Got to say I agree with Rogues on this, even though it pains me to say so...............

SP,
Watch the game again. Soliola comes in for the BIG tackle and misses. It's great when it comes off but he's been found out too many times.

Graham is going to be a big miss for Saints. I really think your pack will get found out but to be fair you did miss LMS tonight to give you some go forward.

Perrys shirt got lifted up part way through the second half and he's carrying plenty of excess weight by the looks of him. In fairness to the guy to keep yourself in shape whilst injured must be tough so if he has a run of matches now he should get in to better shape.

Dixon looks to have come on leaps and bounds and I thought Laffranchi was pretty good.

On the subject of Dixon, he wasn't picked in the 17 last week until flannery took ill. Looks like we dropped lucky as Dixon is on fire at the moment.

Just hope Royce keeps him in the 17 as flannery is total waste of space.

No S***!

Take the best (or one of) player out of any side and they will be missed. However a very fit, mobile and athletic pack (Perry aside atm) we may be in a great place to adapt to the new interchange limit whilst having plenty of grunt still available when the hard slog is needed. As Salford proved today, you need to have a squad capable of playing for the full 80 and we are well equipped to do that.

Could we do with a bit more? Of course! But show me a team in the league that couldn't do with a bit more of something in their side this year.

Perry does seam to be blowing alot, seams to need more fitness. He has a handy offload in traffic though and that's something Graham did not have. The Perry and TP where a bit sluggish to start, but as the game wore on got better. Salfords props went 100 mile an hour in 20 mins and burned up. I think we have time for our props to pick up. Lets face it we are going ok compared to last year much better 2 games 2 wins and no saga.

I've been a big josh perry fan for years as I'm a NRL fan and I've backed perry big time over the past 12 month but I've got to admit, he don't look half the player he was. It looks like the injuries he's had over the past month and possibly his age have caught up with him.

Must agree with you on Perry(average), but your opinion of Laffranchi is way off the mark.Took the ball up (one handling error)tackle rate was good,scored an excellent try,all in all,first class performance,Only thing wrong was he wasn't on for long enough spells. Certainly well above average.

Look again Rogues,

I think if you watched the game again without the "I desperately hope Saints new signings are rubbish" specs, your opinion of Laffranchi would change.

He'll be a quality addition to our squad.
