MadDogg: Losing the game off the back of a header doesn't feel right. Don't understand that rule at all.  Thought Wigan were OK in the conditions. A few daft decisions in good ball but defensively we were decent. Losing Field obviously has a big impact - French just doesn't have the same level of fitness in that position.  Don't mind us facing a bit of adversity actually. Puts a bit more significance on each game.  I remember when headers became knock ons  after saints did a few of these  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q2xSbNYfUgI style="font-size: 13px;"> I was pretty convinced the Leeds try was going to be disallowed , but it was given , didnt realise the rules had changed back at some point .

Leeds are an interesting case actually. They've conceded 17 penalties this season, compared to our 16, so we're the two most disciplined teams according to that. It then makes you wonder does what you give away correlate to what you get given (as in games involving those teams are generally clean on both sides) but alas no!! Leeds have been given 31 penalties to our 9.

I think I know the reason why Leeds get so many in comparison but don't tell the South Stand.

Jack Farrimond performance discuss? 

At the game I thought he was very quiet, unusual for him.


However after watching the game back I thought he was much better. Yes there were a couple of mistakes particularly that poor pass late on in the game which gave Leeds posession. He is a fantastic talent, along with Robertson at Saints the best in their age group.

I had to watch it on the TV on Saturday and while he didn't have much chance to show what he could do with the ball, I thought his defence was absolutely superb. He really puts himself about for a small guy.
