Full time, St Helens 54-6 Hull KR. Saints make their 11th consecutive Challenge Cup semi final

Great performance by the lads there. We seem to be finding some form just at the right time

Pryce made a hell of a deference today with his distribution. He worked very well with lomax.

Also, Leon looked to be having some trouble, looked like
Hip or possibly his groin. He stayed hunched over for good two mins but seemed to recover.

Newton put a late hit on Pryce around the lower ribs and hip. Thaler spoke to Newton might be a case for the disciplinary.

We seriously took them to the cleaners today.
ROby, Jammer and TP were their usual impressive selves and pryce made a massive contribution, but there were a number of very good individual performances - I thought WIlkin was MoM, LMS had a good game and Shenton was excellent in attack. Moore made his usual impact from the bench.

Re: Saints v Hull KR : Sun Jul 24, 2011 4:55 pm  

That is the best I have seen Saints play all season. Still one or two dumb passes by Meli, and Meli and Shenton need to up their defence as both were poor, TP didn't have his best game although a beautiful offload to Lomax for Moore's try, but other than that we were outstanding today. HKR didn't have an earthly. Totally outplayed. Best try of the match, though, must go to a Scott Moore/Tommy Makinson combo: Moore kicked a beautiful chip which Makinson caught cleanly and grounded. I'm not sure who was more surprised by Moore kicking like that, us or Moore!

Terrible turnout from Saints fans though but excellent turnout from HKR fans.

How shenton got mom over TP, jammer, roby, wilkin and lomax I'll never know.

Saints scored from a kick, I thought only Pat Richards did that, boring negation rugby.

Saints are coming together at just the right time and keeping Pryce fit would be a mega boost.

I would fancy you to push them close if keeping players fit.

i posted this on wednesday in the pre match thread.. as it turned out it does seem like a walk over.


i voted saints by more than 10, was looking for the more than 20 points option but couldn t find it.
it wont be a walk over, but will be a nice gentle work out for the lads and cant see anything but an easy win for us.

COYS.
