Not acceptable to lose to sale. We are supposed to be the best team in the country. Those games are the ones we should be winning.
I can see why you'd think that but if you heard Calum talk about anything, not just that incident, you'd change your mind as he is such a compassionate, thoughtful individual, shown too by the act of sending a hand written letter to Hawkins after the incident. But, everyone has different opinions! Shame we lost..
Saints attack into the 22 in a desperate final play as the rain starts to fall.
Sale turn over and clear. George North collects and takes into contact. Final play here.
All of you calling CC a thug on here are cowards.. I bet none of you could say it to his face. He's a legend and we love him.
Saints within 10 metres of the Sale line, picking and going in search of the losing bonus point.
No doubting his ability or his enterprise; he is a very good player who thrives in an attritional position. That said, I wouldn't view that as a "regrettable moment". I'd view it as a calculated callous attack which Rob Hawkins might not forgive so quickly.
Saints finding a promising late spell, they begin to move the ball well but it comes to end after not releasing. Sale find touch.
Thug who won the prem might I add ;)
THUG
