Most teams havent got a clue when Saints just get a rollon and run the ball - theyve won umpteen trophys with this style.

You are right, and we've always been soft when people take us on up the middle (from dummy half).

26 unanswered points in 31 minutes is unacceptable for any team that wants to win things.

especially when you consider that we missed all but one of our goals.

We didn't look fit enough to me.

Yes it's game one, but international class players shouldn't concede 6 unanswered tries in less than 40 minutes, that's shocking!

As for King & Monaghan.........

Shouldn't you be busy updating your sig or something eh?

Exactly, but some blinkered fans on here will still think the team were great and all is rosy in the camp.

6 tries to 2 isn't a close game to me.

Can't agree that we were pethetic, we did a good containing job first 40 and took the opportunity to take a good lead. At 14-0 we should have kicked on but as we know over the years Saints can turn a game so easily against us.

Thought in the main the majority of the forwards did well but not a lot came from the backs unfortunately, with Briers and Monas very quiet, they will need to step their game up if we are to do well.

Higham had a good debut and I thought he was odds on for MOM until Saints got into gear.

First half brilliant. Very strong.

Second half same old Wire.

Oh well.

i thought we got hit for 6 tonight, Roby, Graham, Pryce, Long, Gidley,Wellens, to be precise, Saints went to these big game players so much in the second half as they tore us up, abig second half they delivereed. our "big game " players went missing. Not Good Enough!

Wire weren't that bad. We only started playing in the last 20 minutes. For an hour you kept us quiet.
