Man Utd…

Davies for Hall. Great business by Hull KR.

Are any of those plans on the other touchline?

From a Saints perspective, I much prefer Welsby at 6. Lomax or Dodd at 7. Benninson however, in that structure is not the answer at 1; not quick enough nor does he have the right level of ball playing ability to make up for the lack of pace. Solid performance from us against a hard working young Hull side (some positive signs with some of those young kids). I do wish Wellens had used the opportunity to blood at least one of our young outside backs though. A missed opportunity.

I honestly don’t think I have ever seen anything as stupid and ridiculous as that drop out.

24-0.

I laugh. But there is some truth in that post. Others have discussed the lack of pace, lack of points, dull rugby et al for much of this season and last year as well under Wellens. Whilst we will continue to win more than we lose, I think we will get anywhere near OT this year.

The way to beat Saints is moving the ball around the pitch at pace. Leeds have consistently troubled us by doing that in recent years. Salford won by doing that earlier in the season. Now Warrington. If you play down the middle and keep it tight, in most cases (not all), Saints will grind down the opposition on the back of a well drilled defence. Warrington did this superbly - supported by a hugely impressive forward display as well.

He’s never going to be a top class player. He has ability - but I personally feel as a squad player who fills in when others are not available. That he’s our starting left winger tells you much about Saints’ investment in wingers in recent years post-Grace.

You were excellent. Beat us up down the middle in the second half too. Well done Warrington. Horrific day with Liverpool losing too.

Saints have no pace. No invention. We rely on forward power to overwhelm teams. Today our pack has been battered.

Saints are there for the taking…

Superb effort from Batchelor. Try saver.

Amazing finish by Ashton.

Well that won’t work for Saints. Nobody has any pace…
