Re: Saints v Tigers
A must win game for Saints, unfortunately looking at the teams it is going to be a real struggle. Injury woes continue, and we now have only one recognised 9 in the 23 and Foden is out too. I was hoping to see Nutley start again, but Wood does tend to step up and have a stormer in East Mids Derbys. Bringing on the likes of Nutley and Collins in the second half could be good to speed things up a bit. I am pretty terrified of the Tigers backline, they have really got it together for the end of the season, with both wings and both centres looking extremely dangerous. I can see Lawes being sent flying at Burns to try and disrupt things there.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Saints at home might swing it. Tigers werent completely impressive last weekend and did lose away at Sale recently.
Dont Saints have an academy youngster who could cover 9?
Longer term they could do a lot worse than make Harrison an offer. He's easily good enough to be a starter and could suit Saints to a tee.

Blimey, that's a weak Saints team. Other than 2, 3, 8 (possibly) and 18 I'd have the Tigers players.

Re: Saints v Tigers
We have Alex Mitchell but I've got a feeling he is long term injured. Also have Tim Duchesne who I believe is an Aussie who has recently joined us. I can't see why we haven't got him on the bench. For a specialized position like 9, surely it's better having a younger less experience 9 there rather than an experienced back who is not a 9.

Re: Saints v Tigers
He is unfortunately. Got injured at the start of the season, came back for a wandies game and got injured again. He was going to play a big part this season so it's lucky Mallinder has stepped up so wellBanquo wrote:Stephenson seems to have disappeared...is he crocked?

Re: Saints v Tigers
Excellent line by Burrell at pace to set up that try. Why does he do that so infrequently?!

And then he gifts the ball to Goneva to score down the other end

Re: Saints v Tigers
Wonder why they're showing the second half from behind the goal line? Not used to this angle. Opps they fixed it after 6 mins.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Why have Tigers avoided yellow there, just because our advantage led to a try?

That was petulant and crass by Burns. Lucky boy to only be subbed.

There must have been something in that awkward tangle of legs or the way Mallinder rolled him over because that was Farrell-esque.Freks wrote:That was petulant and crass by Burns. Lucky boy to only be subbed.

Re: Saints v Tigers
Thought Harry was in at the end then. Good game, shame about the result. Can pretty much call this season off now.
