Savelio would have brought more to that game than Masoe. He doesn't take it up enough. I can understand 1 pass away before taking the tackle but it annoyed me how many times he passed it instead of taking the hit up. We're carrying him at the moment. It's like having a monster truck but my nan driving it.

He's way too aggressive and strong for our pack , why would we pick him when we can keep playing players who have shown they have no stomach for a fight.

Talk about knee jerk reaction. This is ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous, we may have been unbeaten for a while but the only stand out performances were against Leeds and Warrington (who seem to struggling this year). Some supporters need to wise up to just how poor this team is being coached.

Lack of intensity in defence today, Leeds kick and chase putting us on the back foot, our kick and chase very lazy giving Hardaker loads of space.
Walshy poor game with his decision making but that may be down to Leeds and there excellent cover defence.
Need to get on the bike against London and Bradford and rebuild some confidence.

I agree, although I'd have to defend Amor who was excellent for us today. Walmsley did well apart from dropping ball with his 1st carry.

Amor is exempt from any criticism tbh , he is a proper forward, I just wish we could clone him.

People need to get a grip. Saints have all the tools to win the title. They caused us some serious problems today in small bursts, especially when they moved the ball wide early. There were warning signs in last years playoff meeting that saints were coming back, with a younger and faster team.

Anywhere in the top 4 gives you a serious chance of making old trafford, saints should finish in the top 4 no problem this season and from there will have a real chance. Scores can decieve. People see a 20 point margin, but if saints do the little things better they can reverse todays result no problem.

Leeds had a terrible easter in 2009, they won the title. Leeds had 50 points put on them at home by warrington and wigan in 2011 and 12 respectivley, they beat both teams to win the title in both those years.

This time of year means nothing.

The Challenge Cup means nothing ? We are showing time and time again that we have no idea of how to win a big game.

Leeds have a mental and physical toughness we lack. On paper we are a very good team but in reality we are seriously lacking.

For me the challenge cup means alot, losing a few SL games can be brushed under the rug but 50% of the season officially died today for us.
