On Friday the pack looked OK on the go forward but totally owned on defense, it was a weak pack and shows what a poor squad this is. If saints cannot put out the first choice then they are struggling. I do not know how Wilkin gets a shirt, he gets beat up physically and his stupid penalties are losing games. I wont go into his ball distribution skills or lack of them. Yes the pack is poor but the backs are not much better either. Apart from Percy, Lomax and Farges the rest are substandard at SL level. How on earth the club gave Swift an extension on his contract I fail to comprehend, his constant stupid mistakes and overrunning of the ball are costing Saints dear. With luck Regan Grace will take over on that wing. With Lee, Wilkin and Smith distributing the ball I feel I am watching in slow motion, they are absolute garbage. It is without doubt the worst Saints team in decades.
KC rightly got the push but he should not have been the only one, whoever coaches tackling technique should go along with the conditioning coach as Saints are getting beat constantly in the physical battle.
