I spat my tea out listening to tez say Clark has had a new lease of life since moving to saints.

From the games I've seen he's been about as average and burnt out as he did for us last year.

The media soundbites were literally all about how wonderful Clark is and how he's going to be so much better in a Saints team. No mention at all of the fact that we've opted for a much younger England international hooker who's getting better every year. I'm grateful to Clark for how he served us, but he's looked niggly and underwhelming at Saints. We definitely did the right thing investing in youth. Interesting how Saints are going the other way.

Did the decorating last weekend and the paint drying was more entertaining than Saints.

They have so much to thank Bibby for if he could catch Hudds would have been out of sight.

TBH watched it more to get eyes on Giants for the semis. Clune looks creative and Cudjoe really gets through some work Swift and Naiqama threatening.

However can't wait for Fitzgibbon to wind Connor up we will have a field day there.

In all his time at Wire, I never saw Clark kick a ball from the base of the play the ball, let alone a 40/20. I saw Walker do that last year. Clark is spent. We did good business to ship him on.

And now a bench player there…

Can’t make up my mind who is as player of the match for Saints…
Toss up between Bibby and Connor.
Think Connor will never be selected by Wane following that display, can you imagine the Aussies winding him up?

They have changed it but it looks worse than last one and is a lot slower loading up. If they have a bad game you will have to book a slot sometime in the future to go have a look at the melted mess.

An interception, a scoot from dummy-half and a drop goal - all hail 'The Entertainers'! I agree with the Captain, though - Bibby and Connor between them cost the Giants that game.

Regardless of how they got it done... they got it done. Something which we've lacked in recent years. Hopefully the Leigh game proved we can manage to do it as well.
