Re: Saints v Tigers
Saints third try we need to work on splitting the middle of the maul after the initial shove.
Plus points:
Defence - Much better
Second Row - Immense in defence and attack
Thompson - Great disrupter at the breakdown
Eastmond - What a player!
Replacement props - Fe’ao unlucky to not get Tigers third try, Heyes absolute menace at the scrum
Bateman - Much better in the loose this time
Downers:
Kalamafoni - Had a poor game by his high standards
Mapapalangi - Was unlucky with the maul but he still needs to work on his defence
May and Denton getting injured.
Anything else?

Re: Saints v Tigers
Hit his head against a Saints player's hip. We'll not see him for a couple of weeks now then you'd imagine. Shame, as he's been a solid performer so far.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Hopefully BOC will be back so we can move Thompson across to 6. Having Thompson and BOC in the backrow should make the opposition's life a misery at the breakdown.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Only issue with that is it leaves a line out forward down, not sure what the 2nd row availability is but Williams could move to 6 as well as he has been playing in the rowsam16111986 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 9:25 pmHopefully BOC will be back so we can move Thompson across to 6.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Hoping you're right and also that BO'C returns PDQ. Kalamafoni not at his very best today but he's been pretty reliable. Mapapalangi needs game time - struggled today.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: Saints v Tigers
I thought Kyle Eastmond was incredible today. He and Manu could be a fantastic partnership if they can stay fit.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Looking at the highlights, just noticed Saints players socks. Anyone know the story behind that?

Re: Saints v Tigers
I think it referenced all the local clubs that had supported an auction for Rob Horne - that's a version / explanation i've heard.northerntiger wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 10:41 pm Looking at the highlights, just noticed Saints players socks. Anyone know the story behind that?
