It's Saints defence that impresses me. They seem to get off the line so quick and go hunting. It's as though they enjoy defending and it's actually the attacking team who are under pressure.
100%. They’re so un Saints like nowadays. They’re pretty turgid with the ball in truth but they absolutely run you in to the ground when you carry the ball, leave you out of gas and then take advantage with pretty simply try’s in attack.
Hulls early game plan today was absolutely spot on but they kept making errors. They moved the ball and tried to exploit the space in behind that Saints leave you. They push their centres/wingers up in defence and have been caught a couple of times with kicks in to the corners. We certainly won’t be able to match them in a battle down the middle but we’ll have a shot if we keep turning them and use the pace of French, Field and Marshall. Keep making Walmsley run back to his line and if that means kicking on the 4th tackle fair enough.
