I'm astounded that we played so well.

Nothing but praise for all the boys.

Didn't the defense look tight tonight and I know Roby will get the credit rightly so, but those young forwards tackled and tackled Cas to a standstill.

Can we afford to drop them?

This is the most frustrating thing, we've known they can play that well all season!

Well done to the lads, to a man they were incredible and beat their opposition man for man.

Walmsley in for Laffranchi for me ...

It was a very good performance, but looking at last week and now this, one could argue that Cas are well and truly gone. I think they're in for a hammering next week as well. I think their petrol light came on after their Challenge Cup semi final and they've been running on empty since. It's a shame as at home they could have caused an upset and removed one of the big boys, but no chance now IMO. They had no intensity or line speed tonight and we were very professional and made very few errors and the weight of possession and territory was all it took.

Roby was superb again, a proper Master and Apprentice performance against two very good young Cas hookers. The pack did well and T-Mak did superbly to take Carney out of the game completely.

Still not sure we've got what it takes to win the next game though. I envisage a similar outcome to the recent Warrington game at home.

I got that bored i turned over at half time, have had more entertainment watching paint dry

Re: Excellent performance.. : Fri Sep 19, 2014 9:46 pm  

One of our best games of the season, what I liked is that it was an arm wrestle the first 10-15 and our pack managed to grind Cas down and took over.
At times I didn,t know who was playing in the halves and loose forward as the team seemed to have adapted well to changing patterns of play, good to see Amor getting some go forward again and Manu gave Cas all kinds of problems.
LMS still doing a lot of work but Roby the star showing the Cas 2 hookers how to play, I liked the McManus comment in the programme that Roby is perhaps too good for the dream team....on tonights showing he is something special.

James Roby showing how to play the number 9 position. Pure masterclass tonight.

I think a big plus was attitude and our kicking game was outstanding!

Re: Excellent performance.. : Fri Sep 19, 2014 10:17 pm  

In terms of play off rugby it was a nigh on perfect display. Outstanding defence throughout, and as the game wore on we upped the ante in attack. We are a threat, make no mistake.

Re: Excellent performance.. : Fri Sep 19, 2014 10:17 pm  

I do think Roby's 80 minutes every match and amazing quality sets the bar so high he just finds it hard to get any higher , therefore an average match for Roby is a good match for anyone else.

Really took a strangle hold on that match.

Cas just folded in the second half and the Saints forwards had a field day.

Dare I say it but you played a bit like Wigan tonight but with the extra Roby gives you, but Micky Mac wouldn't give him that much room,
