It's that 'broken foot' thing. According to Nathan Brown he has a broken foot. Let's just hope it's less of a broken foot than Turner had as I think he is one of if not the best of our young forwards (Greenwood also looking very good).

I went to the match tonight and I have watched it back because although we were far from perfect, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a similar Saints to the Saints I saw in the early part of the season, and I include the little kick that didn't quite come off for Walsh which shadows thinks was Walsh trying to score points against Brough (bit of a daft thing to suggest really). I like it that we have a halfback willing (and often capable) of mixing it up and trying things out. That way he remains edgy and the opposition will find him difficult. I love watching Walsh play when our forwards allow him to, as they did tonight.

Particularly Mosoe. He was wonderful. If he is still learning, as he said he was in his Sky MoM interview, then we are in for a treat once he's got to grips with his role. He was knackered by the end of that match but he worked really hard and all his offloads were class. We were all singing his name in the West Stand. What a treat. Our impact forward dropped noticably when he went off.

Roby looked like the old Roby - at last! He was zipping around all over the place. Great to see.

I don't know what has happened to Soliola because although his first half was pretty good he was back to his relatively invisible self in the second. Shame really as he has been so good for us previously and we need him to up his game while we are short on forward punch.

Wellens has to play full games, somewhere. His leadership is invaluable to us.

Although we still made some unbelievably dumb errors and our goal line defence is useless, I really enjoyed the match tonight. We scored some lovely tries and our commitment was back to its early season form.

The test now comes to see whether we can replicate it as a minimum for a second consecutive week, preferably improving on areas where we are still clearly lacking.

Very pleased.

He took the ball up for 16 carries gaining 155 metres with 2 tackle busts in heavy traffic and 2 offloads don't think he missed a tackle. Also intelligently positioned for his try between the sticks.

Played a "hybrid " kind of game for a forward seemed to be playing 2 roles as a holding and impact prop, not sure but I thought he did 2 stints in each half for around 40 mins, post match he looked pleasantly knackered.
Hopefully this is a benchmark for him as his match fitness is improving every game.

16 carries at 9.69m per carry, 2 tackle busts, 1 clean break, 0 errors and a try.
If Taylor registered those stats you would be foaming at the mouth.

Either post sensibly or disappear.

Re: Teams for tonight : Sat May 24, 2014 7:35 am  

Taylor has regularly posted them kind of stats and so does clubb but that has nothing to do with it. Huddersfield were soft last night and the kind of player Mose is you would expect a hell of a lot more, some of you should go back and watch panthers games from last year if that performance got you excited last night you would be creaming if he ever reaches last season form.

it was a decent work load for the stints he played for 1 clean break came from the silver wood obstruction plus the try of course and only 2 tackle busts isn't good enough for mose.

Mose has made more metres than Chubby or Taylor so far this year according to the stats with Mose missing the first quarter of the season so far.

Chubby is also one of the worst defenders for missed tackles at Wigoon.

Masoe was very good last night and the stats back that up.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Some of us DID watch Penrith last season. Once I knew we were getting Walsh and Mosoe I watched every Panthers game.

You're making an ass of yourself. Go back to your own board.
