1) It became obvious that this season, Hull KR are good.
2) Saints, not have a good year
3) The referees have decided to card Saints players for breathing this year (mild exaggeration, but several things Saints players have been carded for, players from other teams have not)
Match report here - https://www.saintsrlfc.com/matches/2024/first-team/hull-kr-v-saints-2024-05-04/?swcfpc=1 Saints lost, and had a player sin-binned (Matty Lees, about which, more later). In short, woe!
Also woe! Makinson is leaving at the end of the year (https://x.com/Saints1890/status/1792110445903642738). Now, we have had a good run from him, and I begrudge no one who puts their body on the line the chance of a ginormous lower tax-rate pay off from Catalan Dragons. On the other hand, I don't want to lose him!!!!
For Game 12:
The final score was 40-20 to Hull KR. Only 2 out of Saints's four tries were converted, as seen in the diagram below.
Adding an extra 4 points wouldn't have won Saints the game, but it wouldn't have hurt.
Adding an extra 4 points wouldn't have won Saints the game, but it wouldn't have hurt. 12 of 13 players are on the diagram for playing together when Saints conceded in game 12.
Matty Lees is the starting player who is not present, but that's more because he had 10 minutes in the sin bin for a yellow card, which undoubtedly didn't help the defence.

In game 12, Hull KR had the most point-scoring moments of any team Saints have played so far:
Who scores for Saints?:
Who scores for Saints?:
As expected, Percival who does the kicking (when he's on the pitch) has still had the most point-scoring moments.
When do Saints score?:
Game 12 was Tee Ritson's first game (not sure if injured or out of favour), which is why he is at the bottom of the "number of point-scoring moments Saints players are present for, up to game 12" bar chart.
The matrix of players present when Saints score looks like this:
Clark, Dodd and Sironen are present more often than expected alongside Welsby and Lomax when Saints score.
The matrix of players present when Saints score looks like this:
Clark, Dodd and Sironen are present more often than expected alongside Welsby and Lomax when Saints score. The network graph also reflects the players who have been injured, with Walmsley and Davies sticking out at the edge of the figure.
Interestingly, there's starting to be a pattern to when Saints concede, with minute 71 and 11 standing out.
Because they're ever presents, Lomax and Welsby are both at the top of the "how many point-conceding moments have Saints players been present for" bar chart.
Ritson and Wingfield haven't been playing, and Lees is a mixture of minutes not-played due to injury and being carded.

The "who are present together when Saints concede" matrix diagram is a different shape to the present-together-when-scoring equivalent, with the together least often group in the top left corner, then the most often together group in the middle (although that's been shifted up and to the left), then the intermediate ones taking up half the diagram.
The present together when Saints concede diagram is also developing.
