Saints have got this horribly wrong. Racing have lost 4 of their last 5 games because their pack is powder puff and been beaten up.

But that backline is the best in the comp and the pack is mobile so trying running rugby against them is suicide.

I think it takes more guts to play as Russell does than as a dull defensive 10.

Should really be a yellow on Racing there. Saints get the try eventually.

Ref really not doing Saints any favours.

I don't think it's guts. Russell can only play that way and so it's not elective. Fun to watch tonight.

What part of "carried back" is Mitchell struggling to understand?

Surprised that high tackle wasn't a yellow. With force

Going to so sound churlish because he has been brilliant tonight but that was bad by Russell. Adv and a free play to do what he does best: instead he does a bad kick to throw away the adv and immediately put his side back under pressure,

45-14 with fifteen minutes to play. This could get really ugly.

Going back to the late hit on Biggar. It is an intentional piece of foul play leading to an injury replacement . There is a case that the Racing player be banned for the amount of time Biggar is out.

Yep, it sounds like you're desperate as ever to find something wrong with what Russell does. That's not going to surprise anyone.

Of course that's a pen. Healey is talking shite.

Ludlam "he's nowhere near him".

Read the laws you idiot.

That is bullshit.

If going back to the original penalty, card a racing player.

Referee is shit.

I've kept my mouth shut on Adamson so far, but that try being chalked off is farcical.

No it's not. Same principle as Imhoff being pinged for a pen for being in front which brought Saints back down here. Imhoff absolutely was nowhere near anyone and had no impact on play but the law is the f**king law.

Posted: **Fri Dec 10, 2021 9:42 pm**

Yeah, the critical thing is he ran the line from in front of the pass.

Posted: **Fri Dec 10, 2021 9:43 pm**

FM.Seen it all now. A player dislocates his shoulder trying to catch a pass.

I popped off to grab dinner, so I think I missed that one.

In this case, it was Machenaud's angle of running that denied any possibility of making a tackle, he was travelling in completely the wrong direction. If he'd been running to make a tackle on the ball carrier, he wouldn't have ended up colliding with Sleightholme.

Gets easier for Saints. Chat on

If you late hit Russell and take him out of the match do Racing do so well?

It was 35-14 when Biggar went off

Russell with MOTM I assume but could easily have been Lauret. He and Tanga have had a field day.

Russell doesn't play so well if you smash him up a bit.

You're desperately clutching at straws. Making up late hit allegations because Saints got their arse handed to them.

This is not true.

Russell offers himself to the hard hit several times in every match to put other players into space.

He's never hidden in defence, always defending his own channel.

Exactly. Pete's just asshurt from the pumping Saints got tonight.

Tigers fan.

Still don't like Bigger being subbed due to a piece of foul play. If a late hit on Racing key player Russell led to him leaving the field it would have made this a closer match and I really like Russell and would have been most critical if he had been injured by some c*nt hitting him late.

Saints were really naïve and needed to badger the ref a bit more, play up/act especially with a team like Racing. You miss Lawes who certainly wouldn't have given Russell that much space and time.

Admittedly, I should have really written Racing don't play so well if Russell isn't on the field instead of "Russell doesn't play so well if you smash him up a bit."

He really does. Whatever else Russell might be, he’s always been prepared to take a hard hit for the team.

I’ve actually just noticed it was 35-7 when Biggar went off.
