Oh dear. 20 minutes in, and Wigan have realised they have Gelling and Manfredi against Dawson and Owens. Put your pints down lads, this is all over.

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 3:58 pm  

Another utterly useless defensive display on the flanks. Another utterly clueless offensive display all over the park. This could be a 40 point margin if Wigan don't switch off.

This is the worst Saints team of the super league era.

Pathetic attempt by Luke Walsh to tackle Tompkins for that try. Let his team mates down there, totally bottled it. Sick of having to carry him defensively. Fages is much smaller and puts himself about much more.

This'll be a harsh view, but the reason we're so poor is Lomax. He's a huge slice of our salary cap, and we've had no value out of him now for two years. The result is we're having to roll with sub-standard lower-league players like Thompson, Richards, Dawson, McDonnell.

Every one of our backs is worse than every one of Wigan's. Yet we're spending the same cash. We need to be ruthless now with Lomax. Either he's going to play, or he needs to go.

Re:the "rip". We're now relying on sympathy calls from the video ref to keep us in the game.

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 4:58 pm  

Walsh to blame for 2 try's now. Get rid. Stealing a living.

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 5:30 pm  

Pedestrian pace, no urgency to play the ball. Forwards lumbering forward. Walsh offers very little, and delivers very slow passes that give little opportunity for the receiver to attack the line at pace. You can see the difference with Fages who actually offers a threat. The ball never once moved beyond the centres, depriving the wings of a chance.

The defence was awful.

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 5:45 pm  

It's just a pour team and it's badly coached. To many players been brought in that just ain't saints standard. Me and few others on here predicted our last "transition" of bringing in poor players would set us back years and then Brown changed it round.

I'm pretty sure we now are back to the Potter/Simmons days and it's going to take money and years to get us anywhere near another final.

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 6:02 pm  

Never seen such weak backs, and so many of the forwards no better, there is no speed, only tactic in the book is kick in the air to the corner flag

Re: Wigan game : Fri Mar 25, 2016 6:15 pm  

We looked more like a pub team today and got mauled by the Wigoons, great defensive display by them and should have had 40 points on the board. Felt like walking out at half time, this team is so badly coached with no rugby brains at all, worse team I've ever seen in my lifetime, can't see me lasting any more games longer with this rubbish served up.
