Hohaia
Swift
Jones
Shenton
Makinson
Wheeler
Gaskell
Lms
Roby
Laffranchi
Soliola
Wilkin
Lomax
Hohaia to full back must happen now. Move Shenton over to the left centre role see if it can bring about some improvement. Wheeler to move into six with Gaskell pulling the strings at 7. Unfortunately not much we can do with the front row. Use wilkin as a ball playing elusive running second row. And shift Lomax into loose forward into the way in which hudds use Kevin Brown. None of this will happen but if Nathan Brown was coaching us now i could envisage a similar line up.

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg |

Attitude. It's something I've been harping on about all season. I don't like the attitude of some of our senior players and I think that attitude is simply most clearly seen in Wigan derbies, when fans notice because those derbies mean the most to most fans. |

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

No one disputes the tactical flaws within our game. But attributing a victory to Wigan [isolely because of coaching[/i is pure speculation. Are you saying that had Saints taken the field with Greg Inglis, Billy Slater, Jamie Lyon etc. their prodigious abilities wouldn't matter because Wigan's tactics made success inevitable - regardless of the opposition?
Seriously, have you READ anything I've said? Please point out my criticisms of the front row (or even the pack).
I didn't mention Hohaia. As far as I'm concerned he's still adapting to our game. It is not unusual for imports to take anything up to a year to adapt. I should point out that Finch hardly took SL by storm early in his Wigan career.'"
No but at least Finch Is a natural half. Hoahia has never been and never will be one.
Were treading water playing him there. Ive absolutely no doubt that Brown wont play him there. |

Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.:Transparent Backgrounds/Kermit%20the%20Frog.gif |

Brown has publicly said he doesn't see Hohaia as a HB. |

I was just trying to nice, put a positive spin on what is a dark era for tuther side of the lump. Seriously though, Wellens always, usually, has a good game playing against Wigan and I particularly admired him for coming back after he got his cheekbone smashed. Think it was his first game back with the a ball bobbling all over the place. Looked at first that he'd jibbed but he dove at the onrushing attackers feet, risking the same injury, when he could just have taken his time. Takes some courage that.
