Enjoyable evening - thanks Lads
Golden point with a Welsby decider drop goal !
Saints 18 Hudds 14 A tight game with Hudds hitting form. Saints to defend well , same attacking frustrations.
what happens if we drop the numbers in SL to match it - the SL clubs probably then keep their income ? Would be a shame for the clubs that get dropped. Is it tied to the rumoured restructure ?
The interest thing around the TV deal is that SL clubs are going about signings like its business as usual (Lomax etc). £14M is a huge shortfall. If that is the case then where has the money been going beyond the SL Clubs. Our League and other developments although positive are not going to bridge that gap.
I think Radford will be either a huge success or a massive failure. The early signs for me will be if he goes back to the Hull well. If Andy Last and Jamie Shaul join him there will be problems. If if goes for some of his clever signings like the winger from the army and uses local talent he will go well.
Q for Dave P When is ryan brierley signing for the Colarado Lobbies? Is his Dad Paul Rowley taking him ?
Biggest news in Womans game this week is the appointment of Lindsay Anfield at York. They will become a top team.
Also no other saints players given a ban for their referred offences
Matautia - no mention on Disciplinary this week, so should be able to play
We may well struggle against Huddersfield - their pack will be good and we will be weakened, they will be very encouraged
Greg Inglis prob one of the biggest RL stars over last 10/15 years making his comeback...... And it isn't on SKY?? says a lot about the promo of our game
Is the mystery of not putting points on lesser sides down to the fact that other than ruck speed we are the easiest to defend against ? No second phase or variety. Might also explain Saints fitness down to energy conservation in attack. sione mata'utia is an edge runner. Raises some questions of where Thompson fits in and why we bought him given his skillset (Mark Bailey Hands). Perhaps Thompson's future is at 13
Fair play to leigh - they played well, saints were woeful in first half, I couldnt follow the 6 again rule - seemed very inconsistent. We really need to look at the attack.
Well said Parky. If you can't discuss and compare 2 good players in the same position before a game then we're taking the rivally/passion and interest out of the game. Surely watching 2 professionals going against each other to see who is the best is part of the game.. Isn't it???
