Absolutely pathetic effort : Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:40 pm  

Can't fault the first half.

2nd half did any of them even bother, missed tackles galore and a complete lack of effort.

That's harsh. I don't think it was a lack of effort - Saints turned up the heat and we panicked.

thought morely gave it to them on a plate

first half was good....but need to learn lessons from previous seasons and keep up the intensity for 80 mins.....forwards were outstanding, we made all the ground through them. Kicking game from briers and moners was poor, again!

Home early? If you cant back the team each week then dont watch them - its the first game ffs!! get a grip. Saints would have beat anyone in that second half. Judge the team after 8-10 matches not 1.

We let Saints back into the game and had no idea how to stop them. Our marker defence is still weak and as soon as Saints went up the middle they dominated.

It's the first game of the season and we played for 50 minutes out of 80, a bit like last year really.

26 unanswered points in 31 minutes is unacceptable for any team that wants to win things.

Most teams havent got a clue when Saints just get a rollon and run the ball - theyve won umpteen trophys with this style.
