Toby King and Ben Currie are sensational.

Great gutsy win. Unrecognisable from the team that turned up in the first half against Hull. 


Currie seemed to enjoy his time in the halves and that miss out pass to King for the try was brilliant. 

I mean, feel free. He, Vaughan, Fitzgibbon and Musgrove are clearly of the size/power needed to keep us competitive in a game. Crowther, Russell and Holroyd (appreciating he didn't play) remain a worry for me - they're not big enough to cause the opposition a problem.

I thought we rotated the forwards better last night so that we weren't left with a period in the middle of the game where the opposition could dominate us. Releasing a fresh Philbin for that last quarter worked well and he made some good metres. Vaughan has progressed really well since the early part of the season; he is a handful and looks like he is enjoying himself.


Before I get accused of being a happy clapper after one win against a poor Saints team, we need to keep working hard on the defence on both wings as it was poor again yesterday. King and Ashton both need a bollocking for the tries Saints scored down their flank in the first half - both preventable. We are also terrible at dealing with a half decent kick off, it kept costing us.

A real backs to the wall performance last night, well done to all. We will surely need another in the semi final.

No matter how bad we are Saints will always be worse under Wellens. He's turned a once great club into an absolute shambles. 7 in a row.

This...

I said to my mate after the 1st try where Ashton rushed out that he needed to trust his centre/the defensive process, then blow me down, for the Percival try he puts his trust in King who just backs off & stains stroll in!


Needs sorting, and whilst we're at it, our goal line defence could be a lot more dominant too.
