But given the resilience of the club it doesn't make sense.

Watched the last game in front of south stand yesterday and there is point when walker gets taken out in a tackle and as he is coming round none of other than willing is standing over him dishing out the verbals.

He's such a hypocrite.

His whinging about certain players Whooping after a big tackle or scoring a try is a particular favourite aswell

Interestingly Walters did have the exact same number of tackles (7), missed tackles (2), carries (6), metres made (37) and penalties (1) as Cam Smith.

Thats true, but stats dont tell the whole story. Smith will get one completed tackle for his try saver, walters will get one completed tackle for when douglas (i think) ran at him and pushed him back several meters after contact until others arrived to help bring him down. Green from hull did the same to him a few times last week, it might go down as a completed tackle but its not good defence imo. The stats say they had the same game, watching the match smith impressed me more.

When Walters ran it up at the end and dropped it. He had one job just to take it in and keep hold and he couldn't do that. Luckily, they needed 2 tries at that point.

Think it's all been said on the performance - great gutsy win.
Regarding child and scrums, 3/4 times saints only put 5 in the scrum and child stops the scrum half feeding the ball and calls for another player to pack down. Other teams do the same. It's not junior rugby, for mine, ref should let scrum half feed the scrum and then penalise the team packing 5 down.

Certainly one of our better league wins in recent years. Good to see Smith and Oledski playing in a big game and doing well. As for Walters, I just don't rate him, but as others say, he's about 7th/8th choice so it doesn't matter much when everyone's fit.

Alex Walmsley ruled out long term with a fractured bone in his neck. Big loss for them.

It would be a yes from me.

A few pings from that a game and it would all but disappear within a round of fixtures.
