Some posters need to look a few pages back in this thread.

I was down too but never give up and slate the team

How quick is the Euro website in putting games on? Or will it be on BT first?

Here is a danger though, at 66 minutes we were absolutely heading for a 5 nil loss, the grot and grabbing it at the end is all good but it doesn't (or more accurately shouldn't) erase the 50 or 60 minutes of that game where we were hopeless otherwise we'll sleepwalk into consisten knock out game defeats.

I’ll say what I see - we were good the first 10 and the last 20. In between we gave away a lot of stupid penalties when under no pressure and the handling was poor in parts. Despite this we should have had at least 2 more tries (if not more). Fortunately this ended up not costing us because of the undoubted dog in this team and for that I salute them but an 80 minute performance and we would have been out of sight.

You're all used to this by now....

It's............Remy time!

Take that Posh Richard !

Big shout for Kini. Our most under- rated player ?

I really do want to see a back three of Nandolo, Kini, and Saumaki at least once this season - who is the most irritating 10 in the premiership who they can repeatedly trample?

[jgriffin]

Is the core of the best team changing? Saumaki has given us some real alternatives for a start.
Very appropriately, Saumaki autocorrects to Squeaky

Never say die attitude gets it home, a display not to remember but a few individual bits of magic gets the win, discipline was awful, hoping Burns finds his old form as seems very rusty.

Wow, never thought of that back 3 !!!

[longlivethecrumbie]

JvP, Kelly, Claire and Saumaki made a difference when they came on. Freddie grew into the game I felt - I honestly thought that chip at the end was going to check right back into a Tigers hand. Not sure I'll make the end of the season at this rate. My heart will give up with all these late wins!

That said, our discipline has been shocking!

Dan.......somebody......plays for Saints, I think.

[WhitecapTiger]

and there's the 4th try, 28 unanswered points

and then 19 unanswered points the other way...I know which 'run' was more important

Not a direct dig at you jimmy as I was thinking much the same, just used as a point of reference

I think he is starting to. Some things that he completely arsed up the last few games have started to stick - nowhere near 100% yet but the trajectory is the right direction at least!

IMO Burns is very much a confidence player; another W will do wonders for him

[Scott1]

Aled Walters and Co have definitely got this squad fit!
