The old man reckons Acres plays a bit like Rhys-Jones. Is quicker than what he shows.

No 50 Gilbert - Membrery being held - umpiring has been poor and it has cost us

Acres hareing out f the backline finds Paddy again!

Reminded me of L Hayes very closely in that passage! Even if we don't win the game we have had a win with Acres!

We are not far off it.

Need to clear up our F50 entries a little. Really just 5% and hit some targets. Stop the bomb.

Not easy when under this much pressure.

I really have a feeling McCartin is about to break it apart....

Either way, that was a pretty good first half.

An opportunity for Pierce next week though probably. Potential positive out of a negative.

Acres is going to be a gun.

As early as next year... in fact is already very good and becoming more consistent

Clearly we need Billings to lift.... really having 3rd year blues... down on confidence.... hopefully he can work through it

McVeigh just said that the Saints are the best in the league at applying pressure on the ball carrier - big compliment
