Yeah after posting I remember I saw him in there a couple of times - and jeez if we can win like that without him making a big impact.George27 wrote: ↑Sat 01 Apr 2023 10:20pmPhillipou did some nice things in second half. Slick handball . Spent some time in the centre bounces .
Agree with you re Clark.
Nasiah looks superb - so skilful by foot, very cool under pressure.
How good is the hamma love? He couldn’t get off the ground at the end.

He was a strong presence up forward, creating opportunities for others. Stats aren't everything.

Bloody hell, we can't take a trick...Jimmy Webster potentially broken cheekbone now - not too many soldiers left and I think it's only Jack Bytel that's ready to come back in

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 3 2023
Some of the defensive actions by Seb were match winning
And start of the last we couldn’t buy a centre clearance
He went in and he won 2 in a row
Obviously not his statistically best game
But he was huge

Fingers and toes crossed. He was talking to Brad Crouch about it and his body language didn’t look positive.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 3 2023
Got asked the question several times and were able to respond
Huge last quarter by Wood, Seb & Stocker
And more experience for Pou & the Hammer in a tight game
Top of the ladder and hoping the Cats can soften up the Suns for us tomorrow
Poor Jimmy can't take a trick - reckon Mason will be ok
Carn the Saints!!

Looks like Wood has done an AC. He’s not sure how bad.

Put a bit of work on him
Langford sat on him at times
Better 2nd half

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 3 2023
Well we probably should have won by seven goals but we have now played a team that's faster than us and it was great to see our backline structure up and use the space provided by The Cannulas to slow the game down when needed.
We are a much better team than Essendon.

Yeah. Just took an ever so slight shine off to let them two cheap ones back at the end.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sat 01 Apr 2023 10:48pm Well we probably should have won by seven goals but we have now played a team that's faster than us and it was great to see our backline structure up and use the space provided by The Cannulas to slow the game down when needed.

How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?

Fantastic game and had two defining plays in that last quarter when game was in the balance.

FWIIW - I was at the game and read it as - talls clear out a bit and take your defenders - let the smalls use their pace and skills to get the job done.
As such, Po and and Hammer did their job.

Yes Vortex, name the day and name the pub, looking forward to assisting you drink $10,000 worth of grog.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.
