If Saints played good football and had good yoof (compared to Leeds and Wigan) coming through, that might be true.

The whole thing was a shambles. The only time we made any progress was around the ruck as it was under Royce, Rush and KC and we still have no cohesive structure or gameplan. Huddersfield looked so good because they executed well, but they got into those positions by following set structured play, controlled and led by Brough and Robinson. We just didn't seem to have any idea what we were meant to be doing in any given situation.

Manu brought his own level of chaos as he trying to show everyone how good he was and totally failed.

I'd be very interested in hearing Brown explain how they approached the conditioning side of the sport this pre-season. The players just seemed to have no power, they reminded me of athletes that have been doing nothing but fitness work. The likes of LMS, Wilkin and Laffranchi seemed painfully underweight and just got smashed about.

I thought we looked very good in our first set of the match ...

You can't play an offloading game on the back of slow PTB, and that was evident last night.

We spent the majority of the game on our goal line, so to offload and pass the ball in that sort of position would have been near on suicidle. We need to focus on the basics before we look to play an expansive game, and until our pack decide to pull the finger out, we won't be playing that style of rugby any time soon.

We needed someone to roll up their sleeves and run into a brick wall. No one fancied it early on and it set the tone.
James Graham would've.
Nick Fozzard would've.
Maurie Fa'asavalu would've.
Paul Anderson would've
Darren Britt would've.
David Fairleigh would've.
Apollo Perelini would've.

I've stuck up for Perry a lot, because I think he has ability, but for a ex international prop with a hardman image, he's having a laugh.

Watching the Saints / Huddersfield game reminded me of how Leeds looked for the first half of 2011. It was McDermotts first season and he had us throwing the ball around like it was a hot potato. Defensively we had no structure, we turned over possesion for too frequently and conceded far too many soft tries. However, by the end of the season we managed to climb back up to 5th and beat you in the Grand Final.

Basically, all I mean is don't panic, stick with it and I'm sure your team will come good in the end.
