I keep checking the weather forecast, it's gone from light showers all afternoon to chucking it down 3 till 5, typical !!!

Nice and sunny at the min here

Flat battery means I won't be seeing the game live.



So either NowTV pass, or watch down the pub.

Saints are the best team so far, this could end in tears if we don't wake up

Good lord, this ref is desperate to give them 6 points isn't he.

20 mins in

error, penalty, error, penalty etc etc

Need to wake up soon. Luckily for us, Saints have no invention whatsoever and our defence is dealing with it so far despite us giving them multiple opportunities

How has he not been binned for that blatant trip?!?!

Well, whatever happens, Saints certainly can't blame the ref.

Same reason they didn't give a tip tackle on Wardle, the high shot on Miski or how he gave a pen against us for a Saints knock-on - he's absolutely bent AF.

Scary that some people just don't choose to believe it. He's an absolute scum bag.

Sort out our discipline and we can do this.

O’Neill has been horrific at 9. Need a fit Leeming in there but doesn’t look like that’s the case. Remarkable effort to still be only within 2 points though.

O'Neill has been absolutely everywhere in defence. We've been on the back foot most of the game - I'm not sure many hookers would be able to thrive in that half. Team penalties and errors are costing us. Problems if Thompson has failed his HIA which is likely if we're honest.

I’d like to see his missed tackle count, he’s been bumped off too much and not won the contact. The Thompson thing sums up the game though, Kendall allowing a free for all when it’s Saints defending.

Silly penalties and a bit rudderless in that first half.

I’d like to see Wardle get at Hurrell in the second half think there is some success to be had there.

Saints probably feel like they should be up by more but their clunky attack and excellent line defence by us has kept it so close.

I know it's all in the new rules, but that's not intentional and changes the game.

I'm on the verge of stopping watching this sport.

That's not even a penalty, never mind a red card!!!!

Game that makinson try

Sky Sports is now reffing the game. Every player needs to stay down when they feel contact so that we can have 7v7 once they get time to clip the contact for the big screen. We’ve been terrible with our discipline but that pitch is a death trap.

Worst reffing performance of a generation. They needed all that help and beat us in the last few minutes. Saints won't be anywhere near us at seasons end, i am more confident about that now. Utter crap from the ref, abysmal.

I can handle losing, I can't deal with decisions like that, that change games, if that's the new normal then this game is in the toilet.

Seen nothing from this saints team that worries me going forward. The return fixture we will batter these

Refereeing by Crowd.

Despite a poor ref performance I do think our discipline has let us down. And we played very conservatively. But the good news is that if that is the best Saints can do on their own pitch we will have no worries by the end of the season.

Felt that Byrne on Percival & Lees on Thompson were equal challenges.

At least the 2nd time this season Peet hasn't used all the subs though, if they're good enough for the 17 they're good enough to be on the pitch.

Defensively we were fine but in attack we looked off it, Field needs a rest (at least) as he looks well off it., not sure if he is carry a knock. Our link play was not there, too many of our players were too shallow at times - no depth.

Saints were hard working but way average, thier so called strike players did very little.

Ref was ridiculously one sided, every time we threatened to get back into the game he found a penalty for Saints and for some reason only one side deserved six-agains.

The Byrne sending off was an awful decision - ruinined the game and still can't figure out what it was for - his arm was down by his side, the Dupree one was much more of a red card in my opinion.
