The players appear to have a far better resolve so far (one game I know but I can see that they are more committed) and having Lomax and Suli on opposite sides now and with Tyrell being able to do just that bit to get us better in attack and of course the inclusion of Liddle, BMM and Musgrove, there is good cohesion and purpose all round. Jack De Belin will come in to tighten up the ruck defence but who gets dropped? All the players put in today in attack and defence.

Who would have thought that we would be coming third after 2 rounds Ha!

Didn't look like a divided team on the field as some were saying. I thought they looked to be playing for each other and, for a change, didn't drop their heads when they fell behind early. Was good to see them regroup and give it to them. We had 10 players run for over 100 meters. Toby ran for 90 and Rav for over 200. Was a fantastic game across the field.

I'd suggest that Toby will drop out - wouldn't be surprised if they rule him out anyway given the concussion rules.

And we are coming 2nd! If we didn't let in that last try we would have been on top of the table!

Great win by the boys. Very proud of the effort we put in. Best game I’ve seen from Blake and Liddel was outstanding at half. Rava was back to his best. In hindsight, it was good for us to play the Titans to give us a chance to gel in attack. On line defence still needs work but should be better once JDB returns.

 

[Saints Forever]

How sweet it is !!!

The forwards laid the foundation

Liddle was devastating

Sloan mercurial in attack

Second phase ball

We let in 3 soft tries. Am sure we can improve our defence.

Wooden spooners ?

I think not !!!

Mate don't know whats going on in your life but go and have a beer will ya. #Negativenancy

Nothing much just calling it as I see it. There is absolutely no reason why you would comment in such a manner. It's not personal so don't make it personal. If you have any constructive criticism by all means otherwise keep it to yourself. I love my club have so since 1970 but whilst I will certainly take the win and celebrate I was just pointing out the obvious that our try line defence is very poor. We will see where we are really at next week. Have a good night

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Come on @jodragon40 . Take a break from the pessimism and just enjoy a win from a team that played ok, and much better than expected!

I’m the most pessimistic merkin there is. But these blokes played well. Onya boys. Keep up the good work

 

[shiloh dc]

Happy - yes. Surprised - yes.
Still plenty of cracks to smooth over but its a step in the right direction.

 

[Hard Yards]

I'll take the win next week is the litmus test

every week we play is a litmus test, each week every week. Well done boys , a come from behind win.

I’ve bagged the team and club all off season but they did the jersey proud tonight. That referee continues to be the worst I’ve ever seen officiate in the NRL. Just disgraceful.
Liddle was fantastic, Hunt picked up from where he left off last season. And so great to see some pace in the backline with Sloan. Great to see him smile and confident.
Rava was fantastic, young Couchman did himself proud and I thought BMM might be a useful pickup. Still a lot to work on but at 12-2 down, last years team would have folded like tissue paper.

 

[SaintPeter]

Dare I say it but that was a well coached and well managed (bench, timing etc) performance.
Congratulations to all.
Looking forward to the season now.

WOODEN SPOON !!!!!!! Are you kiddin .....

Happy birthday BSE and great that the team performed so well ti make it even better for you.

 

[Willow]

Never in doubt.

 

[Gareth67]

So you’re the bad luck one hey Gareth
The attack was such an improvement on years gone by. Even Lawrie scored

I never gave that a thought you know blacksafake . Perhaps I had better have a afternoon nap every time they are playing ?

 

[RedVee_8]

A nice performance, 30 point turnaround at one stage. I enjoyed it from the grandstand. Oh When The Saints!

 

[jodragon40]

If you are a supporter since a long time be happy and positive just for 5 mins will do

I'm extremely happy with the win. As an old coach I just analyse the game and players. Like I said nothing personal I think it was high time for more juniors to be handed a 1st grade start. I'm hoping that we can work on that try line defence ala the 2009 - 2011 team. Bennett's philosophy was keeping the opposition to under 16 points a game and the attack will gel and you will win more than you lose. Let's see what next week's game brings against a red hot Broncos in Bne . I don't expect to win but be competitive and build upon tonight's confidence boosting victory.

Was it a disappointment more fans did not turn up? I remember my days being at Kogarah and it was standing room only. The last few seasons the ground appears to be sparsely populated especially the hill area.
