| I've been a big critic of the performances and KC this year and I make no apologies for that.
Tonight showed a lot of guts from the forwards, completely dominating Wire and a great game from our two HB's with the ball. The backs of course were pretty useless in attack and defence - example the Currie try.
However, we played to our strengths only and never really let our backs near the ball. Having said that I though McDonnell and Dawson both had decent games.
With a 8-3 penalty count against us, our game management (until the last 5 minutes) was very good.
Without decent backs, and if we stick to this game plan, I'm reasonably optimistic about our game against the Cats. At the very least the team's confidence will be up.
I don't mind losing if we aren't dumb and put a real effort in like tonight.
I'm unsure about how much the team's performance was down to KC or just the players though?

| Quote: Saddened! "We were class. Bossed it throughout I thought. Only some weak defending at times stopped that being far more comfortable. Theo was absolutely outstanding, completely bossed the game. On that evidence he's a stellar prospect, playing like a veteran. Walmsley > Hill, Fages > Gidley tonight which were key battles.
How overdue retirement is old Ben?'"
Happy days Saddened especially given you have been bagging the team and Cunningham!

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 |

| Well for me its looking like a very competitive league.
10 games in and Saints are well in the mix of teams jostling for position.
In the next 2 games we could be on equal points with Wire at the top or down at 8th with Wakefield.
Shame I had to miss the last couple of games but it's shaping up to be an interesting season to say the least.

Its very much lose a couple of pivotal players or half backs and every team fails to function. Leeds, Huddersfield, Cas, Widnes and now Wire struggle without there key player, Wigan keep on winning because of there structure. I can see the league table for 2016 showing up with more loss games than previous years, might only need 18 points to qualify for top 8.

Saddened's pessimismometer has just exploded.
