Quote: Offside Monkey "Saints have some very good forwards when looking at them as individuals/on paper, that's why we roll over lesser teams so easily. The problem is our application at the moment against teams that combine game plan with an increased motivation.
I've no doubt that players in the saints squad would be perfectly capable of swapping into the wire squad and performing just as well as your guys. Your club's just in a better place at the moment on the field.'"
Absolutely what I was saying, minus my trademark baiting and sarcasm naturally
Our forwards are playing on the back foot every time in the big games due to the sorry mess our team selection, coaching, organisation and tactics are in at the moment. They have been made to look a bit second rate against Wire and Wigan each time this season because of it. But swap most of our 10 into the current Wigan and Wire setups and they'd look like worldbeaters. Put Carvell and Westwood into the current Saints setup and they'd look like one-dimensional one-up plodders.
