Big gulf in class. Better in every department (including the coach) with half a team out.

Agreed. James Graham would be a god send right now. Is George Burgess available? Oh wait...

Overplayed a lot tonight, right side defence was non existent, but it was refreshing to us trying to throw the ball about a bit.

A million miles off the top 4, but what did we really expect?

On a plus note, Merrin was outstanding, tackled everything that moved, and Donaldson grafted his knackers off again.

Didn’t help that Ava didn’t come back on

Such a wasted opportunity again

Donaldson is a Trier. but he is simply too small and ineffective

Must have been a bonus for offloading tonight.

The worse and moronic the better the bonus.

Last couple of games we have steadily applied pressure, built up a head of steam and gone for the kill.

This week? Pretend the ball is a time bomb. We couldn’t live with them once they upped the gear. Put ourselves under pressure and looked gassed after 10 mins of 2nd half. Bar the late “rally” where we even in Saints half that second period?

Strange how Wigan & Saints’ youngsters step up so easily, and they have so many ready to step up. Our youth system is appalling considering the catchment area. Maybe it’s been rectified recently, I really hope so. Wigan have quite a few forwards ready for first team action, they take their chances and bust a gut when given the opportunity. There’s so much catching up we have to do on the ‘rugby’ side. What’s Dean Bell up to these days?

When you’re struggling and losing games you start thinking players aren’t trying, when really it’s a lack of quality. You start favouring ‘triers’ like Donaldson, like we did with Hulme in 96.

Odd just having one prop on bench (again) - compounded by Ava going off early doors injured. Thought Peteru ran hard for the limited minutes he got on the pitch.

Thought Leeds looked a poorly coached team reliant on miracle offloads and give-it-to-Konrad.

Coach and scrum half are the big priorities I’d say.

Well done to Leeds on the guard of honour by the way, touch of class.

I thought we looked light on the bench tonight. Donaldson as usual tackled everything but we struggled with getting into them.

Yep agree.

Coach, Scrum Half and another good prop.

Well done saints though. Terrific team. Big big blow losing your coach though.
