Why? More missed tackles than anyone on the pitch. In fact 9 missed tackles would be ridiculed by anyone in any day and age. You had to go some to have that record.

Southstander logic in full effect right here.

Leeds lost their first 3 last year.
Wire have lost their first 3 this year.

So If I was to go looking through your posts from this time last year I'd see you predicting a top 4 finish and there'll be no talk of middle 8s or relegation?

Saints have lost to Leigh and Wakefield in the last 2 weeks, their fans are in meltdown. What makes you think they're going to make the top 4?

Again not listening. The only relevance this season to last is the corresponding fixtures, those are clear. Saints started poorly last year anyway, but don't know if they lost to Hull KR and Wakefield last year, but know they beat us just like this year.

who cares about any other side. we can all see this leeds squad is substandard. will finish above halfway? very much doubt it.
either way big changes are needed

Just seen now they won all three last season, where they have won only one this season. So therefore dropped four points. They finished fourth by two clear points last season, so therefore they currently have a win to make up.

By the way Warrington lost to Cas at home last year, but scraped wins at Catalans and Salford.

Wonder if we won any games in 2016 that we lost in 2015?
Comparing fixture to fixture just doesn't work, as you've just proven.

BTW, I don't for a minute think Wire won't make the top 4 either but it's got nothing to do with comparing this year and last.

Possibly, and may well be a valid point. But the only thing relevant presently is the repeating of form. Like I said, beat Catalans next week and we have a change, a change the majority expected in doing better than bottom four this year. Get beat, and we simply repeat last years results, and bottom four form.

Actually just looked, and not one single fixture did we lose in 2015 that we won last year.

For McDermott, this is definitely a must win game, but unless we get some troops back upfront we'll definitely struggle. Catalans are a big side all across the park and I can see them dominating us if we don't up our physicality. On a plus side, Luke Walsh is a huge weak link in their defence.

Win lose or draw Mc.D's time is up imo.

it was up a while ago. a long while ago

It may have been but GH doesn't seem to be too bothered so I can't see him going any time soon.

All the senior people at the club are buying into the injuries and that is what is being spouted by the likes of GH

I thought GH was more astute to be honest. surely he can see what everyone else can see
