Good read at the end of an unbelievable weekend.
The media portrayed us as villains going into this,” the St Helens forward, Morgan Knowles, said. “British culture likes to see people fail and see an underdog win, but it’s about time we get the credit we deserve. We’re the best team, we’ve been the best team for the last three or four years and the consistency we’ve shown has been better than any team around in Super League
Couldn't have put it better myself Morgan
It’s not a question of can we improve more a question of do we even need to. Its a question of can the other clubs catch up? We will be in the big games next year and with our strong defence and continually growing confidence we will be very tough to beat.
Could our attack improve? I think so. If we started with Dodd and Welsby Saturday i reckon we score more points but thats easy for me to say now I suppose. It will be interesting to see how Dodd and Welsby combine with Welsby at fullback. Coote and Lomax click well out wide in the opposition 20 but with Welsby i think we’ll be far more dangerous from deep covering the width of the pitch.

The coverage of the game has been embarrassing, both before and after. You’d have had no idea who Catalans were playing or that the team they were playing, could go three in a row. The post match reports were heavily weighted in Catalans’ favour, declaring them unlucky and beaten by refereeing decisions rather than being poor for much of the game, only scoring when they were against twelve and taking two points on two occasions, the first was the first time they had the ball in our half and the second, I haven’t a clue why they took that at that time. FWIW, I don’t think we were great with the ball but our defence was fierce but I’m yet to see anywhere with an even report of the match.

I had to switch off the pre match commentary, like you say it was difficult to get a mention who the Catalans opponents were, switched the game back on at 5-55pm for the Tomkins Brothers Show then it settled down when Saints were dominating the tackles and terrority.
Welsby already has 2 GF under his belt and is only 20...old head on young shoulders comes to mind... Dodd has slotted in like he's always played 1st team and again, a GF and only 19.These experiences will fill them full of confidence and experience at an early age..
