No not really. I could have appeared after Magic if that was so. Maybe being a Salford fan allows you to keep your feet on the ground but for you (or it might have been Saddened) to suggest you need `a new pack, 2 centres, a 6 and a new coach` etc really beggars belief.

Look you are top of the League - try & accept defeat gracefully and be realistic.

I've not posted that but IMO we need a centre, stand off, two props and two backrows to be up there winning things as we've to many players that are Salford standard and not saints standard.

At least he caught a crossfield kick. Unlike everyone else in our team.

I`m not being smug - I am criticising Saddened & St Pete for not accepting defeat graciously. We will have 4 ex Saints possibly in tomorrow - TP, Meli, Dixon & Ashurst so we'll be up for it.

It's the performance we are not accepting graciously; not the defeat. We are supposed to be top of the league. Technically we are (although not after Wednesday). A top of the league team should not be conceding 42 points at any time, never mind against a team where we have only been on the losing side once, when we fielded an under 19s team.

On another subject - Is Manu on his way out? Back to Hull or looking for a club?

I hope he IS on his way out. He's done preciously little for us except drop the ball since he started. But then he's had Brown as his coach so he probably doesn't know from one week to the next which position he's playing.

That is truly naive!

When have Wigan been nilled by 42 points? Or Leeds? Even Warrington managed to score two tries against us in the first game of the season! And the point I make is that this has become a pattern for us (but not for Wigan, Leeds or Wire). When expectation is on us - on Good Friday, the CC at Leeds and at Magic - we don't turn up. Our attitude stinks and nobody is fixing it.

Who's naive I never said anything about the other teams being nilled I said they have all had their off days. Wigan the other week were torn apart by Cas, Leeds and Warrington have also lost games. Saints are still at the top of the table . We can only learn from this terrible result and move on . No point brining up Good Friday it's gone we lost. Put those loses behind us and move on.

We are top until Wednesday, when Wigan beat Widnes. Then we are third at best, and our points difference is shocking now when compared to others around us. We lose to Cas on Sunday, which I expect us to, and we are fifth I think if others around us win. If Saints don't buck up their ideas by next weekend we could feasibly be out of the play off positions very quickly as there aren't many points between the top eight.
