I see the WUM's are out in force tonight. It's to be expected after we have given so much for years. But in fairness to most, they have managed to just ignore them.

Hammerings with a 9 point difference.
Bullied off the park, yet we are making more meters.
There are glaring problems at Saints, but tonight we held up against the 2nd best side in the competition, after giving another massive head start. 3rd head start in 3 games.

It;s becoming expected.

We crippled ourselves by moving Wilkin to loose forward. I hope Ade's ok, but no way should Makinson have been dropped. I think the coach has to take his eyes off the future for a while now and concentrate on the current team.

It's not too hard, you get a new player in, so you keep it as stable as possible.

Lance needs to be dropped for ever. He offers nothing at all.
When Lomax is back, Wellens needs to be utility on the bench, no more.

It should be

Lomax Makinson Percival Turner Meli GOB Wilkin
TP Roby LMS Manu Sia Laffranchi

Walmsley Clough Wellens (Thompson/Walker)

no need to keep rotating the halves.

Saints made more metres in the first half due to Broughy kicking downfield regularly and Saints having a fair bit of open field to run it back before they hit the defensive line. Saints only looked better in the second half due to our change in tactics, probably we were conserving energy as we are on again on Friday against Hull.K.R. only a three day turnaround.

1. Huddersfield are not a great team, yet what they do as a team is excellent. They slow the play down so much its unreal and it works a treat for them.

2. Josh Jones is a decent kid but he is a shocking Centre, 2 passes all night and both forward a mile, awfull!

3. Wilkin same old tricks, 5th tackle penalties. Just not good enough that Jon and for me along with Perry and Hohiah the three players on massive money that we must get shut of!

Slow the play down !!! that is a joke. Saints players were falling asleep on the tackled player ( and no penalties from Silverfish forthcoming ). No our game this season is based on a quick play the ball, and Browny knows this, that`s why he adopted his old policy of laying on.

I think you missed the point. I wasn't suggesting that we had some right to win simply because we are Saints. I was pointing out that on paper, our team is stronger - significantly so - than most others in SL, yet we are achieving worse results and making the excuses of much weaker teams.

You are going on past glories, Puletua has gone, Wellens gone, Soliola (grafter) but not tackle busting anymore, Meli passed his best, Gardener tryer but not breaking tackles anymore. LMS a grafter but a bit of a penalty machine.

Can't think of anyone in your team we would desperately want apart from Danny boy though.

Only one I would have from Saints would be Roby, and only as a back up for Lunt.

Take Crabtree, Kozpacktdgh, Brough and McGilvery and put them in the Saints 17 and I reckon we'd have a very serious team. IMO of course.

Grix over Lomax at FB, really?

I'd have Walmsley in there before LMS too.

Are you Nathan Brown? Soliola at centre? Manu at LF? Puletua at SR?

Also, to even consider LMS and to put Grix over Lomax?!

Re: Huddersfield game : Wed Jun 05, 2013 9:30 am  

Lomax didn't play
