Any news on Swift? That try on the first half hooter was top notch

TS said after the match that he got a knee in the back which resulted in a dead leg & back pain but he should be good for next week.

Would be the first timely boost of the week

If there was ever a reason why we need to sign some big forwards

, then that was it , We defended well but we was always struggling to contain Les Dragons pack .
They slowed the ruck area down and made it even more difficult to make any yards .
Not to disappointed with the result , couple of poor reads and the result could have been different .

We got bullied upfront and they off loaded at will but due to the massive effort we put in managed to stay in the game.Our goal line scrambling defence was superb.

Disappointed with the result but at least we are showing some character. Something that has been missing from us for years.

More confident than ever that Smith is the man, imagine if he was in charge of any of our squads from 2018-2020! Massively uplifted the performances of some limited ability players.

Next seasons signings are more key than ever, with our finances I expect more unknown and unsung names than household names but if we get this right we are back in business next year I feel.

Then there’s Bousquet‘s try - surely that was double movement. Dived over with ball in his right hand, right arm goes down during tackle, removes ball with his left hand and puts the ball down outside the upright. Not saying we’d have won but wrong calls, small margins and momentum. If right calls made maybe we wouldn’t have had to force it.

I'm away and watched it on the app, nothing wrong with it, couple of 50/50s but ref had a decent game

Agree, some fans think the world is against them too often. SL does need video ref at all games though, this inconsistency between TV and non TV games has gone on too long now.

lack of pace and power in the forwards has to be addressed for next season.
The team needs to start working on faster play the balls which seems to me to be the reason they are on the wrong end of six again calls.
Once again you cant fault the effort but we were dominated today

Agree with all you said, never said otherwise, you never answered the question, why didn't you comment during or after the Saints match, whilst you couldn't wait to post on here when we get beat.

Because he's already put on the record that he doesn't think 'tinkering Tony' will see out the season.
Probably sat in his bedroom, by his radio, cursing every victory we have cos it doesn't help with the sh!te he's already posted.
For what it's worth, thought we huffed and puffed a lot today, and couldn't fault the effort but we are presently a below average SL team.
Those posting this week still with a belief of top 6 are either deluded or haven't been watching the same side I have.
No doubt, we've had our moments, but never shown any consistency that equates to us being able to get near challenging.
All about onwards and upwards, innit.

I think you will find i did post after the Saints match
You used to be a reasoned sensible poster on here but as i said you have chosen to go Griffin jumping on some peoples posts.
You dont need to follow some of the children on here you were better than that.

Save you checking if you are on holiday

What a quality performance from a makeshift team.
dominant all round and out enthused Saints.
See what a disciplined team can do when you are not using up all your energy defending from errors and repeated six agains
