I wanna be........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74728.jpg



With their 17, and then losing Albert Kelly, we'd have done well to have lost last night.

I found the team bizzare. Bringing in Greenwood and putting Turner in the centres for the Roosters game, the best team we will play all year, to then change both the week later just seemed crazy. Turner is an okay runner, can boot the ball downfield but his passing with anything over 2 yards is embarrassing. Dawson had a good go but KC needs to swallow his pride and get Turner back at centre and Fages or Burns at 6.

With the ball in hand i thought we were okay. In the first half despite the scoreline we seemed almost ambitious with the ball at one point which made me uncomfortable as i wasnt used to it. Second half we steamrolled them in the forwards and Roby brought out the best in those around him. I have no problem playing the type of forward game we played in that second half as it was effective and well carried out, we even ran in pairs!

The defence throughout was a farce really. Wilkin missing 6 tackles, Peyroux 5 and Vea 5 or 6 (haven't got the stats up at the minute). Kelly looked like opening us up at will and we'd of struggled if he'd of stayed on.

I thought in terms of positives the back 3 were excellent. All made decent metres (166 from swift!) and all got at least a try or an assist (Makinson andd SMD with both). Walmsley and Amor brilliant as ever.

Defence needs to be miles better for next week but that's 2 points we haven't had for years. Hopefully the defence tightens up next week the attack keeps improving as i believe last night was slightly better.

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: The Yellow Giraffe "Seeing as you picked up on my LMS comment, I've been consistent with my opinion on him. That has changed because of one or two games; I've never really rated him and I think he's a liability.'"



I picked up on a few different comments from across a variety of boards, it was not aimed at having a go at anyone specifically.
My point is more around the venom which we seem to be laying into the team gets earlier and earlier each year.
Only 2 years ago we were champions
last year we came close in 2 semi's and probably would have made the final if it was not for one player in sinfield.

The other point is we seem keen to be harsh on the team but after a good win against Huddersfield who people were tipping to beat us before a ball was kicked, there is a smattering of praise before the doom and gloom sets in about the next match.

It's a forlorn hope and I'm as guilty as anyone, but I just wish we could be a bit more positive as a set of fans.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time - "You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more" Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif



Quote: bewareshadows "I know it's not been up to standard, but we are 3 games into the season and we have won more than we have lost.
Lets not go OTT.

LMS was getting praise off fans last year for his efforts, the possibility of Savelio going to Warrington had saddened and other fans beside themselves in indignation, swift was a possible for being shown the door, Burns was great in his first 7 games and was going to be even better when Walsh came back. Wilkin was a saviour carrying the club when we had no halves etc etc.

You can't buy and sell players week to week like some fans would want (ps fans also at the same time want commitment and loyalty from these very same players)

Now LMS is a waste of contract, Savelio was over hyped (by whom??), Swift is the new Tommy Makinson and can do no wrong where as Tommy is maybe not what we need.

I'm all for wanting better quality and better results, if someone has had a dire game (ie Walsh v Salford) then yes we want to give them grief, but the way we react you would think we are playing this as a computer game where if it's not going well you can simply restart all over again.

Players have bad games and some times a run of bad games and deserve to be dropped, but the league is not won or lost in the opening 3 games.

As fans we seem to be very negative about the team, plenty of posts pre-match and post match if there is criticism to be given. But if there has been a win, like against Huddersfield the boards and threads go very quiet, both here and on Redvee.

Are Saints fans on these boards the new prawn sandwich brigade? I think it was mentioned elsewhere that we are living in the past, constantly harping back to some glory years. But even in those years we got turned over by the likes of Hull and Salford. People just forget the bad losses.'"


We was boring as hell last year to don't forget. You can get away with be boring if you want trophies like Hanley did but if you play boring one up rugby and don't win, then your in trouble.

Quote: Simeon Stylites "What does not having a rugby brain mean in this context? On the face of it, it's an odd description of a man who's made a living at the top end of RL in this country for more than two decades.'"


OK. His tactics are same every week, we play one up boring rugby no matter who we play . We have no set plays, we have no structure and lack ideas which comes down to coaching.

Doing it in the pitch following Instructions from very clever coaches like Anderson and Millward like KC did is much harder to put these plays and structure in place as the coach has to.

It's one thing carrying out instructions thought out by your coach but it's a totally different ball game getting your players to carry out your instructions etc
