I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Re: Saints Home : Mon Aug 02, 2021 9:17 pm  
Well after watching that I can see myself walking away from the sport. Whilst we were pretty abject again and were never really going to win what really is killing the game for me is the officials. Tonight we weren’t angels and rightly got penalised for some stuff what I find hard to take is the different way Child ruled the game for us compared to St’s. Most of the night St’s we’re offside with not intent to get back onside yet Child ignored that fit the majority, nor being square and also moving off the mark again ignored, we got penalised for leading with the arm yet Walmsley on about every 3rd carry went in leading with the elbow/firearm or knee yet nothing given. The yellow for Johnstone was harsh but the yellow for Ligi was a joke considering Percivals head shot moments earlier. Plus Childs missed the punch thrown by Matautia and the amount of 6 agains he gave then yet St’s were holding down and spoiling the ptb in almost every occasion but we got little given.
The game is becoming a complete farce and whilst we are poor the officials are pretty poor too.
We really need a clear out as some players just aren’t offering anywhere near value. Our line speed both in attack and defence was laboured and we are back to having the ball move along the line but everyone’s stood still so we make no ground.
The thing is I don’t even know why I’m surprised as it’s just a common occurrence.

Well seems the same group of players have reverted back to type, a fair few quality players missing, but bad habits creeping back in

Too many errors and poor discipline. Line speed not consistently fast anymore.

Too many players not running into the ball with momentum, the difference to us and saints in this was night and day. Lane, Cator, Mau, and more catching the ball stood still.

It's alot of silly little things that all add up and give us zero chance at the moment.

Brown, reynolds, Vulikajapani, Sao and Satae had a go. The rest 5/10s for me.


When you say Sao had a go, do you mean had a go at conceding a penalty every opportunity he got? He was a liability tonight.

I can't fault our effort. We started poorly but did well to grind our way back in to it. The yellow ultimately took the game away from us. We must be the dumbest team in the league though, and ball in hand we had nothing. Reynolds tried his best but he's got nothing to work with. Our movement off the ball is non existent.

We've got a 7 who can get us in a position to score, but not actually pull the trigger.

Reynolds tries, but we need some more options. Connor can't come back soon enough.

Can we have Roby for 12 months before he retires? We're so desperate for a 9.

Forwards again laid the platform, but we have no finesse. It's crash, band, wallop, kick. Then try again

Some senior players let us down tonight, Fonua needs some time out I dread to think how much cap space he is taking up.

I'd be reluctant to renew Ma'us contract too, I'm sure we could get more 'bang for our buck' esewhere

Thought we gave it a real dig tonight. Farimo scores and who knows. Saying that Saints better team. Scoreline cert flattered them though. Thought effort was outstanding. With a few returning soon we can still get in the 6. Thought the crowd where good tonight to.

20 min to go we had fought our way back into the match. Partly due to the ref and our own Disapline we lost. I can't believe the constant knocking of players. Have you lot ever played the game? Yes we are going through a rough patch. But we have players coming back. We had 7/8 out tonight. Let's behind the team. But hey ho some will just reveal in it all. I know we have problems. I know we have players who are not good enough. But FFS give it a rest. Rant over

We lost by 32 points at home, and Coote missed 3 conversions.

We've had sloppy standards for years, 'trying their best' and still being miles behind isn't good enough. All teams get their injuries and issues, Saints have just returned from Covid and all the disruption that brings and barely got out of 2nd gear.

I honestly don’t see where the next win is coming from.

I fear it's going to be a head in hands job tonight. Hope for the best but fear the worst. Like the Leeds game I will select record before I set off but most likely will press delete as soon as I get home. God knows how many times I've done that for home games over the years.

Even with the likely defeat I just want to see a bit more variety when we are are in good attacking positions rather than wait for the predictable Sneyd last play kick option.


Done.
