22.20 we’ll done to them

Can't fault that score. Well done Toulouse.

Sorry this results a little worrying, if they can beat Saints at home they could make all home games 2 pointers.

Saints had a squad out that should’ve comfortably beat them.

It's a result that's great for RL and the credibility of the comp. as was our great result today. I said on here the other day it's hard for teams to win more than 5 or 6 on the trot, although I didn't actually include Saints in that!! We were great today and it just shows if we can keep a settled(ish) team, we are gonna rattle a few cages this season. I think Hood has made a difference to our side, he needs to stay fit. I also think that was Jordan Crowthers' best game so far in a Wakey shirt, if he can continue to develop with ball in hand, at his age, the sky's the limit for him.

a couple of players out today but i wonder how the world beaters would fare if they had the injury lists that some S/L teams have this season

Weren’t saints ‘depleted’ vs London who were rock bottom and ended up giving them 4 points. Maybe it’s genuine injuries but if they’ve rested a few it smacks of a lack of respect and it appears a common theme.

It is but Saints we’re not that week.

I couldn’t understand why some on here were so dismissive of Toulouse last week. I thought they were pretty good and I imagine on home turf better still.

Whether they can maintain it I don’t know.

On paper though Saints we’re still strong enough to have won comfortably but didn’t.

Sts didn't have a scratch side.
12 were from their original 17, with Hurrell and Amor added from outside.
There were only 2 names I didn't know.

Agree with that PT, I’ve only watched the highlights, but scratched my head when looking at the names on the Saints shirts, this is not a weak team selection.

The bottom line is while ever we keep winning games we won’t have to worry about it so much. Realistically we should be looking to finish between 6-10 imo.

I really like the way Willie has the team playing and I think it’s time to be positive with what we’ve seen so far.

We could have been easily sat on 8 points.

Surprised me did that result as Saints looked easily strong enough to win comfortably.

They were missing a few key players notably Walmsley who's a huge miss but arguably just as important their two usual 2nd row starters Batchelor and Matautia who are both key players for me in how they play.

I know they've started well and have looked untouchable up to now but I also think a weakness of there's maybe as a long season goes on having Welsby and Dodd at 1 and 7...both outstanding young players but I just wonder how good they'll be over the course of a full season in two very key positions...

Just shows though if you take a few key components out of any side (Saints included) you can get turned over by anyone in this league. Wonder how good they'd be if they went on a 5-6 game run continually missing 8 or 9 first teamers and having to play a different spine nearly every week!
