We have found our level as a team, just one of the average teams of Super League.

As a neutral it was edge of the seat stuff.
Until Zeb went over for the last try I didn't have a clue who was going to win.

Under Cunningham Saints do seem to be playing a very basic style of play. But whilst that will cost you in some league games, come playoff time how many times can you recall teams throwing it around and being attackingly agressive in Grand Finals??? Saints style will suit the end of the year.

We've not played well this year apart from salford away and Warrington home. We rely on the same players week after week while others don't pull their weight.

Agreed mate.tbh I'm not as knowledgeable about rugby as some but I want to be entertained at least.i thought the Salford game was the best performance this year.other than that I can't say I've been overjoyed.i remember reading a post a while ago I think you said we were missing a trick not having long more involved at pitch side instead of sitting on kc knee.couldnt agree more.

We lost by six points at a venue which has ALWAYS been a tough place to go. Admittedly we made some mistakes - and I don't agree with Cunningham's decision to play longer and lighter in the pack (if he wanted youth he should have used Savelio for the duration - at least he has the mass), but it was the INDIVIDUAL ERRORS which cost us the game.

Also, it's noticeable our scoring threat is significantly diminished now that Saints boo boy, Turner, is injured.

And yet, until last season am I right in thinking the only time we had lost there was in 2007? We had one of the better records there.

The problem with your premise is that today's game is not a one off. The poor discipline and poor tackling and one up rugby has been a theme all season.

I agree. I could forgive us when we had no halves again but we have to very good halves now and still don't look like playing good free flowing rugby.

Our defence has been shocking since the Souths game.

You should recruit an Ape to coach you. It works for some.
