It shows browns not so confident in having Mose on the pit when we was down to 12. Amor and Lms run their blood to water while he was sat on his fat bum watching. I think he did about 30 mins of the 80 in a back to the wall game in which we had 12 men and players going down injured.

Laffranchi was woeful again. I'd never pick him for the club again, he's total waste of a player and Thompson, greenwood and sav bring much more than him.

We was effectively carrying to many players last night

I think Leeds did a similar thing last week not risking certain bench players when down to 12.

Totally agree about Laffranchi he is in "going home" mode and Soliola is going the same way. Thompson should definitely be replacing Laffranchi and why Sav hasn't played a couple more games is baffling.
Its also a strange one from Brown who before he came to the club was known for swapping and changing, he now seems to have gone the other way with the suspicion that he has "his favourites".

I'd 100% play Thompson every week if his form was what it was before he wasn't selected. He brings heart, comitment, energy and aggression.

Was Swift dropped again or injured?

Last night was the best thing that could happen to that set of lads. Learning the number 1 rule of Rugby League which is to give your all no matter what the circumstance. No one can criticise the lack of effort which we've been able to do countless times this season. We won't win anything but if we go out on our sword, we can't ask any more.

If we come back next season with the same attitude and a full squad, we won't be far away no matter what some of the melodramatic tools on here will have you believe. The biggest thing Saints lack is heart and we showed plenty of that last night. I'd like to think it was an invaluable lesson for next season.

1 good thing about Walmesley getting banned will be the return of Thompson. I'd start him next week, whoever we play. He'll run through brick walls for Saints.

We showed heart at the back end of last season too or have you forgotten games like against Leeds in the play offs when we lost by one? We have been no different this season though so I doubt it is a lesson we have learned or are going to learn.

You can say what you want about lack of commitment and leadership and I wouldn’t argue, after all you’ve seen more Saints games this season than I have, but when all’s said and done and taking into account swings and roundabouts, 50-50s and all that, and believe me I do hate to blame referees for losing games, but the LMS incident probably cost Saints the game IMO, and it was called wrong. You could say they didn’t deserve it, and some will, but for me that doesn’t change what should have been. When something so wrong cost the game, and remember there’s more than one official that should have seen the play correctly. If it was just the two points that would have been bad enough, but it could mean the loss of the LLS.
