Unfortately the sun was not high in the sky, thus there would have been negative effect of the sun in their eyes. But I would have peppered the young lad with the mop on his head on the wing.

He can skirt the borders can Jon, along with Pryce and Faz. They need taking in hand sometimes.

I didn't see the match - too broke for away games unfortunately - but from what I've heard it sounds like both teams toughed it out in the second half but then something happened to Huddersfield and we had a mini try fest in the last five minutes or so. What happened to Huddersfield? Did your guys get exhausted or distracted or something? I'm quite serious because IMO the scoreline seriously flattered my team given the close score up to about 70 minutes. I'm curious to know why we suddenly took off at the end of the match.

I'm also a tad worried about the laying on thing (thinking Potter and Catalans). We resisted that last season and were all the better to watch as a result IMO. Mind you, I've noticed that there seems to be more time spent in the tackle generally this season so far. Maybe an RFL directive? That would be a real shame. I don't think we have to follow the Aussies lead in everything. SL was great for its speedy PTBs and I'd hate to see that go.

I know what you mean re the PTB, but I hate to break it to you, Saints were bad for laying on last season too, just like Leeds were bad for obstruction, some teams just get away with it more.

As for Wilkin, its not so much skirting it as an inability to tackle below the top jaw.

Shame with the result. Saints were out on their feet around 60 minutes, am sure if we'd have scored we would have won. Thought B Hodgson was top drawer! Exhausted after a 200 milke drive back, and M25 closed between junction 22 and 17! Knackered this evening. Be great to win on Friday, come on Fartown!

Nah, I'd disagree with you about the laying on last year. I think all teams push it as far as they can, but Saints didn't stand out last season when it was being punished in a far more lively manner than it seems to be so far this season. We would have phases of being offside to the point of stupidity instead. I can't say I noticed Leeds being especially bad for obstruction either, just picking fights when things weren't going their way! Or maybe I'm just not so observant when at a rugby match ...

Well, he has his moments I grant you but I'd say that was a slight exaggeration. I think you may be talking about Westwood really. :wink:

Do you not approve of our current manager? it's just that I have never seen you Criticise JS on a public forum.
