French defence is ridiculous.
French defence is ridiculous.
Twenty minutes on what 'this French team' are doing to capture the public imagination. Winning?
Proper cup tie this. Shit ground, half the town out for it.
Drove to Windermere this morning and saw a lot of Saints fans on the M6, as well as loads waiting for a coach outside my local.
Just watched it back on YouTube. They weren’t that bad for the majority. Lots of missed forward passes, mind, and their conversion attempt made me lol out loud.

Unfortunately all too true with that video quality.
Christ, Saints are gonna get bummed by Castleford tonight. The grandkids are out, nevermind the kids.

As a casual-at-best follower, tell me what’s going on there then? Saints are pissing it so far.
They can afford to throw a game after the stupid two games in three days Easter schedule, they have a few injuries anyway, and they have the Challenge Cup semi final coming up in a couple of weeks. They also play a really relentless game which must take its toll.
Good game, this.

He's the best player in Super League, but he BOTTLED an NRL move so he deserves screwing out of Man of Steel by people choosing to not defend Jai Field with any sense.
Saints.
At least the final won't be [such] a foregone conclusion now, even if a potential Baz meet is off.
Not good enough but stings extra cos it’s bloody Wigan.

Maybe next year mate.
Absolutely farcical refereeing in the Parra v Manly match.
Joke sport.
The season is done if 'Turbo' is out, so what can you do. It might give Queensland a look in though.
Cracking final this
Is Lolohea always this shit at conversions?
You would like Huddersfield to win, but their fifty shit fans don't deserve it.
Fuck Hudds.
Lolohea. What a cunt.
It should have been me watching my team blow it. Gutted.
Queenslander.
[Sir] Kevin Sinfield's Leicester Tigers.
The disgraceful sin binning sunk this.

Noooooooo.
Can’t say I blame him.

Saints haven't really missed him this season, and they don't need him at fullback, so I doubt even the NRL could match the money he will be getting there.
10-16
44-12
12-22
Brad Fittler is an awful coach.
Ponga was on another level I haven't seen such a small fella gain so many post contact meters while running at forwards.
It's a shame he has pledged to the All Blacks.
I've always been a bit of a Ponga-sceptic (at least in terms of him being a million dollar player), but he looks bigger this season and breaks tackles easier. He's still a turnstile in defence, so I'm not sure about him in union, but I don't think the fullback gets pressured on the ground that much in State of Origin for it to be a massive weakness in those games.
Speaking of which, how has Roger Tuivasa-Sheck gone? I read earlier that he might get his test debut against Ireland, so presumably quite well.
From what I saw of him he was pretty good at 12 for the Blues. I imagine he will be a utility back at best for the All Blacks as they have a ridiculous amount of depth and 12, 11, 14 and 15.
It will be interesting to see what club Billy Slater ends up at after his Origin stint? My hope is that he and Smith takeover at the Titans.

Roger made the All Blacks squad, which is quite good for his first season in the game. I watched him for the Blues this season, and I wasn't too impressed. Too much time spent stepping with ball in hand, which allows cover defence to get around anyway. And his tackling looked a little suspect at times.
Wigan won 60-0 and Bevan French got 7 tries.

Do you think he will make the World Cup squad?

Have the All Blacks employed Cheika as a consultant? I have never seen them kick this poorly.
Ireland have been pretty mega in this half.
Yeah their forward packs class.

Wayne Barnes donning the Kiwis.
Less good this half.
Huge call to play RTS for the last 10 minutes.
Fuck off New Zealand [and fuck off having 'All Blacks' as the name on the score ticker thing].
I feel the Wallabies have been handed a once in a generation opportunity at winning the Bledisloe this year.
Andy 'Andy Farrell' Farrell/[Sir] Kevin Sinfield dream team for England.
Wales to let the hemisphere down.
