That is about right.

Yep, all out panic stations. Lost by one point and drew at grounds we hardly ever perform well at, and lost by two in the last seconds against one of the best teams in the league.

Better (on paper) Saints teams have started out FAR worse than this.

We could do without people spreading nonsense to be quite frank.

lost by two against a team Wigan hammered.

Nah only Saints and our rag tag bunch of losers can lose to Hudds, surely?

Exactly.

It was mentioned above bit the run of fixtures we have coming up we could well end up in a real mess. We're not good enough at the moment to win away from LP against anything bar the weakest teams and it doesn't look likely that we'll beat any of the big sides at the moment. The board could end up in a position where removing Royce is the only option in a month or two.

And we can't be 2 points behind either. We must be at least 5 behind Warrington by now. Haven't they only dropped one point so far?

Wire have only dropped one point, so we must be at least 5 behind We've only dropped 5 points in total, how can we be at least 5 behind anyone?

We're 4 off Wire and 3 off Wigan/Hudds/Leeds/Catalans (assuming Leeds/Catalans win their games in hand).

Not panic stations (especially since we're only a penalty goal in three separate games away from being top of the league) but we certainly need to start finding some form.

It's funny that all the usual knee jerking suspects who had us down for a 40 point shoeing at Hudds are still knee jerking just as hard (if not harder) after another very narrow defeat.

Not only that but there has only been a whisker in the 3 games where we have dropped points. The draw at HKR, beaten by a wonder try after the hooter against Catalan and a 1 point defeat yesterday that could have been a win with the conversion from the touchline and a bizzare kick from Huddersfield that hit both uprights AND the crossbar before going over.

All if's and but's with a single bounce of the ball our way we could well have been on maximum points !

There is no hiding from the fact that we have been below par especially in defence prior to yesterday but we are not as bad as is being painted by some.
