There are positives to be taken from the game. They only started to take us apart in the second half when Hohaia went off and our organisation went to pot. Add Roby and Lomax into that team and we could quite concevably have won

Like I said earlier I expected us to fade in the 2nd half given that we had less preparation between games.

However, our appalling starts are killing us.

The only positive to be taken from that game was that it ended.

Good effort from Saints, if you carry on playing like that you might just sneak a top 8 playoff place. Love the lad Percival, great talent. I think you rely too much on the three wrecking balls Manu, Soliola and Puletua. They're your biggest threat attacking wise.

Pretty good summary really. I dont like losing but it's more acceptable when it's to a good side like Dire than it is losing to duffers like HKR and Widnes.

Ashe is pretty terrible , and I cant figure out what Brown see's in him tbh

Yeah, so duff we beat you twice in two weeks. Arrogant pr1ck.

I wasn't too disheartened by that, we played well in parts and you can see its starting to come together, add Toby and Lomax to that team and we'd have won that game

What? How can conceding 48 points, which is worse than last week or indeed at any time since God knows when, mean that 'it is starting to come together'? Just because we scored a few tries off the back of Wire's mistakes does not mean we are on some progression to somewhere better. We're only in 8th tonight because Agent Ganson made Hull FC win.

I'd like to know how Lomax and Robes playing would somehow spirit us a win in that game. They played in the first game of the season but we got tonked by Hudds and conceded over 40 points then too.

Some people are living in cloud cuckoo land. We'll be lucky to finish in the top eight.

There's no point arguing with you as you have no knowledge of rugby or common sense. Anyone with any knowledge of the game would know how close it was. Warrington ran away with the last 10 mins, that is all

Bring back Royce that will solve all the problems or caused alot of them in the first place.

There are positives this season, the fact you can't see that is not anyone else's problem. If it's just the number of points that wire scored that bothers you then don't worry, we have taken worse beatings in the past.

Still lots to work on and plenty of room for improvement, but you can only do so much when you are unable to remove the top earners at will.
