| Worst 40 mins of rugby I have seen since ermmmmm I dunno 1982 maybe.. hells fire I almos left and got in the car and drove to widens and purchased a season ticket, only the fact that the PA announcer played some great music made me stay and see one of teh best second half turn arounds seen in superleague.
Great time to be a redvee fan at the moment, enjoying the comments on the terraces from the frustrated faithfull. Roll on Headingley, should be a beauty, if nto, then the mexican on the high street is so yummy that it puts a smile on me face even when we got whooped 70 - 0 and the os stuck us in a table in the window ![Smile icon_smile.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Giants weren't penalised once for holding down. Check with the stop-watch - your PTBs were just as long/short as ours.
Both sides were offside - who got pinged most?
Ref applying rules - Finnegan penalised for a head tackle when the head was at waist level; Cunningham performs his usual and nothing happens.
Some ref, some rules.
If you're going to comment, watch the game and comment objectively.
To the majority of Saints fans, thank you for your fair and worthwhile comments and praise.

You need praise from us?
Anyway. Holding down is the name of the game this season. We're still practising it because our forte was speedy rugby league of the attractive variety.
We were awarded 12 pens to your 4, I think. But you are the second most penalised side in the league so I guess you must be doing something wrong somewhere!

You are right on that one, but knowing our luck with props this season he would have been out for half a season injured.

all I'm saying my old mate is I don't think these kids are as good as what other teams are bringing in. That's all my mate ski.
Eastmond, wheeler and lomax look good but rest I'm not so sure.
At no point did I bag them. I just don't think they are as good as other teams kids.

I sincerely hope Ellis gets as good a shout as Eastmond has had. Hopefully we'll remember how to play well and win games with confidence sometime soonish so that Ellis can be a part of that experience rather than being picked as part of a losing team.

| the only reason your reserves beat ours by six points was because our reserves were playing your first team at the time, 3 hours later in fact, i have already posted once this season saying the saints youngsters are nothing special and not one of them has done anything yet, including eastmond, without long and kc they will struggle next year, and another thing scott moore is not the answer, shaun lunt will be a far better player mark my words.

your correct our youngsters don't look that special apart from eastmond and wheeler.
To say eastmond ain't done anything is off the mark though mate.
He took wolves apart, last min try to win game against pies, outstanding at quins and looked good when coming of the bench last year.
Not bad for a kid who as only played about 6 games!

The holding down is there for all to see, excessive compared to previous years, probably by all teams in fact. Not there fault though as it's obviously being allowed by RFL directives to the referees who aren't awarding penalties as much as in the past.
Regarding the offside I have watched most of the game and nearly every single offside penalty was spot on. The reason for that was that you were over eager and yards offside when the PTB was taking place. One one occasion 10 of the Hudds 13 were 2-3 yards in front of the ref when the ball was played. You are so keen to move up you conceded a bag load of penalties. About time I say.
On the plus side, your squad is that fast and more dynamic than we are at present, that you don't even need to charge forward and jump the gun, you are fast enough anyway with normal line speed.
Regarding watching the game, I do watch the game and closely, and who are you exactly to comment on how I see it? I'm sure you are completely unbiased of course and see it all black and white! Get over yourself.

And we had at least two reserves playing first grade plus we also had a number out injured, so our remaining reserves beat your remaining reserves by six points.
And our reserves now (including those who play at first grade more regularly), who you think are nothing special, were part of the team that won their Grand Final last year as the academy (bar Eastmond and Wheeler, who are older). So if they are nothing special then heaven knows what yours are!

that's true our isn't good enough but how is the pack going to be any better next year?
Gilmour going will make the pack a lot weaker. God help us if we got 1 or true injuries in the forwards.

I can't see how our squad could look better next year to be honest.
The loss of gilmour will make our pack even weaker and ashurst, dixon, emmiitt who will be regulars won't be ready to step up yet.
You say cayless off the books but what's to say we will replace him? We don't replace players anymore. I think frodsham will replace cayless.
I do think the backs might be better with soliolia coming in and wheeler, lomax and eastmond will add the pace we need but as I said I don't think the yound forwards will be up to super league level next year.
IMO if we bring in 1 prop(we need 2 really) and graham stays fit then yes we might challenge next year.

Fas should be back and he has missed a lot this year, that is like having an extra forward,and we haven't had Cayless all year so 1 new good prop maybe enough.

I don't want to sound to doom and gloom but I think potter has got huge problems next year. Even worse if no props are brought in.
I bet deep down potter wishes he stayed in sunny south of France.
I'm hope I'm wrong but that's how I see it.
