I watched the match on TV to start with. I saw what happened. And it always does with Meli. I stopped making excuses for Meli after Grand Final number three.

Are we talking about the Monaghan try? What did Meli do wrong, exactly?

I though Josh did ok. Looks diffcult to pull down and has good feet. Defence was ok except for the dummy from Hodgeson, but we were stretched then anyway. I was suprosed not to see Makinson, but we made it work.

Yes thats the one she is talking about,i have mentioned why it was scored and why Meli cant carry the can on that one but i may as well talk to my coffee cup.

Saints fans moto is it's not Royce's fault. She would say black was blue for Royce . I have no idea where this pinning your colours the mast of one particular coach comes from.

She states the players should have played like this for Royce, but blatently ignores that Royce told them not to play this way.

Roby did not play the same as he did in the last 2 weeks, whilst he tackled like a machine and ran hard, he was less effective than he currently is.

I've given up trying to talk her round as she is blind to the obvious. And despite both the on and off field problems that Royce brought, she will say all this was possible under Royce if he was given more time. It's an impossible arguement to disprove and so she can say it till the cows come home, without anyone being able to prove her wrong. Just as I could argue had we kept hold of Millward we would have won all the grand finals from his sacking till now. No one can prove it wrong but it does not make it right.

I've watched the match back again this morning and Wilkin didn't come out of the line as you said he did.

Please enlighten us as to these problems on and off the field? Are you accusing him of something specific? Libellous perhaps?

You are sounding progressively more childish as time goes on.

theres only one stan wall wrote:

SaintsFan: The players didnt agree with Royce's style of play and monotonous out the back predictive style of play he enforced. I have it on good authority senior players asked for more licence to play in a less structured way and one senior player in particular shot down. LMS made reference on interview last night to enjoying rugby again & been given the scope to play and the squad have responded. We were modelled on West Tigers style of play which didnt suit us & was becoming predictable...we never looked like scoring at times.
Longy was critical & voice his opinions just before the sacking...and thank god, nice bloke but Royce was turning the likes of Gaskell & Lomax into one trick robots.
Criticise the players all you like but that clowns pig headedness cost him hid job, the change of style has brought a change in attitude but in any job you need to be enjoying it. I know i was bored senseless at times this year.

Anyone with eyes can see our playing style has changed since Royce left (for the better). She cant or wont accept it which is quite funny.
