He said: “It was a tough game, especially in that heat. We haven’t had many games like that recently, but having played Saints a couple of weeks ago, we knew exactly what to expect.
“I thought our game plan worked well in the first 20 minutes, and we always knew the impact our bench could bring.”
“It’s an 80-minute game and that’s something we pride ourselves on.”
“We’ve been in similar situations against them before, and we know how to fight our way back.”
“That’s one of this team’s biggest strengths – you’re never quite sure you’ve beaten us. We always want to win – we hate losing.”
“We pride ourselves on being tough to beat, and we showed that today.”
