If you remember in pre season Dom Peyroux was refused permission to return home to be with his Wife for the birth of there second child. He said Saints wanted him concentrating on the games ahead ready for the season

So why in the super 8s against our fierce rivals do Saints allow Jon Wilkin the pleasure of spending 2 days in Brazil to see his partner compete in the games.

The club is run by the Saints boy club. We need a full revamp from coaching staff to players.

Well when I says 2 days he only spent 24 hours in Brazil but the point still stands

Too true and it showed in his performance tonight / last night.
however I don't know what excuse the rest of the team had.

It was a bit like back to the future. They lost the plot from minute one and never at any stage looked like winning against a pretty average goon team who were still way too good for us..

He was awful. I said to my mate after 15 minutes that I was pretty sure we had the game because Wilkin was having one of them games where his dummy is on the floor and he looks like he thinks it's lost before its begun.

When things are going well he's a good player but his leadership is so poor in more challenging circumstances.

Always liked Wilkin, but I was surprised at the new contract, like O'Loughlin I think they have well passed their peak, they may still have a little class left but not top super league standard, just hope that Jon does not expect or want to join the old boy's club when is career ends.

How did fran do ?

Fran missed out a week ago for a bronze medal by two one-hundredths of a second.
