Wigan played well and we were crap for the majority of the game and the Pies still couldn't beat us. Even with having a commanding lead at one point.

I don't think we were that crap tbh. In the first half for the majority of it we was all over them, the part of our game that was crap was finishing. Wigan's goal line defence was fantastic but also we made some stupid errors and poor passes. I would like to see some territory stats for the game. The only reason Wigan took a 16-0 lead was because they could finish and we couldn't.

I love Wello don't get me wrong. But look where Saints take the first tackle most times tonight. Look where Wigan do. Saints pack made more metres (I'd guess) than they did but they always ended up 20m further down field. That's because Wello doesn't get to kicks on the full and doesn't return them that far, despite often beating a man.

I would also love to know why Meli and Gardner rush to the middle whenever there is a high ball? They are often left hopelessly out of position. If they had confidence in Wello why would they do that?

His tackling is still good, the one to hold the Goon up over the line was quality. But I still feel we'd be far better off with a pacy player at fullback.

Well seeing as Wello went off injured, presuming he isnt fit for next week who would you like there? Lomax or Foster?
Personally i'd go with Lomax as I think he has more ball skill than Foster add maybe has a yard of pace on him too. But Foster's goalkicking could come into the decision, although he doesnt seem to be able to kick them off the touchline.

Re: Utter cr@p : Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:53 pm  
i understand your reasons for your opinion and fair enough and heres to a good discussion!!!

I feel it reflects badly on wellens with regards taking kicks on the full because and especially tonight our kicking game was awful, wheeler im afraid didnt do it at 6, and as I have said over the last couple of years, granted not on here eastmond is not and never will be the answer.

I beleive that our back 3 make as many metres as each other there or there abouts so this shooting into the middle and passing to each other, dropping each other off all the time is pointless in my opinion

For me I think that draw is just papering over the cracks for you, you only got good territoy from penaltys and yet again you can only score trys from 10m out.

You wont miss Cunningham with Roby though, he is an outstanding talent.

Eastmond played like a man who's heart and head are elsewhere. I'd be very surprised if he stays.

Agreed, judging on tonight's performance though, we may be better off cashing in and buying a good replacement.

the other thing to take into consideration, our coach wasnt around for most of the week. That is likely to have caused an element of disruption to the preparation for the game.

FWIW I am delighted with a draw. A bit more composure in the first half and we would have won it. With a fully fit Pryce and Eastmond, it would have been an emphatic victory.
