Yeah i always thought he played on the left edge, same as Holmes, always played on the left and is a great second rower. We've moved him to the right and he's playing nothing like he usually does.

I assume that Powell played Holmes as right side 2nd row, so that it didn`t upset Currie, who was had played there throughout his career.

Holmes needs to be moved to left side 2nd row, to see if he can rediscover his form, and if it upsets Currie, then.......tough.

Don't worry Duckie. We will start our assault on Old Trafford this week.

Just watching Saints v Leeds tonight. Leeds unlucky to be not level at the break. And that was never a try at the end by Grace. First off the ball only touched the floor after he was held up. I'd consider that to be a double movement. Secondly on the replays it looked like the ball fell out of his hand and then touched the floor. A real stinker and it was only given because it went up as a try by the ref.
Also Saints seem to master slowing the play the ball down, but without getting pinged by the ref. Really frustrating watching them defend. I suppose it's fair play to them that they have mastered it and get away with it. Maybe we should try to emulate.

Saints fans singing winky winky Warrington at Austin.

Agree with your comments, but the result was a bonus for Wire in the League Table predicament that we are currently in.

In our sport top teams are the ones that can manipulate the ref. Saints are a top team.
