Came in and did a job. I remain disappointed, though, that we didn't have a single young player of our own in the reserves who could have filled in just as well as he did.

My sentiments entirely.

Just isn't a St Helens standard player and our attack really suffered because of him. No wonder our half backs have struggled this season because he never offers himself as an option. Meant we have played really flat this season

Would young Bailey been any worse? The good thing with quinlan was his hands. I'm not sure Bailey would have taken those kicks but Bailey is 100% better with the ball.

From day one I said Quinlan was garbage

It's a fair question to raise. One thing with Quinlan is he never looked like dropping a high kick, like you said.

I can't wait for Lomax to come back in

I'm a massive lomax fan and hope he's the same player before his injury nightmare.

People don't realise how important lomax is to our attack. Some weeks it's like the lomax show. She puts fear into defences and they stand off him as he's unpredictable

I thought quinlan was also a bit shakey under the high kicks. He let's a few bounce.

I would not say garbage but not the solution for us at fb.

Has he ever dropped a high ball? I think he was pretty safe on kicks.

Either him or Leon Felton is the worst fullback I've ever seen in saints shirt

I don't think he was great, but I don't think he was as bad as is being made out. The only problem I had with him was his actual tackling (he NEVER looked like making a one-on-one tackle, although that seemed to change last night). I enjoyed watching him in attack, and despite his small stature he won pretty much all of the bombs put to him. The try he created at Warrington stands out, 9/10 players either take the tackle or panic pass and lose the chance, he remained calm and put it on a plate. Certainly don't think we should sign him or anything of the sort, but I thank him for coming over and doing well in a position we had no options in.

His attack was awful and if you understand the game you'll know how important that first carry is on kick returns and his kick returns (if didn't pass to swifty) was one of the main reason we had no momentum getting out of our half

Have some respect. The lad was 5th choice whobcame over on the cheap and left all his friends and family behind. He did a job. Would I keep him ? No but I thank him for his efforts
