Well a very good start to the first half, especially considering the rain coming down the Tv for the Warrington match.

Jesus...how wrong was I.....

Good win, well done!!!

Well the signs where not good for you pre match, but to be fair I did not expect the tries to come from our backs. So surprises all round.

And how right was I?!

Didn't expect it to be so easy though, 2nd gear stuff from Saints. What went wrong at your end?

Whilst Saints fans may not feel like we're pulling up any trees, we do tend to complete a very high % of our sets and our strong pack means we can easily dominate territory, get up the field and grid down the opposition. This means that if a team doesn't bring a strong forward game, they're going to find them selves with a real up hill battle.
