Spot on.

Quins played some great rugby tonight.

We are not playing good rugby at all. The is no flow to our play.

The main thing though is it's another 2 points.

And they say it's sign of good team that wins when not playing well.

I don't know what everybody else watches but I thought we looked awful.

I'd like to know what Potter is training because our fitness & concentration looked shot AGAIN tonight.

FAR too many dropped balls bad passes and stupid errors.

I don't expect us to roll over teams but the performances lately have been awful.

Yes we had flashes of the old Long but then we had those terrible balls on the floor again.

Eastmond was non-existent and the backs never got a look in. Then to see Pryce on the wing when Kyle was doing nothing - shocking!!!!!

Gidley came in field on a number of occasions just to get involved.

A VERY VERY poor display for me!!!!

At least it was 2 points gained unlike our home games against robins and hull kr.

Don't forget we was backing up from a trip to France after good win over there.

We definitely missed their kick returns, it just shows how diverse a wingers job is these days.

I thought our passing was poor at times, we had many opportunities to get Gidley one on one with his opposition centre but failed to get the ball to him.

Absolutely the ball hardly moved.

And the defence out wide - Gilmour - Great chase - tackles their player on their line and the next tackle is fourty yards up the field.

Dear me!

Dead right. Quins outshone us tonight by miles.


Well, it is in terms of league placing but in enjoyment terms it's not. I want to enjoy the rugby, win or lose, not have to put up with that kind of performance to grab two points. And we look unfit. Either that or demotivated.

Just said exactly that on another thread.

It's a worry.

Same old, same old from Saint From Prestwich (the crypto-Wigoon) who is now reduced to criticising us when we win against top four opposition.


Make no mistake the Quims are a top side and will be in the mix come September.
To all the Meli and Gardner haters out there, we missed them big time tonight.
Oh, and without Jammer we'd be totally fecked up front. Back to back MoS and no mistake.

Back in the smoke - have to say I thought Clough was your stand out tonight - thought there were 2 of him as he seemed to be everywhere.

Agree with the Clough comment, he gets better and better.

Dominated the first half, hardly saw the londoners. Maybe on a dry night we would have had that game sewn up at half time ? Or maybe not as Londons defence was tip top and matched ours. I thought our D was a lot better last night, very impressed with it throughout the night realy, and that was with a bandaged up team to.

Low entertainment game, but great to see us come away with the 2 points and remain in pole position for another 2 weeks.

Understatement of the month there! Quins made us look like we were half asleep.

A makeshift backline,two front line props and their understudy missing.
Some people cant get their heads around the fact that we were never going to blow
the Quins away.
They tackled well and never threw the towell in. Scored two trys one an intercept if he'd missed it was another Saints try.
Good Saints win tonight.
When we knocked Leeds out of the cup where were all these posters telling us that Potters destroying our attack,hopeless at defence etc.
I seem to remember it was other way round,probably the same posters that are now telling us he's crap.

Whereas some of us already knew that before the match started because we have a healthy respect for Quins but that still doesn't stop us thinking that Saints were dull tonight and lacked inspiration/energy/motivation/whatever.

It was a makeshift side with half the team playing out of position. To get the win was important, entertainment factor will return when the players can play in they're natural positions

Don't forget they had about 4 missing.

they did, but they are a top 4 side, we dont have a right to win these games

Nobody said that.

In fact I didn't expect to in last night.

We didn't play well again and was shown at times how to play rugby but we got 2 points and was poor so it can't be bad.

I was worried about last night too, I'd rather win poorly than loose well

True mate.

The main thing is the win. I'm sure it will all fall into place sooner or later

I think he meant that even though they had four players missing they could still be more entertaining than we were!

Spot on
