I can't fault the players' effort from 1 to 17, we deserved something out of the game.

Anyone think Ryan McGoldrick was superb today (apart from his pass that led to the interception) and that his kicking game was fantastic

Re: Fantastic effort : Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:06 pm  

I thought they were well drilled and played with great passion

Goldy and Milner marched us up the field very well. For me if Orr retires at the end of this season we have a replacement in Milner

That performance would of put 60 on Fev

Re: Fantastic effort : Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:10 pm  

more like 80 points, if sheffield can get 60 we could get more.

absolutely fantastic effort milner is great at 7 and looks a natural there, thought McGoldrick looked like his old self without Chase taking the limelight

I was very pleased with the enthusiasm and effort from the lads today. No one let themselves or the team down and this weekend has been good preparation for fev next week. My only criticism was why we spurned so many simple pens in from of the sticks. I counted 6 bang in front that we didn't go for goal from, only scoring a try from one of them. I dont normally say take the two, but no recognised half back playing we should have taken them. Oh well!

I agree with this.

I agree, should never leave the opposition's end without points after a penalty

Re: Fantastic effort : Mon Apr 09, 2012 9:26 pm  

10 out of 10 for effort, everybody should be proud of themselves, especially the youngsters. Thought Dicko played well at full back, and Milner was top drawer. Walker had another outstanding game as well.

Thought we were standing a bit flat in attack at the end and were so close to pulling it level. Oh well, enjoyed the game and came away from the ground feeling good.

BTW what was everyone's opinion on the first Saints try in the corner. Try or in touch ?

Credit due to IM as well for once again getting everything possible from his available resources. I was a big fan of TM but under his management we copped 2 or 3 massive home defeats from Saints when fielding injury hit sides.
