Maybe he was just genuinely injured and all the rumours of a fallout were nonsense?

This. No more assistants learning on the job! He's dropped players at the right time, while keeping faith with others at the right times.

Having a spine of Hoy, Clifford and Trueman who are young a big difference too.

Hmm not sure, Smith's update that he had a bad hand but there were performance issues was still odd the other week, and generally teams strap hands up and tell them to get out there. But anyway a good performance and hopefully he keeps that up and wins a contract.

The excitement back for the first time this season.
will comment for my friends later.
What a shame we are losing Swift

Dont keep the fans waiting too long

Its even more enjoyable as we came back from a very dodgy start, when people were writing them off (rather unwisely as it turned out).

There’s a few wanna be soap opera writers on here.
Folk forget some players play busted carrying knocks etc.
Team spirit is high, we keep the likes of Trueman Clifford Hoy fit then we can enjoy a decent season ahead.

Come on Keith. Where are you ?

Think he maybe inconsolable for a day or two after a traumatic weekend

Rally up all your family and friends for Saints in the Cup, let's get all those who have understandably drifted away from the club in the stands, a shock win and we're suddenly in a Semi final.

And yes I do know it's Leigh next but the Cup is a bigger chance than scraping into 6th offers.

Thought we did well to go in at half time only 6 points down. Can't believe that second half. Hoy, Clifford and Trueman is a very good spine all had good games today.

We're going to miss Swift big time though unless we can bring in another winger.

Great performance today. We are starting to look like a decent rugby team again after the way we ended up after Hodgson had absolutely destroyed us.

Hope Griffins got another year

Ropeadope performance of the season !! Fantastic effort all round superb early defense kept us in there with a fighting chance second half .

Griffins crap.
Bonaire told us all.

Well that showed me - well played Tex Hoy , great effort for that brilliant Griffin try and what a great defensive shift the team put in today , Powell looked miffed at the end and I think that win will stand us in good stead for the Leigh game, which will be another stern test . What a game from Swift , his desire in chasing down that breakaway was awesome . Not often have I felt elated in the last 3 or so seasons but today feels special .

Great analogy.

My favourite part about it was his response in his interview. “I was just doing my job”. Love that attitude.

Tony Smith is proving to be the best of Coaching appointments you can see how all supporters of other teams he's coached hold him in such high regard because the passion today was second to none and even when trailing in the first half you couldn't help but be proud of the effort and wanting. That's all we want as fans, Smith has brought the pride back and the connect between fans and team we aint gonna win anything big this year but boy is the future rosey! When you look back that performance could have come out of the second half of 2016. Brilliant!

funny ,no sign of keiththered or the rest of them.i wonder why?

School tomorrow. Early night for Keith.

Wonderful performance by the lads. As Paul Daniels would say. Now That's Magic

Apparently his mother is washing his socks!!

Ouch

They are out looking for Mikey Lewis' dummy, and I don't mean a pass he hasnt thrown a good one for a month now
