I think the important question is 'Why is Wilkin allowed to commentate' If you find him annoying, believe me as a Saints fan it's like purgatory

I noticed after the Wigan loss you'd sprung into action and after this Saints loss, you've made the most of the opportunity to rain down a load of negatives.

What do you want now: sack the coach? Get rid of all the players?

If we win next week, will you be back?

No need to launch an ad hominem attack, we're all frustrated by the last two weeks no matter how we dress it up, but at the end of the day I'm entitled to my opinion and don't need people jumping down my throat.

Dear god what kind of fans have we got ... Eight wins on the bounce... Let's all have a party ... Lose two matches and it's.. let's bring back public executions ... A season is fluid ... Good wins and bad losses with injuries playing a part ...I've seen nothing to say that Wigan and sts can't be beat so long as the team learns the lessons and the fans learn to have a bit of faith

It's not the fact that it's 8 wins then two losses. It's the nature of the losses. We've been totally outplayed in both, nilled in two halves and looked devoid of creativity and nerve by teams we should be considering our nearest rivals. Wigan, I could kind of take, but to lose in a very similar vein to a poor Saints team is just disappointing that's all.

You have been saying this for 60yrs?

2 depleted sides playing in the first quarter of the season. Not exactly a massive game was it. Yeah bar a few we weren't good and just shows when we don't have the forwards we can't cope. I disagreed with Dita about 7 props aren't enough, but seeing as our whole plan revolves around our forwards i tend to agree now.
Again this was an overhyped game that isn't the be all end all on the spectrum. But seeing as they were much more depleted than we were it shows we still aren't good enough.
Back end of the season might tell a different story but i'm not gonna sweat it at this stage of the season.
2 week break and away we go again.
Russell was proberbly our best player today

I totally agree that we're all entitled to our opinions:

We've won 8 out of 10 against some very decent sides including Catalan's away, so my opinion is that you seem to be enjoying the negativity around these 2 results given the 'passion' in your numerous posts in the past week.

The 'passion' mirrors my levels of disappointment, tis all. I'll rein it in.

BTW, someone kind of nailed it for me in a earlier post: it looks like we're running on empty.

Disappointing, but there's a long way to go and we need some losses early doors to help us learn some lessons for when it really matters.
