| Did not get to see the match tonight or listen to it, so it's an impressive scoreline given the London resurgence.
Any feedback on the match greatly appreciated.
Always nice to nil a team.

| We looked determined to defend, kicking the ball early quite often. Defence was good, scrambling well when necessary. The attack, despite some flash passing, was at times rusty-looking with wayward passes and several knock-ons. Luckily, London were suffering the same, so it could have been partly due to the rain.

| It was one of the worst games I've seen. I was bored out of my mind. The best part of the night was the hooter going!

| The best thing about the match was the hooter going at the end of the game.
I think a third of the crowd had by then already left Langtree park.
People were streaming out with 15 minutes left, as the match was utterly devoid of any invention or excitement.
All of our trys were literally one out fall over the line jobs from an an inside ball.
The only excitement was provided by Londons winger Dixon who was a real live wire.
Lomax was absolutely shocking.
Our wingers didnt get a single running chance in the entire match. Infact the only time they got the ball was on kick returns.

You were so lucky.
I will never get those long hours back. They are gone for good. I so wished I'd stayed home to watch the wheelchair basketball, which has stuff like skill and pace and excitement in it, all of which were missing from that match tonight, including Saints, who couldn't attack a sandwich. The only difference between us and London this evening was that we had the better defence. London clearly suffered for their week off; they have lost their momentum, which was a great shame as I had hoped we would have a contest. Not to be.
Instead we had Silverdud blowing the pea out of his whistle, London and Saints both unable to muster any kind of attack, and London with a leaky enough defence to ensure we won the game.
No way am I paying to see that next week. I shall watch our fourth pounding by Wigan from the comfort of my living room. Unless there happens to be a wheelchair basketball match on at the same time, in which case I will watch that instead.

| Can anyone think of any home game this season where we have played with intensity, skill and entertainment.............I,m struggling to think of any.
This is probably the worst saints team, performance wise in the era of superleague, yet we are in top 4. Just shows how the standard of Superleague is riding on the bottom.

Regarding the game I found it dull as ditchwater tonight. spoiled in the first place by silverwood's stop start approach to the game.

In the past there have been many dull games, however the one thing that kept you watching the game was that there was always the chance of a great try to liven up an otherwise dull afternoon or evening. Quite often that would happen against poor opposition as Saints would be able to break from deep and score what looked like a cracking try, even though it was scored against paper thin defence.
Tonight however we saw a side quite happy to kick the ball on the third tackle, play for territory and penalties, force the turnover, then fall over the line from 10 yards out. It was more akin to rugby union tactics, than traditional RL.
The fact these tactics are good enough to ensure a top 4 league finish is a shocking indictment of the league at present.
Teams should have to win matches not rely on the opposition giving away penalties and dropping the ball.
