He was over powered a bit which was to be expected but that’s a good learning curve for him. There are a few centres like that he’s going to have to deal with. I would say he was massively let down by his much more experienced winger who should’ve been helping him out but ended up making his job harder.

What channel is this on. Trying to get it on in Cork.

I suppose you just can’t tell I remember a few years ago Lomax being visibly upset about something McDonnell had done. Turned out he hadn’t done anything. Shows you can’t judge it off player’s reactions.

Last couple of years he’s got the balance spot on between keeping the aggression and not giving loads of penalties away.

Matty Lees discipline considering how he plays on the edge is actually really impressive.

As I said during the game it does look like his own hand is hit into his face with the first contact. You can actually see him flinch after it. There is then contact with Knowles head which only he knows whether it’s deliberate or not.

You do know it’s the clubs causing this.

Still the nailed on 7 for me just a choice of who plays alongside him Williams or Lewis.

Your centres are playing will and as I said in another thread I don’t think we will get near you this week. I am interested with how Robertson deals with Niu this week though. Robertsons footwork against Leeds was stunning at times but defensively he’s going to have to deal with a much bigger man. A big test coming up for him.

With his record he may still cop a ban.

Shocking from Keary.

Refs cocked up there he’s just remembered it should be Catalans ball.

How did Broadbent get away with that shepherd.

Yeah but it wouldn’t be a magic weekend as we know it now.

I’d imagine it’s a third kit and there will be agreements with sponsors and manufacturers to wear it in x amount of games.

They don’t run a home and away fixture list and their magic is not a stand alone round but integrated pinto teams fixtures.

You couldn’t have magic with odd numbers.

Last night was a brave performance you couldn’t ask anything more effort wise from the Saints players. Just a real lack of quality cutting edge. Next week is going to be a game too far though Clark and I think Burns added to the missing players plus a good chance Passi could cop a game ban.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as you think. Especially when clubs come back and tell the RFL their ground isn’t availible for 6 weeks while the pitch is relayed.

Incredible defensive effort from Saints and a great win. That game though highlights how far of they are from troubling the GF.

As I said.

I think his own arm gets knocked into his face then there is a clash of heads.

No he tried to make it look like he was going for the ball but he was more concentrated on moving Percival.

No attempt at the ball that’s why he’d completely gone past it.
