Body language doesn't look right to me. Don't think we have won one collision. Saints are the best side in the league bya mile but they don't even look like they need to do anything special to wallop us. The way we are getting dominated in the tackle and the line speed of them in comparison to us is frightening. Forget the errors and penalties. Even if we completed sets we'd be kicking from inside our own 30.

I'm still fuming how Brough pretty much ducked out at tackling Lomax to give them a stroll in for heir first try.

Too indisciplined. You can't afford to give penalties away against any Super League team, never mind a red hot Saints. Get an early second half try and we might come to life, otherwise we could be on the end of a drubbing.

I’m ever the critic but even I’m going to take it easy this week.

Sure we’ve got a decent starting 17 on show but it’s so far from full strength it’s not funny. Trinity are currently cobbled together with Elastoplast and parcel string whilst Sts are at full strength and on song.

We can expect some spirited efforts but this game seems way beyond us at present

Exactly. Some folk need to calm down

Have to agree.

To be fair, I don't think Brough is 100% yet. It was clearly a gamble playing him so soon.

As long as he doesn't get injured it's a opposed training session for him to blow the cobwebs off. Worth the risk.

Individually, I think Croft has done well for his debut. Clearly shown he is capable if/when called upon.
