I know they haven't played, that doesn't mean they aren't a loss to the side.

Would you rather have Mullally and Walters starting or Galloway and Ferres?

But most of our tries were conceeded on the edge where the backs defend, some people holding off and others jamming in, Cas wont score so many easy tries all season.

Forwards decide who wins the game, and back decide by how much. It's always been the same even though the game itself has changed.

You were commenting on the improved defence and quoted players that had no influence on the so called improvement that's all.

Personally I don't see any improvement as Thursday night showed - just the quality of the opposition gives that illusion.

he never gives his opinions sal, just pulls people on theres.
has he answered what should happen with the coach yet?

Quite correct, but it does not excuse the fact most of the team did not seem to be bothered at cas.
Contrast that with Wakefields performance at saints, the Wakefield lads put in a real shift and fully deserved to win. Just going off thread slightly, I think saints will struggle this season. They don't look good at all, it's highly unlikely they will win at hull next week. So the knives will be sharpened for Cunningham ,which is a shame as he has been a stalwart for saints over the years. For it to end on a sour note would be sad.
That's why I don't want sinfield to return to the club at this difficult time.

I've just finished watching North Queensland Cowboys v Canberra Raiders this morning, what a great match (won't ruin scores for anyone but get it watched if you've got access to Premier), comparing it to the e that was served up on our opening match this season by us and saints, I'm so glad the NRL has started this weekend.

I agree Galloway, Garbutt, Ferres and Ward would have had a huge impact on the game but the reason Mac has to go for me, is the fact his decisions are borderline shocking; picking Handley over Briscoe, not getting the best out of his players, players just giving up.

[iWe're looking good on the defensive front and have clearly spent a lot of time on it, perhaps too much and not enough on attack.

If our attack does start clicking and producing it's going to look like us in 2015[/i.

but he never said that. he says

[iYou know what an apt answer to a question asked of me would've been? If I got the chance of answering it instead of you chipping in with your long held problem with me trying to point score.

HTH[/i

Nope, that's not actually what he disputed and you know it, don't you? If not then you need to stop blindly believing the 2 biggest liars on the board Tad. It's not a good look for you.

Speaking of which... Sal, you never responded to rlthis postrl where you were once again shown up to be a bare faced liar. I'm just posting the link for you in case you missed it as you seemed to disappear very quickly after I posted it. The season's barely 3-4 weeks old and you're already been caught out at least 3 times. Sad really but it's nothing new.

That was one decision i can understand.
Sadly, I feel that Briscoe has been really under par this season.
It didn't come off this time but the result was hardly Handley's fault.

I think this is in reference to the question I asked. Still awaiting an answer.

I am not trying to get involved in what is clearly ongoing disagreement but genuinely wanted to know where the line was for him regarding the coaching position and how long he should be given.

You are right about briscoe, players can hit poor form but briscoe does not look interested. If he wants away he should ask for a move and go. Watkins also seems to be lacking motivation, maybe they all have had enough of Brian mac.
Perhaps Brian can no longer motivate players. Wane seems to inspire wigans young guns. Unfortunately most of the discussions and arguments about failure seem to end up back at Brian mac. Perhaps Brian it really is time to go.
