Good Win : Sat May 07, 2011 4:11 pm  

Good win for the Saints today nothing more. Would like to give Sheffield a big wrap for there effort!

Crusaders so Im told would have pushed Leeds even closer or may have won had it not been for a moment of madness from there second rower Cahill who was sent off for a wild kick on Rob Burrow.

Good win no thanks to Eastmond who was useless today

Sheffield No6 was outstanding and we could do with him for Saints

Re: Good Win : Sat May 07, 2011 4:22 pm  

Did we pick up any injuries?

Absolute blinkered nonsense. Saints supporters are so utterly stupid it's beyond belief. I sat and listened to them moan and moan about Kyle not attacking the line. What kind of scrum half attacks the line on his own 20 yard line? Kyle wasn't involved a lot today as they aren't putting any ball through him, everything went to Wilkin. When it did go to Kyle he used it well and did take on the line. He didn't have a bad game at all and people need to get over their bitterness about what happened early on in the season.

Talking about useless, Tom Armstrong struggled today. I quite like him in glimpses but I'm not convinced where he'll play. Centre perhaps. Ashe seems to be perfect Saints youth, half McVities and half Rich Tea.

I thought it was a pretty average showing today. A chance to exhale after the exertions of recent weeks but there was no particular effort from most players today. Wilkin was good again, Meli, Gardner and Foster and Roby of course. Man of the match by some distance was Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook, thought he was superb today.

Totally agree with this post and especially about Kyle Eastmond. I was one who didnt want him to play for Saints again but he played very well against Hull on Bank Holiday Monday and today like you said everything went through Stand Off Jon Wilkin so he wasnt involved as much as last Monday. If he keeps going as he is (Eastmond) I would be more than happy to put the past aside and support him doing what he does best for Saints.

Eastmond had an alright game. Put Roby through into a gap on a few occasions and took the line on when in a position to do so. Ashe picked up a knock when he hit the boards behind the sticks in front of the East stand. He was limping a bit afterwards and then they replaced him with Armstrong. A wise move as he could have aggravated it further had he stayed on the pitch.

His name is blackened in my book

When Lomax is fit he goes back into the reserves

Yes- three.

Kyle - groin strain
Nathan - reccurrence of his knee injury
Andrew Dixon - hip injury

No idea where we get halves and a fullback from now, unless Makinson has recovered and Wilkin can play 6 and 7 in one go! Hudds will crucify us!
