It was at about the same stage of his career that Foster started his steady decline into a points machine (for the opposition). Let's hope Makinson can put this behind him and not start down the same slippery slope...

I hope he does because I like tommy but I was shocked at how easy his head dropped today.

It's a big test of tommy mentality now. Foster lost it, let's hope tommy won't.

I think we need to give some credit to Widnes in making it an uncomfortable match for us. Widnes looked stronger along the back line than us, another 5 mins and i reckon Widnes could have scored again, bet Dennis Betts was pleased with his sides performance.
For saints the win puts us in a great position to push on, win all our home games with the odd away win.

Arrrr at last a bit of credit for us. A team next to the bottom of the league,pushing a top four side all the way.We could and should have won today,there again its only Widnes.

Re: Never write off the Saints : Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:28 pm  

Widnes are finding their feet and are a good team when they want to be (they beat us remember) but the main worry for you guys is the way brown seems to have imploded at Huddersfield at the minute Rush and KC may actually be a better bet.

Here's hoping, well for your sake, that brown is just distracted that he's on his way to your place. Well not just for your sake I want a good game against you I don't want him to take you low and us stuff you I'd rather you were the team of a few years ago we could beat you but you made it damn hard!

The OP is right you should never right off the Saints. An awesome result for you guys to beat Widnes by one whole & complete point.

This result has put down a marker for Super League teams like Hull KR, Salford, Wakefield & Castleford who will all have to sit up & take note.

Yes, about Salford...........Salford 48-24 Warrington

03/06/2012 - Warrington 22 - 23 Hull KR

29/06/2012 - Warrington 24 - 48 Salford

On current form, if the above teams need to sit up and take note then you need to climb out of that hole you're in. Oh, and before you say 'look at the table' there's one more result I'd like to remind you of:

30/03/2012 - Warrington 16 - 28 St Helens

You absolute whopper.

Gutted after the result today!

But well done Saints and quality from Gaskell.

Tipped you lot for the Grand Final win at the start of the season...

Widens have more going for them than their league position suggests. They're certainly a strong team carrying the ball forward with some big guys in their forwards.
One of their problems is that they don't defend that well quite often, although that wasn't particulary evident yesterday.

Re: Never write off the Saints : Mon Jul 09, 2012 7:28 am  

It was a great game of Rugby League. Look at the good stuff rather than errors.

No mention of the Touch Judges so far though!

Re: Never write off the Saints : Mon Jul 09, 2012 8:19 am  

I thought Widnes were the most enthusiastic of the 2 teams and were unlucky to win the game...still only their first season back in SL and they certainly seem to be making a bit of a fortress of the Stobart Stadium as it isn't easy to go there and win!!

They are rumoured to have some more good players joining them next year and think they will improve and be challenging for the top 8 in next couple of seasons
