We need to ship out Miski and Silva, we don’t need either and go and buy a big back rower, look at the impact Sironen had on the WCC game today with his strong running.

Yes I think you may be right terrible performance accross the park

Maybe it wasn't just your Head Coach who was knocking back the double Whiskey chasers in the hotel bar last night from the way your players played

Very lazy effort from the pack - letting the backs do all the work - some of them need a roasting in training or dropping.

Very disjointed in attack, we didn't look like we had any game plan at all at times and fell for some sucker punches from KR. Kicking game was all over the place.

Some poor disipline but Kendall nailed us at times for holding down but KR were just as guilty but somehow never got pinned for it.

Bloody awful game as a spectacle though.

Strange isn’t it. I saw just the opposite. Wigan were laying on many times but were not punished. We did get a few six agains towards the end when the visitors began to panic and lose their cool.

Whilst I don’t rate Silva, not sure what getting rid of him will do.

He will be on next to no money and is currently on loan.

We have money to spend, or rather should given Batemans departure so finance’s especially the wage of Silva shouldn’t be an issue.

Two in a row at the start of the second half - I am sure there were a couple late first half as well, pretty sure Wigan only got one. It is the sheer inconsistency that annoys me, some of the play the balls on both sides were ridiculously slow.

Is it me or is Mike Cooper looking old? I loved watching him for Wire, seemed to never have a bad game and looked fit as a fiddle.

Feel he gets out caught of position a lot in defence, getting left on the floor or retreating. Gave Leeds a try in the playoff semi and noticed it a few times tonight.


The point out the 3 not used quota spots in the team is a great one. Vossy kept saying saints had 7 ex NRL players in the team this morning. Not necessarily their best players but all solid contributors.

£200k to spend according to some fellow on here the other day, release Miski and Magoo and bring in 2 big fijians from the NSW cup

Our best prop today in my opinion.

How do we “release” players?
