Saints were complacent.

I talked on our board today about how great sides like Saints get complacent once every few months whereas teams like ours get complacent every other week and think we've made our season on the back of a big win against an average side.

Unfortunatley i think we'll feel the backlash of this next weekend.

I think it may have been more that the Easter games have finally caught up with us.

Tonight they were either complacent or they were all hungover after celebrating the fact that Leon didn't go to jail

Bratfud deserved to win tonight.

Took their foot off the gas after half time. Simple as that.

It's strange how Saints only came back into it when Turry went off.

More like when Solamona went of, is when we got going.

2nd half was simlar to the hull KR game the way we coasted.

I cant blame them after some great performances over the last few weeks.

Glad they`ve got this one out of the way before murrayfield.

We lost tonight by just not doing the basics right;

- Completion rate was abysmal
- When we did manage to get to the last tackle nobody had a clue what to do (epitomised by going from attacking their line on 5th to handing the ball over inside our own half one tackle later)
- Constant penalties and knock ons in our own half
- Defence totally disorganised

Seemed very weak outwide today

Didnt know if it was Dean or Gilmour but the communication between half back and centre clearly wasnt happening and i think that cost us dearly

Gilmour was all over the place and was never in position, he kept drifting and leaving Gardner with two men to mark.

They swapped his side, i'm not surprised he gets lost he gets moved round more than a gypsy!
