Good effort with a makeshift 17,we could have followed Rovers example from last year and took it steady last week,lol.

Ref was poor last night, saints look like adopting some wigan tactics, watts was outstanding, had a great game. How good is yeamans left side defence! Really going to miss it and hard to replace, really missed it last night. Looking forward to next week, back to full strength, and hopefully smash the pies all over

I agree, some were saying similar things about Jamie Shaul a couple of years back.

Believe Michaels cannot be retained because of youngster contract upgrades and therefore salary cap.

Good effort last night but we all knew we'd struggle to get a win with last weeks effort and the celebrations that followed.

Can't say I was that impressed with Saints, think we'd have done them over easily with our first choice lineup. They look the easiest draw in the playoffs to me, even with Wigan's inconsistent form.

We will have 3 players that can play 6 next season, Carlos T, Abdul & Connor.

I still feel we could do with a backup hooker that can also play in the halves as cover to inject a bit of pace in to games and offer something different. A bit like what Heremaia used to do.

Tommy Lee will be back up for James Roby in 2017.

Good

Don't see the problem with Snyed and Carlos at 7 and 6 to be honest, we look solid as a rock and well balanced, we've won cc, top of the league, with that pairing.

Can't please everyone, we've got a very strong squad with some good signings only making us stronger, young Wray who we've just signed is a quality pivot for his age, let's just see how we go, we was critisised for our squad at the start of this year & it's been ok...lol.

I think we're fine in the halves.

Did anyone else think we missed Yeaman? Whoever plays there next year has some big boots to fill in defense.

Big time, makes you realise how strong his defence is, we had similar problem beginning of the season with logan in that centre spot, not seen enough of griffin to say he can fill yeamans boots defensively

my thoughts exactly.he was average tonight.

I thought this last night when I saw the leeds tries v salford. grffin was all over the place at times

We probably have more than that but doesn't mean they're good enough. Our attack relies far too much on sneyd, particularly our kicking game

naughton has been really good when he has had a run in the team. You can't expect him to come in every few weeks and be top class

We will be ok pal, if out its going to be stronger, pryce is Absul will be a very good player & Connor is good, plenty of talent pushing eachother for the 6 shirt is healthy.

We'll see. I'm not convinced any of them will become a top class half

To be fair the position nowadays is not as creative it's more of a running game, Carlos has the right attributes to develop into a very good 6. Leave it to the club they've got it right.

The players you mention may be able to play 6 but they dont enhance the team as an attacking side.
You say 6 is more of a running game and Carlos has the right attributes to play a running 6 but have you seen him run the ball since he has been playing six?
All he is doing is receiving and safe passing however his defence has improved since he arrived.
We will get the best of Tuimavave back in the centre where he has more room to run and back up breaks.
We need an established six to take this team to the next level.There is no point wishing and hoping Carlos will suddenly develop into a top 6 he wont.
Whatever you say i still expect the club to sign an established 6 how and from where i dont know.

Warrington go top.

We still need to beat Wigan on Friday to make a home play off almost certain. Could do with Wigan beating Warrington the week after. Looking like the Hull v Warrington game could be a one off game for the League Leaders Shield.

Think Carlos has all the attributes. Think Connor could easily make stand off his position next year as well.
Carlos is good defensively and has the ability to inject himself into the game. Don't think we've seen the best of him yet.
Sometimes overseas players can take a full season to acclimatise.
There again, there's a local stand off becoming available soon isn't there?

According to Stevo, Wire wrapped up top spot today!

he may have got confused when struggling taking his Catalan replica top off , along with his Catalan bobble hat, and catalan scarf while packing away his "Die Warrington scum" banner.....

the bloke is an immaculate cretin of the highest order and was (as usual ) clearly rooting for a Wire loss today.....

but nothing changes, it still comes down to the last game between us two.....
