Quote: The Chair Maker "Personally thought we were quite patchy in our performance.
Wire were dire.
I think a more structured team like Wigan or Huddersfield would have got upto 50 or 60 points against them.
Saints seemed to spend part of the match show boating, trying to entertain rather than trying to win. End result is you make daft mistakes.
As predicted our pack looked strong, and to think we had players like Masoe, and Clough sitting it out.
Our main weakness seemed to be on the Percival, Swift side. It got stretched a few times.
I think when fit we will continue with Amor and Walmsley starting, then after 15-20 mins, Lafranchi will come on the pitch for Walmsley, then on the 30 min mark Masoe will replace Amor.
I also think Hohoia should be on the bench ahead of Wellens, who seemed to just be making up the numbers when he came on. Lance would add an injection of pace when teams are tiring.'"
I thought we were patchy, but I don't want to be too harsh. It's never going to be slick the first game in. Last year Huddersfield scored a few more points than us and people where saying it was a hell uva beating.
So yes scrappy and probably heavy under foot, but I'm happy that as a team we are solid defensively. I get what you mean about Percival and Swift, but I think they upped there game as the game wore on.
