Love the bloke, but a dummy half he is not.

Da Costa and Bosc as dummy halves I would have thought.

don't get me wrong, I agree. Was just taking into account Laurent's comments to the media:
"We've worked the last few weeks with Thomas Bosc and Greg Mounis can play hooker, also Louis Anderson has played there with the (New Zealand) Warriors in the past,"

DaCosta looked solid in pre-season, I'd like to see him get a chance"!

Forwards will decide this game, assuming that whoever is talonneur does a half decent job.

Da Costa did a great job. Hell, they all did. Although Saints are absolutely bloody clueless, with and without the ball.

Congratulations we were outfought and outclassed by the better team.

I thought that Fages and Walmsley tried hard. Fages scored one try and nearly got a second but for a brilliant tackle by Baitieri. Walmsley's bullocking run set up one of Saints tries. Fages two dropped balls were a small blemish on an otherwise energetic performance.

Saints need Percival, Swift and Makinson back if they are to be in contention, though I suspect that they will run 5th or 6th by season's end, behind Warrington, Catalans, Wigan and Hull FC.
