It's from reading general comments. You have a great side this year. Luke Walsh was stunning v wire and your forward pack is not great to watch as a wire fan. Aside from the regulars you have Masoe Masoe to come of the bench and he was destructive v nz. You chaps should have some faith in your side. Out of all the sides your odds on.

How did you guys think Hull went? It's hard to get a picture with Humberside's terrible commentary, but the impression I got was that we asked questions when we had the ball, but indiscipline gave you plenty of field position which you can't afford to do against a quality side like yourselves. Would you go along with that?

We were very poor bar a 20min period in the second half.

I'm worried for when we play Wigan, Leeds and Hudds

Typical saints- always taking the mickey when you've won well and slagging your team off if things aren't just as perfect as you'd like.them to be.

I don,t think we are "slagging our team off", its early days yet we have had 2 games so far which we would have lost last season.
We've got new players that need a bit of time to settle in, last year we slagged our team off for lack of effort, this season we are looking at further improvements from a successful start so far.
Hull were a very good team last night and exposed some of our weaknesses, its these areas we debate.

I think Hull will cause a lot of trouble for teams this year, they look a nicely balanced team, once they sort out the defence they should go OK this season.
To be honest I thought they got the benefit of Silverwood not policing the play the ball area to try and stop the momentum of our forwards. Luckily we have Walmsley and Amor who got us back on the front foot.
This game could have been a lot closer and could have gone the same way as last season, we are fortunate that Walshy brings us a kicking game so that we can defend in the opposition half.
I will be chuffed if you beat Warrington next game and put them in an early season relegation battle.

First half you was the better team. Your kicking game was top class in the first half and opened us far to easy for my likeing.

Re: Tonight's Game : Sat Feb 22, 2014 9:43 am  

Hey just checked my prediction on this game. I was only 2 points out for both sides.

32 - 20 rather than 34 - 22.

Hull are never easy beats.

Re: Tonight's Game : Sat Feb 22, 2014 9:47 am  

Our defence is a big worry for me. When Warrington on the odd time moved it wide, we was opened up with ease. When hull moved it wide, we was opened up with ease.

If we defend lie this against hudds, Leeds and especially Wigan (that move they do will rip us to shreds) we will be on trouble.

The first half Hull dominated us and i put this down to the occasion i think Hull wanted it more, aggressive defence and moved the ball very well. Saints up'd the game early in the second half and went on to dominate the match, scoreline should of been much more. Perfect try for Makinson ruled out just before Hulls late consolation.

2 very tough games for Saints and 4 points from it, got to be very happy with that as a saints fan.

We don't play any of those teams until the end of March, brown has accused them of complacency this week. There's plenty of time to fix the wrongs before we face them, and our game against Warrington shows we can mix it with the big boys, so I'm not too worried yet!

As the other thread said, we found a way to win, even if we were, mentally at least, a little off the boil.
