Salford could get fifty yet!

Apparently Saints fans on twitter whinging that their team is "decimated" yet 12 of their first 17 squad shirts are on the field.

1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16
Bench - 15, 17
Missing - 2, 3, 4, 7, 11

Surely their world class Academy lads should be filling in and at least competing with Salford. They were unconvincing last week too!

lost 44-12

Should make the board a little bit quieter this week.

Also makes me feel better that our performance Vs Leeds was, in fact, just a blip.

Really unusual for a Saints side to sound so mentally off. They’re never great to watch but they compete for every inch usually. Sadly I think it’s just a result that comes from being in such a comfortable position and not one that highlights any major cracks forming. One blow going forward seems to be an injury to Regan Grace.

As a Saints fan I have to say thats the performance of the season by any team for me esp as Salford only had 19 fit players to pick from

They’re in great form Salford. I remember looking at their backline on paper in pre season and it’s as good as anyones when they’re fit and available.

We got a lot of stick for the game at Salford, particularly in the first half about it being dull and a poor game, but I said it was intense at the time. They’ve impressed me both times we’ve played them. Both themselves and Leeds maybe a threat in the playoffs, should they make it.
