I was thinking earlier what team I'd least like to face as an opposition fan against Saints. I'd certainly be moving Swift or Makinson in to full back. I'd also be looking to get Greenwood in to that back row because I think he's a great talent. Against the big Aussie packs I'd look at getting Savelio in at loose forward to add some size in the middle. Finally I think Wilkin should be in the halves. He picks and chooses his games but I'd be far more confident of him producing something in a big game then I would of Burns (I'd put him in the pack to add some aggression) doing it or Fages.

The aussies scored some good tries ?

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| Quote: Dux "It was a painful weekend for SL, but one from which it can learn. Obviously there are plenty of deep-seated reasons why we have an inferior competition, and they're going to take a hell of a lot of working out to get right. But we can pick things up that will help to improve us. The thing that jumps out most obviously from this series is the way the NRL ballplayers have multiple options on pretty much every play, even when the play is a simple hit up. It's a pretty simple thing that we've obviously lost sight of in this competition, but it puts considerable pressure on defensive decision-making (pressure that our sides weren't able to withstand) and makes it very difficult for teams to commit numbers into tackles. If Saints can take a lesson from that and start running in twos and threes then the whole thing will have been worthwhile.'"
Totally agree.
If we want to grow as a sport then international fixtures are the way. With France being decades away from having a competitive league the only option open is Australia.

I think the 3 Oz teams said they had built the event into there training patterns and the weather wasn't much of a problem. I should imagine its easier to train at a constant 80 degrees then play a game at 50 degrees, than train at a constant 50 degrees and play a game at 80 degrees.

| Oh dear. After all these years and the obvious failure of the Salary Cap it still has defenders on this board. You couldn't make it up.
As for Saints at the moment, you are a very average side but the standard in SL has slipped so far that with better coaching I think you could be in with a real chance of winning something. Thanks to the SC you don't have to be good to win a trophy. Not sure I understand the despair on this issue, just replace KC with say a talented young Aussie assistant coach looking to prove himself at head coach level and you'll be ok.
