Watching Giants in attack was us for last few years, sent a shudder down my spine.

Thought the same here, clueless in the final 20. Very frustrating to watch!

I'm saying this certain in the knowledge that it will come back and bite me, but there's nothing at all to fear in that Saints side.

They've already peaked
Hurrel is a total liability in defence
Their discipline is a mess
Bettinson & Dodd are hugely overrated
LMS, Roby & Walmsley ageing by the day

Think Eddie Hemmings would of struggled to make saints sound good.

My feeling is a lot of people thinking same, just nobody wanted to say it yet. Anyway based on the games I’ve seen so far if we can keep a fit squad for when it really matters I’ve seen nothing to fear.

Phil Clark is desperate to just say that Saints are cheating by holding down and messing in the ruck. JUST SAY IT!

tickled me right up when he said that.

The thing I found frustrating was the amount of lieing on Saints got away with.
Slow to remove themselves from the tackle with always an arm or leg remaining conveniently in the way. (Far more so than Hudds).
It was really annoying.

The Hudds attack was simply not good enough. They built enough pressure but didn't have that killer instinct. Saints were there for the taking.

Losing Matautia was a blow. Hurrell was arguably their best attacking player.
Walmsley and Lees werent fully on song. Long may it continue.

Mean while over on Redvee the ref still cheated them.

Lees said saints are happy to lie on and give away 6 agains as they trust their defence. Get rid of this ridiculous rule and go back to penalising teams. If Huddersfield had got a penalty late on for all the holding down saints admit they were doing then they could've kicked it to even the score.
