That was dreadful. They cared, we didn't. It was a Derby ffs and only one side wanted it.

I would give credit to Russell, Ashton and Walker for their effort. The young lad did nothing wrong when he came on.

The way Dufty ducked out of every defensive effort was shocking and Thewlis should take his place.

Reading some of the comments on here does make me smile.

If knee jerking was an Olympic sport, there would be a few fellas on here who would be nailed on gold medallists...

Have we not got anyone who can kick further than 10 yards into touch from a penalty.

When we get a penalty, we knock on or pass to the opposition on play 2 anyway.

What tonight has showed is if Currie and Clark are moved onto pastures new we can cope AND we can can invest heavily in other areas of the squad we are seriously lacking. Don’t forget we’re decades behind the two sides who have just beat us in regards to progressing youth tonight is a prime example.

Don't think we need to panic.

Even though saints were depleted in the forwards like us, they've been at the top for 4 years so a patched up Wire side which has only been assembled relatively recently isn't going to be favourites.

It was a disappointing performance but when our forwards return, we'll be a different kettle of fish. Our attacking enterprise is miles better already than under Price and we look a damn site more creative than Saints. Once we regain more control of the ruck and have our opposition on the back foot, our backs will be able to execute these plays with more space.

Disappointing tonight, but nothing too serious to worry about once our forwards return.

Cope? If Walker got injured and we no longer had Clark we'd be stuffed in the 9's.

We lost but the two week break has come at a welcome time because we need to get players back into the side and reset... Position wise we are still good fortunately and the next set of games gives chance to push on again ... We really need to learn how to slow the ruck down though as our opponents have done with great success in the last couple of weeks

Re: Tonight’s game v Saints. : Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:16 pm  

How much longer can we keep saying 'oooh just wait til the forwards are back!' while teams bully and slow us down. We don't seem to have a plan B.
