It's never too late to do the right thing!

It's Mike Rush who loves Brown. Wants him to stay on after next year. McManus trusts Rush. So I very much doubt McManus will sack Brown. Brown is secure and all the players can go home knowing they don't have to perform well to be guaranteed a spot next week.

I'm sure McManus will be back out at the play off game warning the players in the programme and acting the big man making his big threats. Then we'll be ritually humiliated and he'll shut up until the soundbite notes next year when the season opener at LP is looming.

in all honestly i think if saints hadn't been at the top of the table....our chairman would have sacked brown by now..

Let's just think about that for a moment. It's the equivalent of football fans talking about a forward who 'does nothing in a game except score goals'.

Absolutely dreadful. I think that's the worst I've ever seen us. EVER.

And did you see the Saints stroll on 68 minutes?

Would never happen in Wigan that boys!!!

Never mind the 68th minute they strolled for 75 mins out of the 80 mins. I,m blaming the players 100% for this shocking performance not the coaching staff not the chairman but every individual who was wearing a saints shirt on that pitch.

It was our last regular home game a derby against one of our local rivals for bragging rights and the best opportunity to win silverware with a large home crowd on your side.........you don,t need a coach or chairman to prepare for this, if you are professional then self motivation surfaces to make sure you perform at your best.

What we got was a very amateur lazy performance who surrendered to the opposition quite easily after 5 minutes, I,ve never seen so many dumb offensive and defensive plays in one single match before.

Our defensive line speed was non existent allowing warrington to make 10-15 metres on every play, Warrington were smart in knowing the ref was not policing the 10 metre rule and were 2-3 metres up before we played the ball putting us on the back foot'

One of the embarrassing moments was when Makinson dropped the ball on the kick return, 6 players put in a lot of effort to pat him on the back including Swift who ran 50 metres from the other side of the pitch to join in with the back slapping sympathy ceremony.

If we some how manage to win the league leaders shield we can thank the players for making this achievement as flat as a pancake after yesterdays game.

Only if Cas slip up - we wont beat Hudds that's for certain. However, the fact we're top 2 sums it up yes!

The worst I've seen us play as far back as I can remember. Standout moment, Monaghan's try when Turner trotted out of the line and let Monaghan walk past him. I can't see much joy for us next week or in the playoffs.

Re: Shamefully bad : Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:27 am  

Most of what my feeling are have been posted in the previous 4 pages.

Whatever Brown may think, McManus will be fuming.

Our forwards have been rightly pilloried but our backs were just as bas. In particular Turner was complete poo; I just don't rate him. My thoughts go back to all the Hull fans warning us that his defence in non existent.

Why didn't he pick Wheeler, he surely could do NO worse than Wello, Hi Ho & Turner. Having said that he would probably have gone off injured after 30 seconds.

We've still never beaten Warrington at LP. Although our win record there as improved this season, overall it's still not great.

Since 2012 we've played 44 competitive fixtures at LP. We've won 27, drawn 1 and lost 16 times. There's still no fear factor there. Teams still look forward to coming down and playing us there.

In 44 away fixtures we've won 28, drawn 2 and lost 14 times.

Now I've no doubt got these figures slightly wrong but the message is still there...although it's improved, we're still a bit of a soft touch at home.
