    Tell you what, he will make some **** ups through his relative inexperience, but you can already see that Romeo Lavia is absolute mustard.

    Valery is a bit of unit these days. Getting a bit more savvy too.

    And hopefully it won't be long before he gets his chance. But there is not much to choose between him and Valery. The latter certainly earns his selection based on preseason.

    Noticed this. Him and trent have beefed up this season. Reminds of me the change of JWP a couple of years back

    Often found with Saints that with 2 they know their job and with 3 they relax as one of the other 2 will deal with it

    I've not seen him play but if he is a similar level to Valery then why tf did we buy him? Pretty clear our defence was crap so we should only be looking to buy someone who is an upgrade that will come right into improve the team.

    I hope either Bella-Kotchup just needs a few weeks to get used to the system or that we intend to bring someone else in, because if we intend to keep the same defence as last season we are ****ed. Only time will tell

    I don’t think that is unique to saints. It is often said with back 3s. Not a straightforward switch

    Funny how we’ve had a whole team rebuild and 3 players that weren’t good enough to play for us last year start today haha

    Very disappointing to concede from two crosses as a 5 back.

    Lavia is fantastic.

    Still in this.

    By way of some perspective - we're narrowly losing away to most people's pick for a healthy third in the table....

    Plus, as has been said, Lavia looks superb.

    I mean it would be funny. If the statement "we've had a whole team rebuild" was a true one. But it isn't

    Jesus wept. I hope the team has more backbone than some of our fans.
