A satisfying win.
Seb led the way with his (controlled) aggression, (but I did feel sorry for regan grace), and got MOM for his efforts. When Rapira left the pitch at the end of his second stint you could see he had given everything. 35 tackles, 131 metres for 8.2 metres a carry are impressive stats.
Kruise is a very smart player- lots of subtle movements he makes that make a difference. Hope Percival hasn't broken his jaw as rumoured- how he stayed on the pitch following that channel is beyond me. Child has absolutely no bottle with decisions of that kind.
Brough almost, almost, cost us again. I reckon if he hadn't have reacted as he did towards wilkin, child would have sent wilkin off- as it's the kind of safe card child would give.

brilliant win, totally different to the last two wins, showed massive effort and desire to get that win.

we were out on our feet, saints had a days extra rest and we had previously been to catalans and played in 30 degree heat. not to mention losing mamo and leeming

huge win

the crowd played their part too, getting right behind the lads when we knew they were struggling

300+ more there than warrington game on the sunday too.

yes lets hope leeming is ok, that was about the 5th high shot from saints in the game! takes a poss broken jaw just to get a penalty from child.

yes thought brough was going to cost us again with his discipline.

people now seeing why we brought ridyard to the club................

Must have been watching a different game. Even the 'incident' referred to was ridiculously low key. The only thing 'Broughy' that stood out was his leading by example in defence.

Brough might lose his cool at times but you can't fault his tackling.

Re: After stains : Sun Jun 18, 2017 9:24 am  

He very much kept his cool after a call by child's for us to drop out, when it was clear the saints attacking player had touched the ball before it had gone dead

Re: After stains : Sun Jun 18, 2017 1:51 pm  

yep cant fault broughs tackling and effort but he did lose it again for a while, the incident with wilkin then not long after gave away a penalty.

we have seen him lose it a few times this season and it cost us, had a feeling of deja vu but luckily he just about kept a lid on it this time!
