Have we seen the return of the entertainers? because i was certinly entertained from the first minute all the way to the eightieth minute. Top class performance by all, and i know i've criticised Meli on other threads, but he looked confident under the high ball, even under pressure, and run some good yards as Ade did like wise.

we play to this level on Friday against Wire and GF against Wigan and we'll give them something to worry about. COYS

Hohaia is a class act. Ran the game like a veteran.

I wondered how long it would take someone to conclude it was all Lance's doing. It was the pack that 'did' that tonight. Puletua, Perry and Roby were unplayable in the first half, Wilkin, Clough and LMS in the second. The pack were outstanding.

Lance played well, taking care of the kicking game and leaving the controlling and running of the plays to Lomax, who looked his old self again tonight as he was playing behind a winning pack.

My thoughts exactly. It was always the senior players/forwards who were the problem, not helped of course by having Roby missing for three weeks and having too many errors in our game (lack of commitment IMO).

Just watching the Sky+ now. Missed tackles in the first half? Zero. That's incredible. That today is probably the best Saints performance in years.

There's a few senior players that have questions to answer over what they've been up to so far this season and to what they've done to earn their wages, of that there is little doubt.

Was an absolute pleasure to be at langtree park tonight. Not felt an atmosphere like that for a while.

SAINTS ARE BACK

I'd recorded the match to watch after kids' bedtime. Have to say I wasn't looking forward to it. What a lovely surprise. Not just the score, but seeing a Saints side passing the ball, breaking the line and supporting the runner. So much better to watch than the one-man-up stuff we've had so much of. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's some collective guilt by the players that they lost Simmons his job. But let's hope they can keep it up for at least another two weeks, hey ?
