Quote JWP="JWP"You know Rob, I don't think we fell away really. I've watched the game since, a couple of times, yeah we were fatigued, that comes with rotating off fifteen, and starting with only three frontline props, so you have to factor that in, but up until literally the last seconds we were out there, giving 100%.
We were 6 down at HT, lost by 14, so the second half deficit was only marginally worse than the first. Saints just killed us by executing key plays at the right times, and that was that really, the difference if you will.'"
I know where your coming from and i take your point, it just feels like deja vous though like we have been here before. Saints lost Fasavalu and they also had a couple of walking wounded, it just seems that when required saints find this extra energy and the extra gear from somwhere, maybe that comes with experience of them being in so many big games over the years where at times they will have had their backs against the wall and have learnt how to dig deep.
Maybe with time and touch wood some bigger games under our belt we will learn how to do similar, i guess its a sign of champions when you can raise your game when your up against it like saints have done down the years against us.
