A bit like Reece Walsh at Brisbane, Harry Robertson is so exciting - but he has quite a lot of loose errors in him.

He perhaps could have sold Field the dummy and scored himself, with Field outnumbered and ready to jump onto the receiver.

A really promising young player, but he will be better with senior heads around him.

As a Saints fan I feel his best position is on dual registration.

Your optimism strikes me like junk mail addressed to the dead.

Seems to have lost some pace this season. 

He's never been superstar material, but he's always been a reliable and valuable team player. That attempted pass/offload looked a bit flaky by his standards.

He's been fast-tracked, due to Elton's injury. Maybe it is a bit soon for him, but by God he's got both pace and talent!

Really good call on the Wardle forward pass under Saints pressure. He was standing still and shipped it on, in a forward motion out of the hands.

It would have been easy to look the other way. Fair play to touch judge and ref.

Good for the game, bad for the conspiracy theorists.

Honestly didn't remember Davies was on the pitch

Everytime I see him I’m wondering what his position is , or what he’s meant to be adding

Fair to say magic weekend hasn’t really took off yet 

Might depend on the results you wanted. And it might not.

But London's madcap improvisation beating Hull FC, followed by St Helens being nilled (so far) will do it for me. :kolobok_cool:

Bit harsh. 

While not a great quality game, I thought that London's performance was a real highlight of the season.

Wigan 20:0 St Helens at the final hooter. Saints got seriously close at times, and Matt Peet will be pleased that none of those chances paid off.

Not the most exciting of games but considering how many players we were missing it was a stroke of fortune to come up against a side that had more issues than we did.

Nsemba's attacking game gets more chance to flourish on the left edge. Considering he's so strong the fact that he's got footwork like an outside back is ridiculous. I thought he should have been in the running for man of the match.

Thought we tried hard. Wigan took their chances and we didn't make anything of those we had.

The reality is that without your first choice full back, stand off, scrum half, hooker, loose forward, both centres, a prop forward and your best second row leaving the field after 10 minutes, you won't beat a side like Wigan.

We weren't helped by poor selection of Bell at hooker, which Wellens quickly realised and corrected.

Hull KR next week will be tough too! The aim for us now is just to get players back before the play offs and give it a go, with nothing to lose!

That place isn't secure yet but I'm not worried about that, I think we've got the couple more wins needed to get there.

Both sides were lacking their key creative players so it was always going to be a bit of grind.  Which Wigan won.

In part, because Delaney and Lees are just not big enough to be starting props and both got bent back carrying the ball, Delaney in particular.

Yeah but don't forget St's we're jaded from their WCC oh and Lomax was missing and not to forget the Knuckle brothers also absent.

Every time I see Ben Davies he is really poor and looks way off SL standard never mind good enough for a club likeSaints.

Hes every bit St's standard albeit not as handy with the biff as his peers.
