Reliability is a real issue here . Wheels needs to play 6 on the bounce for Bradford or dual reg before we consider him again I am bemused why posters appear indignant that he is not included. He made his debut in 08 and has barely played 50 games. If your car was that reliable you would have sold it long ago . He doesn't deserve to walk back into team without proving fitness over a sustained period in games. Not disputing his ability.

| Ok I'll chuck my 2p worth in.
Wilkin at 6 for me was not wise. Should have played Wheeler, surely he could be drafted into the 19 once Lance went down.
Walsh has looked a little ropy since he has comeback from injury.
Makinson is bloomin marvelous this year. Swift is not doing to bad.
Dawson was a bit exposed but I would not blame the first try on him we were majorly outnumbered.
We were sloppy that first half in many aspects, the kick off just emphasied that.
Wellens does bring something to the team, his tackling and his direction are what we needed at the start of that 2nd half.
Jones was a real handful in the 2nd half at centre and it's going to be tricky for Percival to just walk back into that spot. He will have to wait for the Widnes game now.
Walmsley was a bit sloppy, he just seems to be too big for the ball, I know there were hands in a couple of times, but he has to secure the ball better, it undermines his hard work going forwards.
Roby (I'm going to say it) a few errors are creeping into his game, not sure what it is but at times looks less effective. I'm not saying terrible, but can we not rotate him for at least some matches.
Turner was starting to look a little predictable with the flick pass, but he did learn and start holding the ball more as the game went on.
All in all we showed real determination and effort to come back in that match I think Cas fell of a little, some of it from us, but some of it was sloppy passes from them. I wonder if the players from cas felt it was all sowen up at half time and took their foot off the gas a little and where unable to apply it the same again towards the end.

Whilst we blew it today,it needed a special saints effort to comeback and win it. Easter is a big time for us (as for most teams) and I feel we need 2/3 to kick us on. Anyway top game.'"
This is the attitude that gets teams to the top.

| Quote: SaintsFan "I hate it when they bring a bad attitude. It's disrespectful to fans and opposition. They didn't deserve to win tonight.'" I was very perturbed when LMS was laughing and joking about Wilkin's drop from the kick off.

I think the cameras showed that to be something it actually wasn't. What I think happened was Wilkin dropped the ball, a Cas player made a comment to which LMS gave a retort (probably witty) and Wilkin laughed. You can see LMS is talking to somebody behind Wilkin rather than Wilkin himself.

Makes sense, the Cas lads were pretty on-the-spot and may well have given Wilkin a mouthful. Obviously Louie's retort was a goodun.
