Stuck at home ill watching and it's certainly been entertaining. No doubt we are missing Amor again and I dont think Silverdud has given us too much but were still in there fighting and the Goons are down to 15, will be interesting to see if we can start to make the extra subs count

I think if we look after possession a little better we'll pull away. It's probably going to end up being stressfully close, though.

Balls.

Dont know what Brown said to em at halftime but he needs to never say it again. It's been a dreadful second half performance so far. No go forward, no composure a very very very poor show

Phil Clarke's bias has never been more apparent.

Very poor. Matty Smith had all the time he wanted to kick the ball at the end of Wigan's first set of the half, and that set the tone. Have we finished a set since half time?

Not seen the stats but it wont be many. We have made a workmanlike goon team look much better than they are and our pack showed yet again that we rely too much on Amor. Very disappointing performance and the fact we looked like we'd given up with 20 minutes to go is pathetic

other than Wilkin and Wellens does any saints player know what it feels like to win a grand final? Shown today that you don't have the attitude of a trophy winning team, very much like Nathan Brown of Huddersfield. Just a complete demolishing job in the 2nd half even with 2 players injured early on.

Flash in the pan.

I wouldn't say we gave up with 20 to go. We just panicked. There was enough time to get back into a rhythm and claw our way back in, but we basically improvised the last half hour, with horrible results.

The main concern is that for three consecutive games we have been physically dominated for at least 40 minutes. That shouldn't be happening with the pack we've got.

Re: Game Thread : Fri Apr 18, 2014 1:26 pm  

Particularly against a pack that was running with 2 subs for over half the game.

Not gonna worry too much yet
Saints have had a great start to the season and probably needed this loss with the last couple of performances.
Could have lost the last 2 games and need to show more steel.
Lance has impressed me and I never wanted to see him in the red v again after the friendly against Wigan.
Wheeler will certainly be lucky to get a look in now.
Forwards are worrying. Amor is immense but the other guys need to step up
LMS isn't looking great at the moment.
