I get the impression that Brown is favouring Dawson at the expense of one of our home grown talented young players in Swift, and I don't like it very much. Gaskell was shunted out by Brown. I sincerely hope Swift isn't going to go the same way.

Swift has massive defensive frailties in his game and I'm sure once they're sorted he'll get another chance. Just because they're homegrown it doesn't make them a better option.

You can't seriously think Brown is bad for the youth prospects, he's brought a lot of them through at the correct rate and they've impacted very well into the team.

Swift is excellent with ball in hand but I understand Brown's concerned over his defensive positioning.

Silverwood absolutely slaying us.

Re: 19 man squad announced for Leeds. : Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:42 pm  

One of the most disgraceful referring displays I've seen for a long time. I wonder if Silverwood joined the Leeds players in their post-CC celebrations.

8 penalties in the first half against us? That's most teams total for an entire game

Are you for real?

He went to the video ref to check for foul play and sent someone off, which i've never seen happen before. Then the 2 points you got was from a questionable strip from delaney, which was evened out by one for leeds a few minutes later. But the subsequent penalties, saints have been pushing the limit with lying on all night.

To say the ref is killing you is f*cking mental.

Re: 19 man squad announced for Leeds. : Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:58 pm  

In the lead-up to Leeds' try, he pinged us for a very slight forward pass, missed a knock-on by Leeds (then the Leeds player who'd knocked on going at the saints player). Took the tackle count back to zero twice (the second time very dubiously), a couple of what looked like crossing by Leeds, then penalised us. From the kick-off, penalises us AGAIN, giving Leeds the field position to score the try (although shameful defending from Saints gifted it)

Certainly in the 2nd qtr, Leeds got every decision.

I could list why you shouldn't of had 5/6 of your penalties, like Jamie peacock holding the saints defender on him for your first penalty goal, but you'd just ignore me rationally telling you that. The Leeds fans are ridiculous, they have booed all night, and the ref just caved into their whim immediately. As a result, we've had what? 3 play the balls in your 20 metre line in 40 minutes. With no chance of keeping you down their and win any arm wrestle, because the Leeds fans will just boo and result in a penalty.

Not really. BUT Saints should be handling it better.

COYS!!!!
