Re: Last 12 months - Wire and Saints Transformations : Mon Mar 12, 2018 2:56 pm  

I for one have had enough of this 5 drives and a kick bull poop tactics. I've come away from the game on Friday, along with my dad and brother and we've all said that's it. Until we start actually entertaining, they are not parting with there money. I don't care so much about the losing. Its the entertainment i am paying for. Watching us so far is just painful.

Since Price was appointed i said he will be sacked by Easter. I hope its sooner....

I think it's a bit difficult to expect much expansive rugby when most of our available squad seem to be forwards unless Price is bold & throws a few kids in.

Unfortunately BMM isn't.

That first paragraph sums my feelings up, too.
I pay my £20odd to be entertained, not just hoping we win.
If I only want us to win, I might as well never go to another game/turn on the TV ever again. I'd be as well just turning on the internet, about 15 mins after the projected final whistle, to find out the result.
Since Wembley 12, we've been on a mission to bore people witless. As far as I'm concerned, it's mission accomplished.
Take the odd risk. Dummy runners, run angles, not just drive drive drive.
Did we actually draw a man and beat Saints' line, on Friday night?
I may have nodded off and missed it.

Saints are nowhere near their previous levels of the self styled "entertainers" tag. They are still easy on the eye, though.
At the moment, I'd rather be stuck in a broken lift with a bunch of accountants talking shop, than watch our "style of play"

We may not be entertaining, but if we were winning and not entertaining I’d be quite happy.

I’ve been quite entertained 2013-2017 and seen us win no trophies. Wigan won a couple super league titles with boring rugby during that time.

I know we won’t win SL the way we are playing st present, but if we had to win it by boring rugby I’d be all in. At least to get our first title in the summer era anyway.

Whatever floats your boat.
It sinks mine.

They are a well-coached and drilled team there’s no doubt but I honestly wasn’t that impressed with Saints. I thought they were there for the taking at half time and we shipped in some soft tries. I think a good team (Leeds or Wigan) would have ran them very close on Friday. Holbrook has been there months now and obviously Price has had a few games so I’d like to see where we are after at least 15-20 games before I begin to panic. It will take time. Tony Smith got 8 years.

I have no idea how you can come to that conclusion when we’ve conceded 7 tries and scored 26 in 5 games. It also says a lot that you weren’t impressed with us yet we still won by 18 points. As for Price, to appoint someone with such a poor record was just incompetence at its finest. His record speaks for itself and 6 games in, if I was a wire fan I’d expect to see at least some signs of improvement by now but instead every performance has been just as bad as each other with the one exception of Wigan which still was poor in attack.

Looking at both teams starting 13 on Friday I reckon there's three Wire players who get in the Saints team:

Hill for Thompson
Clark for Roby
Ben Murdoch-Masila for Peyroux

There’s not one saints fan who would take any of those players in place of the ones you said. I’d happily have Hill but Thompson and Walmsley are both miles better than him atm, Thompson is second for metres made and Walmsley isn’t far behind. Roby is still a fair bit better than Clark which says a lot considering his age and BMM looks awful and Peyroux is in better form and is the most improved player in this league.

It doesn’t float my boat, believe you me.

But if it was a choice between entertainment and victory I’d take the latter. Everyone was quick enough to call for Paul Cullen’s head based on no trophy return for the cost invested in the team, despite the exciting brand of attack.

So, yes, I’ll take the Wigan approach and the SL titles if they’re on offer thanks
