Ground looks great. Modern drainage is incredible.

Really glad I didn't drive up for the game though.

Go Saints!!!!

Should have gone to Specsavers!

Five minutes in and it is as slippery as a bar of soap and the surface is chopping up.

Love that play from Higgins. Took on two Giants, won his own scraps and a free.

That's the type of grit you need in a mudding slog like today.

Disappointed in that effort by Webster on the wing... were 2 on one and had the ball pushed to him and he both fumbled then failed to make body contact with the opposition to give his team mate the advantage

Turn over and they goal

I don’t think we’ve ever played well in the wet, so this isn’t surprising so far!

Its only early but gees Highmore looks slow.

Saints need to commit more players around the ball. Too many not prepared to win the hard ball. Not hungry enough or enough grunt.

Hunter is getting a touch up by Flynn in the centre ball ups.
