I reckon he still has a bad ankle, noticed that he was limping off after the final whistle of the Widnes game last week, surprised no one else has mentioned it.

He's been limping since he came back the first time. Players who have that type of injury do limp for some time.

I've just come back from broken ankle and im limping but I'm 100% better.

Walsh has no running game, and Burns doesn't have a brain. His decision making is shocking.

But, to be fair, There was no platform, the Saints forwards were taken to task there.

Our pack is Looking poor. It's been beaten the last 3 weeks.

I just don't see the point in playing Walsh, at the present he is an asset to the opposition as his defence is non existent and he looks afraid of carrying the ball. I cannot get my head round the Saints logic of extending Walsh's contract when he was injured and why Dawson was given a further two years. After his performance tonight (Dawson) he should be given a four year contract in Strangeway's. Having said that the whole team should be docked half their pay.

Would Travis Burns be anywhere near a SL team if he wasn't Australian?

Re: 6 and 7 : Fri Jul 03, 2015 10:29 pm  

It's a bit rich blaming Burns when Walsh was the worst player on the pitch.

Travis isn't the player he was. But he's got more guts in his left fingertip than Walsh has ever shown.

The problem we have is right now Wilkin is a better scrum half than Walsh.

I hear the argument about having three attacking pivots on the pitch. But if NONE OF THEM offer any pace then we're better off dropping to two and bringing in someone like Quinlan - who does at least have some pace. I dunno - anyone.

But we can't carry on playing three pivots who not only lack pace but acceleration, too.

Walsh looking awful since he came back. He's missed 6 tackles in 40 mins of rugby. He missed 7 against cas the other week. He's a very very weak link in defence and teams will target him.

Not seen Burns in the game tonight at all, I forgot he was even playing.

Worst 40 mins ive seen from a super league team in years.

Agreed but were either playing tonight?

they should sit walsh and burns down and make em watch a couple of old videos of tommy martyn and longy when they played together...abbot and costello would be a better half back pairing than those two.and as for matty dawson..he couldnt get in the giants first team..(im not surprised with his pathetic tackling and ball dropping)..we may be 2cnd in the chart..but this is the worse saints team ive seen for a while..they struggled against widnes after being 18-6 up..then they threw an 18-10 lead away at cas..everyone was taking the mickey out of the pies loss at warrington..saints were even worse tonight!

You could say that about most of Super League's imports, prime example is Steve Michaels at Hull FC, he is beyond average but gets a game every week.
