It will be interesting what happens with the lad at Hudds. He is OOC at the end of the year, cant see him settling for another year on loan whilst Roby totters around as KC's seat warmer.

Cunningham said in the Mirror on Saturday(in the middle of his murryfield winge) that he will probably play on next season so to me that means Moore will be leaving Saints which could be a move that will haunt them in years to come.

Long may move on after this year and people can say what they want about Eastmond but he's yet to prove to me he's anywhere near replacing a modern great like Long.

Wellens has another 4 or 5 years in him probably but i don't honestly think his form of the past 2 seasons would warrent him being that much of a loss anyway if he was to retire.

Saying all that they've got new leaders emerging like Graham, Wilkin and Roby so they're going to be right around the top end of the table for a good number of years yet.

There is no way Wellens has 5 years left in him.

Long will go at the end of the year.

KC may want a new deal, but can the club be loyal at the risk of losing Moore? Its a helluva call, McMaunus & Potter have a horrid decision to make.

Just going off his age really.

What is he now? 28ish?

I can see him playing on that long in all honesty but surely a move away from fullback will have to happen.

I'd guess we'll see him moving to centre/second row over the next couple of years.

Fair play to you for coming back on here pal

there you are

'"

If i said that that match was the best thing that happened this weekend, you'll know how bad my weekend was.
Anyway onwards and upwards, got an important cup match and a trip to cats to plan for!

He had his poorest game so far for us. Then again, I could be talking about any of our players on Saturday.

Hey, hey, don't belittle our achievement with your dumbing down of Saints performance. We did you good and proper...

I think he came back a week too early, looked well off his best.

Can't argue with that.
