Pity Higham gave away the stupid penalty that gave Celtic the field position to score it

I do think discipline is a problem. However the refereeing was utterly random.

Briers impressed, certainly looked the most dangerous of all backs. Wood was excellent and his impact was just what we needed, I thought King did well, too, certainly looked more confident and seemed to be keeping good communication with the lads throughout. Both Briers and King seemed happier today, speaking and geeing up the others throughout.

I thought Briers was fantastic today..I know that goes against the grain on here but there you go...

King ruined a decent display with another rush out of the line which cost us a try...
Penny knockers take note..

Mitchell should be on the MOM list; the young lad showed a fantastic work ethic throughout. Riley was also strong although the nobs around me did nothing but slate the lad. Like I have said before, maybe some of these young local prospects should take to talking in Aussie accents.

Agree Mark - really like the look of Lee and I thought Riley had a good game today, OK he spilled a couple but generaly a good performance.
Just how quick is he, that chase back to save the try was impressive.

Rather they all had local accents, but I know what you mean.

[quote="mark_m"]Pity he made an absolute clown of himself by jumping out of the line and letting Celtic in for a try.

if he stayed in the line celtic would have scored he did what he thought was right king wasnt to blame for that try

tell you one thing that did cross my mind today, pie eaters and saints fans were bemoaning higham's passing off the floor which hasn;t been bad so far, however he doesn't seem to be too good running from DH then giving the pass, though you could blame johnners for one of them, over running it, but it did happen 2 or 3 times.

Riley was fantastic today with a couple of sprints to save us and to gain field position. He seems to be a great professional who plays with a big heart.

Briers for me.

I agree, actually, and I've been one of King's biggest critics.

That try was inevitable because our defence had been pulled apart in the previous play. It was five or six against three.
