Well injury has prevented my attendance tonight but it seams that the Saints players have done their part tonight. We just need a helping hand from Hull KR and Wakey now. http://www.superleague.co.uk/matchday/league_table Ah if only this was the table come the end of the weekend.

We played ok tonight and even played some good rugby with some good tries but the bulls was terrible.

Over the moon josh Jones got his three tries

We played the conditions very well. We didn't really make any unforced errors and the forwards completely dominated the Bulls pack. From that we were able to score dome nice tries, with the highlight being Lomax's effort in the 2nd half. Brilliant play from Makinson to tip toe down the touchline from inside our half and feed Lomax for a nice score.Josh Jones was also superb tonight and too his 3 tries well. Lomax MOM for me though, he completely ran the show.

Lance did ok tonight but nothing special. He's so slow on the ball it's unreal and some of his passes are just for passing sake.

He looked better when he run at the line. He took his try very well and reminded me of the lance hohaia of the NZ warriors.

Lomax was my MOM as well.

Perry and Clough played very well in the pack today. Wellens was almost error free. Shenton got some decent ball in the 2nd half. Josh Jones one of our better players took his tries well.

Just seen the tries on SKY. Some decent stuff.

I was impressed with the way we controlled the game. Our kicking game was high quality in both halves, taking full note of the windy conditions.

Our ball control was also excellent. I think we probably only knocked on twice in the whole game.

Thought Josh Perry went really well in the front row. Making lots of yardage after the impact.

Lomax however was a clear MOM. Not only was his support play top draw but he made numerous breaks and half breaks throughout the game.

Big wraps also to Josh Jones for his hatrick. He is an ungainly runner but takes some stopping and has good agility for a big man.Ive been racking my brains at were ive seen his head down running style before in a big man, and ive just remembered that its like a couple of Dick Huddart trys that ive seen on video. (before you start jumping to conclusions I AM NOT SAYING HE WILL BE A NEW DICK HUDDART)
Need to see Josh get put in the clear now to see how much pace he has.


I also felt Bradford were rather poor, and failed to capitalise on the wind in the second half. I really think their short turnaround will not have helped their preparation. Having played monday night they will have probably spent tuesday in rehab and video analysis, before doing a couple of light sessions on wednesday and thursday to try to go over some moves.

4th in the league is a massive improvement in a short space of time with an unproven coach.

Can we now lose the haters
