Cheers WIZEB, that’s Brett’s team talk sorted!

Good starting side, bench is ok, dont get over Faraimo, in fact I'd would rather have Wynne or McNamara on the bench.

Think it's a big ask of Houghton to do the full 80 in the warm weather today. For his sake I hope we don't turn the ball over as much as we have done lately.

Agree. Farimo would size of the bench. Wynne pace. We don't see what goes on behind closed doors so might be a reason why

Yep, all about our discipline today, with ball retention, repeat sets and penalties. Need to get some field position and let Sneyd, Reynolds and Connor conjure up some magic.

I guess its because he is leaving
No fan of Johnstone but starting him with Danny Houghton off the bench with a bit of energy in my opinion would have been a better option than Scott

Crowd sound awesome. Definitely have their part to play today and sounds like they're going to.

Re: Saints challenge cup : Sat Jun 05, 2021 1:41 pm  

Great first 10 minutes just grinding them down and forcing them to kick early from their half. Good chance now to strike first.
