I’m not sure we should ever be praising effort, that should be an absolute given every game.

We have to many players who are simply not good enough. We played okay, granted I’d have expected a reaction after last week. Saints were garbage but still won.

Wigan, a confident Wakey and Catalans next up. Yikes.

You come across as a bit of a tool when you can't see the difference between that performance tonight and what we have been serving up in the last two months.

As I said it’s all well and good putting a bit of a performance in against Saints at home when you’ve just been embarrassed at home the week before. In the last 18 months this team has shown when we come up against your Wakefield’s, Castlefords, Leigh’s etc they don’t want to know.

I’ll revisit your comment in three weeks time when we’ve played Wigan, Wakefield and Catalans.

We've all been moaning about our performances and rightly so. This is the St Helen's match thread where we played quite well.

LTS has a point in that the next 3 games are massive in respect how we approach them. We need a minimum of 4 points IMO and no plucky losses.

But WE LOST.

Saints were garbage, the worst I’ve seen them play against us for years and they still beat us. And you’re saying we played well, what does that say about us? Then you’ve got Daryl Powell saying we’ll win the GF if we play like that. Good grief.

Re: Tonight’s game v Saints. : Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:19 pm  

That was much better from the boys.

Saints only won due to crap officiating again.

Ref missed two forward passes that led to tries for saints and calling that drop ball from Hurrell with 10 minutes to go as a rip was complete garbage… at best the ref guessed.

Unbelievable!

Are you for real?

Words fail me.

It's probably best you don't watch too many future games as if you really believe that, you're going to have more than a few disappointments going forward.

You seem like quite an angry person.

I was fine until I watched Daryl’s interview to be honest.

Re: Tonight’s game v Saints. : Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:27 pm  

Did I just watch Powell say he believes this team can win the Grand Final?
The man’s living in cloud cuckoo land.
