HKR 22 Stains 4

Wakey 22 Celtic 0

It'll be interesting to see whether the giants can back up tonight, otherwise I can see us being the only side that has won after playing in the semi's.

The wheels looks to be coming off at Saints abit



saying that i'd still back them to win the Grand Final comfortably.

26-4 to KR now

10 more points for Hull KR and Leeds go top.

Saints just gone in on the hooter

Just goes to show how important Cunningham is to that side, It'll be interesting to see whether they try and make him do another year, however if they do I believe Moore comes off contract at the end of 2010 so if they do keep Cunningham and don't recall Moore they may end up losing him.

Wakey 34-0 Celtic

I dont think its just cunningham to be perfectly honest, I think that they are missing longy, he organises their play. Listening to the commentary (granted it was the radio humberside one) they had no organisation at all. Pryce is useless without longy pulling the strings for them.

Cunningham is Saints main man without question. He lifts them so much by the example he sets and usually the side follows. Long is also an important member of their side but his powers have been on the slide for a little while now and they've managed to plau good rugby without him...........they've hardly ever done that without Cunningham.



They're also missing Cayless and Fa'asavalau bigtime because the workload on Grahams shoulders is far too high.

I kinda just had a wierd thought that i would hope for Graham to get some ssort of niggly injury, not so thats saints would miss him, just so he could get some sort of extended rest. I think he's gonna be a serious threat of burnout, so much work is put onto him at still such a young age.



I'm not saying he's going to be fielden, but he's a prime example of burnout.

It makes you wonder what effect it'll have on Graham later on in his career, burn out springs to mind. A big difference to saints season next year could be whether they keep Cunningham or not, to lose him and Long in the same season may be a big mistake, surely it would be better to spread it out over 2 years and soften the blow.
