Saint Toppy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Saints have a decent record at the KCOM in recent years and Hull are not playing well but something tells me this is going to be a fairly close game. Saints get Mata'utia back from suspension and young Matty Foster back after 4 months out injured but have lost Fages, Grace, Paasi & Josh Simm St.Helens - The Home of Rugby Champions Saints Men's team - Triple Champions & Double Winners ; Saints Women's team - Treble Winners ; Thatto Heath - National Conference Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moove Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Big opportunity for Dodd now with Fages done for the season. Assuming Young Jack Welsby centre and Naqaima on the wing. Hopefully with Grace not playing, Bill Arthur won't get him and Naqaima mixed up every time they touch the ball, although I wouldn't put it past him. Expecting we'll be a bit rusty having not played since the cup final but it's usually a decent game against Hull. Looking forward to it.

FearTheVee Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Really excited to see the Dodd era start at Saints. An academy spine of Welsby, Lomax, Dodd, Roby, Knowles (plus three of our four outside backs) is really something to look forward to for next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 We will come second again. Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I think Sky have chosen the wrong side of Hull for tonight's broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Think we’re in for a tough game. Hull are much improved under Hodgson and aren’t as disparate as they once were, so we’ll be in for a tough game as the Cup Semi proved and given the enforced time off we’ve had of late through Covid and the imbalance in the side through injury and Covid, it’s going to be a tougher test for sure.

Man of Kent Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Very strong-looking Saints side. Keen to see how Dodd goes at scrum-half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good vision and execution from Reynolds. I think if Faraimo catches that cleanly he scores, but because he was juggling it he couldn't come up with any sort of fend. Unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Setter Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Is there a clear gap between the top 3 and the rest developing? Of course that means nothing considering the one-off nature of playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Every time Saints walk off the mark, that fella blows his hooter. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Just Browny Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 On first view I thought there were about three knock ons in that. On the replay it was absolutely fine. 3 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

MZH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I've seen more than enough, can't bare to watch this utter dross. Hodgson has got his work well and truly cut out to turn this rabble into a top side. I think we are seeing just how good a player Jake Connor actually is that he can get a tune out of this lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I turned off in disgust for 10 minutes but then couldn't help but flicking it back on Saints should be 22 (or 20 since it was a tough conversion) up. Nothing wrong with that contest. Then a little bit more fortune with that Hull try. I wouldn't say it's a lifeline. We are second best by a long way. At least it gives us something to play for in the second half though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
