Saints to bounce back and win by 42...

So 48-6.

[Old Frightful]

In an earlier thread, it was posted this game's on Sky Sports Extra, any confirmation of this?

 

If so, a night behind the settee awaits.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Saints by 12.

[Old Frightful]

I hope it's foggy...

[southstand loiner]

could the Catalan game have been the start of a saints mini slump .

 

they need to sort out the halfs pretty quick everyone knows burns wont run with the ball so that's an easy play to pressure the players he passes to

[back to the future]

could be a hull win

would that be a shock?

not for me

Yes, it's on Xtra.  Confirmed on Boots n All last night.

 

I'll be at the match so I will have nowhere to hide!

[Exiled Wiganer]

I think OF should make sure there is ale and nibbles behind the sofa and a comfy cushion as it won't be pretty for FC.

Without meaning to sound disrespectful I think Hull at home is exactly the fixture Saints need at the moment, hopefully to stop to turgid slide of the last few weeks.  On the other hand, an away win, and Saints' season is in very real danger of dying on it's backside with a horrible defeat away to top placed Leeds in the semi looking likely.  Could be lot's of fans of both sides looking for places to hide, especially given the weather, I just hope it's worse for Hull's fans than Saints.  Saints by 8, more with heart than head.

[Old Frightful]

Luke Thompson over after 23 mins for Saints.

6-0

[Old Frightful]

80m Hull intercept try, Sneyd initially then Naughton backing up to score.

6-6.

[Old Frightful]

Luke Walsh isn't even trying to disguise his forward passes tonight.

Swift over.

10-6.

[westhuller]

How has Child's missed that forward pass

[Old Frightful]

Saints over again, good inter passing between Roby and Jones, Roby try.

Good bit of tackle dodging by Sa as well.

18-6.

[Old Frightful]

How has Child's missed that forward pass

The touchie was worse, he was four yards in front of Walsh and the ball went at him like an arrow.

[Old Frightful]

Childs now gives a forward pass against Sneyd that was flat at worse.

[Ant]

Childs now gives a forward pass against Sneyd that was flat at worse.

Childs or Hicks here are the John Smiths is a tough call for whose worse

[glossop saint]

These Hull fans are very biased, ref has got everything right so far... !-)

Anyway OF, surely you can't see from your position behind the settee.

Seriously, saints are getting the rub of the green but I think are just edging it after a stronger start by hull. Still all to play for.

[snapski]

Childs or Hicks here are the John Smiths is a tough call for whose worse

Thaler and Silverwood run them close.

[Old Frightful]

Lineham over after Hull have try disallowed and brought back for scrum with Hull head and feed.

Remarkable.

18-10.

[Old Frightful]

Westerman over from a forward pass although not of Walsh proportions.

18-16.

[Old Frightful]

Sublime kick from Sneyd to Shaul for a try.

Shaul pointed and screamed where he wanted it.

18-22.

[Old Frightful]

Smeyd kick produces an error from Fleming, Naughton benefits.

18-26.

[Dave T]

Jeez, Saints doing their best to allow Cats and Hull to overtake Wire!!!!
