KC post match interview : Thu Aug 20, 2015 9:39 pm  

Just got in from the game and thought I'd rewind the post match interviews. KC thought we played some good stuff! Is he watching the same game? We was clueless again with the ball. Boring one up rugby and rubbish little grubbers on 3rd tackle when we on their line.

I don't think I've ever seen a saints side so poor with the ball. Even pre super league when we was fighting just to make the top 8 premiership we played better rugby than this!

The bloke is draging us down faster than Jordan with her knickers. Seems his bollocked all his players again in the dressing room tonight. However it's Eamonn who should be giving KC a ear full. I'd heard he'd refused a interview so i stand corrected on that.

The wrong man for the job. The best thing that can happen for this club is to lose our next 4 play off games so we make drastic changes. If we make the top 4 it does nothing but paper over the cracks. Some players are on too much money because there face fits.

Sadly it appears KC has learnt the most from Simmons. We look utterly lost and bereft of any confidence, skill or threat. Considering it is pretty much the same team that won the GF last year, you can only really lay the blame in one place.

We moved it about more within the forwards, with Turner hitting tip plays and inside balls which actually seemed reasonably effective. We don't have strong enough running second rowers for our current structure (when you consider 1/6/7 all have no running threat). Looks like we have no confidence in ourselves now though.

Only Lomax and Vea missing from our strongest team. No excuses.

Slightly more effort this week, but still the old one man rugby followed by predictable dumb plays. Turner looks a bit messed up now, bit late now in the season to try and make him into a loose forward should have started the game at centre where I reckon he would have had more chance of scoring than Jones.

Quinlan looking like a one trick pony now and is probably one of the worse defensive full backs we've ever had.

Don't know where KC goes from here, the players are not playing for him and our game tactics are just not up to Super 8's standard. The club needed to fix quite a few issues tonight but they have failed miserably and doesn't look good for the remaining games.

I think Saints are missing Wilkin more than fans realise.

Panic in attack and desperate last ditch tackles in defence for the full game is never going to get us a win.

Personally I think McDonnell is a better full-back than Quinlan. So I'd add him.

And we might as well add Walsh to the list - because there is just no comparison between him and the Luke Walsh who was tearing it up before injury.

Quinlan isn't giving us an awful lot. And niether are our halves. You just can't afford to have three of the four most influential positions in the game not functioning.

Wilkin returning (hopefully for Walsh) will give us more impetus. After all, Burns and Wilkin have played well together this season.

But even so, it's a tough ask if Quinlan's doing what he was tonight.
