Now two things shine out in these figures
1. our inability to score in the second half. In 8 fixtures we have either managed only one try or been nilled.
2 The mid season collapse. This coincided with a run against the better teams.
Having watched the team with my own eyes this merely reinforces the belief that Saints this season have been poorly prepared physically. They just are not meeting the required fitness standards for Superleague RL.
I also think that teams make adjustment to their tactics at half time to combat what we throw at them. We stick to the same plan and get nullified.
Some of the scores above don't reflect on the fact that opposition teams have often put the cue on the rack eg Warrington the other week.
When we have scored points against opposition teams it is usually because they have an injury crippled side.
