Round 3 is all done and dusted, and after our hard fought win over the Leeds Rhinos we asked our followers on social media for their #SixWordMatchReport – here’s this weeks selection.
Our favourite from Facebook was Val Luck’s comment – we couldn’t sum the game up much better!
“Saints win edge of seat thriller”
Over on Twitter at @redveedotnet, @phillowthian sent us a rhyme (for the second time):
“Down early doors, big Alex scores”
Our pack got a lot of love after the game, and we mean a LOT of love:
“Thompson and Walmsley dominate in win” – Sam Stanley – Facebook
“Big Al’s back. That is all” – Barry Forbes – Facebook
“Forwards win it for lucky saints” – Jonny Edwards – Facebook
“Luke Thompson, last try, 33/1, kerrrrching” – Jason Tyson, betting responsibly – Facebook
“Big Alex Walmsley at the double!” – @knowsleyrude – Twitter
“The forwards got us through it” – @britheblue1979 – Twitter
“Best front row in the league!” – @stottydk – Twitter
“Alex and Tommo halt Rhinos’ charge” – @bold_ken – Twitter
“Pack dominates, Roby still the best.” – @houghton91 – Twitter
“Take a bow Alex and Luke” – @hillj1968 – Twitter
“Don’t make our front row angry!” – @saintdavid2911 – Twitter
A couple of fans are looking for changes to be made:
“Changes are needed, few need resting” – Johnny Wright – Facebook
“Need a back on the bench” – @wigtixfan – Twitter
Despite the win, goalkicking is definitely still a hot topic and the half back debate rumbles on. It remains to be seen if this changes with such a short turnaround before Salford on Thursday:
“Only 16 men, Danny Richardson needed” – David Bolan – Facebook
“Our kicking will be our downfall” – @saintpablo91 – Twitter
“No game manager at half back” – @hillj1968 – Twitter
Best of the Rest:
“Never right off the Super Saints” – Colin Taylor
“Saints made hard work of it!” – Zoe Brown Smith
“Hard graft put in by all” – Jackie Taylor
“240 miles for a nervous win” – Amanda Matthews
“Saints scare fans two games running” – Linda Pownall
“Hard fought win , but something missing” – Peter Faz Farrell
“Saints satisfactory. Rhinos improving. Hicks neither.” – Stephen John
“Half time team talk really worked” – Gaz Hockenhull
“Leeds kept scoreless in second half” – @saintgeorge1986
“My hands have just stopped shaking!” – @sainttalibobrob
“Complacent much in the first half” – @halewkwoo
“Honestly never write the SAINTS off” – @sthrlfc
“Louie McCarthy is not a centre” – @low161
And we’ll leave the final word with @kebabfromgenos:
“Good start, poor middle, great ending.”
Thanks to all who got involved – we’ll be asking again on Thursday after the Salford game!
