I find the more disappointing part of this the amount of our own supporters that rejoice and take pleasure in our poor performances so they can run to a forum and tell everyone they told them so. Mental is that. We are all followers of the same club, the club that is champions of British RL as we speak. The coach is a legend of that club and yet still people rejoice in his failure. It's a sad indictment of most Saints fans I know these days and the selfishness inherent within. The period from 1997-2006 built an expectancy and demand in most modern day Saints fans and now with the internet age, we've all got to have such daft views rammed down our throat. Give it a rest.
We are beyond bad at present. Last night was without doubt one of the worst games of RL I've ever had the privelige of being at. It should been over with after 20 minutes but mercilessly, Hull and Child conspired to keep us in the game with error after error.
I do place the blame at Cunningham's door. The conservative style of play is inexcusable for me. If we're gonna lose then do it having a go. However, the stark reality is that too many gave up last night. They didn't want to know that second half when Hull got a roll on. It was the kids and Walmsley trying to pull us through as always. Burns hasn't worked out, due to the role he's been given IMO on that right where he has no influence at all. Walsh is simply not the same player at all. Flanagan shouldn't be anywhere near a Saints shirt and the likes of Masoe and Quinlan on recent form for me, should be sat in the stands now. They just don't want to know. Dropping Amor was a crazy decision. Dropping Turner last week and retraining him as a loose forward for this week is even crazier.
It comes down to effort though most of it. Why the effort has gone I don't know and I pray it isn't because of the coaching. If it is, then that is going to be hard to resolve. Lose the players and you're knackered.
