Mau ran with purpose. Glad it was only 18 points in the end.

At least we don’t support Cas

And you think Powell will bring improvements to Warrington?

I do like that none of them still gave up. A good few try savers in that 2nd half.

So, what exactly as Stand Off does Reynolds bring to the party?

Not too the last few games, but he has played in a beaten pack, looked looked when the pack was on top, but we certainly need more from him.

I don't think it will change much next week either , Other than the Salford game , I've not been impressed with our attack and last plays . Same errors and stupid penalties week after week are killing us . We cant expect our defence to bail us out and tonight it finally cracked .

Would've shipped 50/60 last year

Agreed, our attack except Connor is poor
Terrible discipline
Poor ball control.

Last two are easy fixtures, first one is more difficult with the pivots we have, I'm not sure 3/4 are good enough to compete regularly at the top.

In some ways I’d like to try Reynolds at scrum half and put Connor back at stand off. Put swift at full back and use someone else on his wing.

obviously disappointed with the result, however Savellio was clearly missed. Possession of 70/30 didn't give us a chance. Impressed with the effort though, thought Sneyd had a real dig and we deserved more points.

Saints are a machine though, LMS is a great player, (hoping) that some of those hamstring tweaks bare fruit for us next week, different prospect with the Faithful in the ground, my prediction FC win and Reynolds MOM
