Just got back from the game. You were too good for us in all departments today. However have to say Kris Welham's chase and tackle of Meli was absolutely fantastic and made my afternoon bearable (just)

Good luck against Wigan.

It was a great tackle.

That was my thread, I left it as over 10 points as I did not want to seam to arrogant to the Hull KR lot , by adding lots of + 20, +30 etc for Saints. Also thought with it being a quarter final the game would have been tighter than 20 points.

nowt wrong with arrogance mate.

I know I shouldn't laugh but was it lovegrove who took the knock to his head and lost the plot?

He could hardly stand up, the physio tried to get him off but then run in to the line and attempted a few tackles before he got escorted off.

What did you Saints fans think to the Rovers team today ?
Did you expect a tougher game ?

I expected more from you, you were really poor and your completion rate was terrible.

Saints were brilliant at times though, as good as we've been all season. Some of our tries were sensational, with Roby's probably being the pick.

To be honest I expected to win by about 20 points but with it being a tough hard fought game which it wasn't.

I thought hull kr looked poor. Dropped the ball far to much and was opened up far to easy.

I expected Dobson to kick wello to death but he was playing behind a beaten pack and was missing nearly all the game.

I thought they played OK in patches especially when they tried a few offloads. The problem was they didn't see enough ball due to forced errors and getting pinged by the ref around the ruck area. Don't know why Newton is on the outside at centre he doesn,t seem to offer anything in attack.
I was expecting a similar game to the previous superleague game, but Saints have gone up a few notches since then with getting most of there players back from injury.

I definitely expected a tougher game but I think in the end we really stepped up big time and your guys weren't quite at the races.

talking of great tackles, i thought Makinsons in the first half to stop Welham scoring was magnificent.

He just stopped him dead in his tracks on a one on one with Welham running flat out to smash his way over the try line.

What made it even more impressive was that Welham was completely wrapped up and could not put the ball down.
