| Tonight was probably the worst performance I've ever witnessed by a Saints side. I'm sure someone will come up with a few, but I'm struggling to identify one. Wire were more than there for the taking, at 14-0 they were fully bent over, shorts around ankles, eyes closed in resignation of their fate. I've never seen the HJ so utterly quiet, literally didn't hear a peep until they were 10 points up, such was the lack of belief they had that they would win. You could see from the reaction of their players as well that they expected an absolute hammering and were surprised it was so easy.
Wire were little better than us tonight, short of all of their decent players, but they wanted it more. They wouldn't have beaten anyone else in SL with that performance tonight, laughable at times yet comfortably better than we were.
If McManus still cares about the club, he should be thinking about refunding those that attended the game tonight. That's how poor it was, how pathetic it was.
Keiron's reign of terror has not only destroyed the last 2 seasons, but the recruitment during his reign will prevent us being competitive for the next few years as well. It will take many an off season to improve this squad to the point we're back in with a chance, yet that deluded fool still believes we've got a squad capable of competing.
Makinson - Back on wing, keep
Swift - Terrible player, hands like a penguin, release
Morgan - Bang average, release
Percival - Class, help to move to the NRL for his sake
Grace - Give him time
Fages - Not good enough, release
Smith - Awful, release
Amor - A decent squad player but always dominated in big games, keep (Just)
Roby - Sad to say, but he's finished, next season will be his last, keep
Walmsley - Class, keep
LMS - Gone backwards rapidly, release
Peyroux - Should never have been signed, release
Wilkin - Missed him tonight, but not good enough, release
Knowles - Play him 13, keep
Douglas - Slow, lumbering, lazy, release
Walker - One of our better players, keep
Lomax - Finished, release
Taia - Blows hot and cold, another absolute shocker tonight, keep (For one more season)
Richards - Not good enough, release
Thompson - Battered tonight, but one of our better players, keep
Lee - Horrendous player, far too slow and unacceptable distribution for a SL hooker
Owens - See above but replace hooker with player and distribution with every facet of the game
Just what on earth is Holbrook meant to do with that lot?

| Funny how Matty Smith is always the scape goat when times are bad. He wasn't the scapegoat on his return from injury this season and kicked us all over the park and commanded the game. then again, during that game your forwards were steam rollering our pack which allowed your backs to do whatever they wanted.
How you expect Smith or Fages to do anything with that team when your pack gives up after half time is beyond me. Watching the game back its only Makinson, Roby & Smith who were running round screaming and playing like they wanted it. He used to cop the same treatment from the blind pie species when their pack rolled over an all. Wire fans have said the same about Gidley but when he plays behind a solid pack he looks like a super star. Matty has one of the best kicking games in the league but its hard to kick when youre put under the defensive pressure we showed on Friday.
And as for Luke Walsh, well from a neutral outsiders point of view he was a poophouse of the highest order. In one game he made 5 tackles and has tackled twice. Wow. He was only there to kick. you're far better off without him.
The team you put out on Friday was basically the team that hammered us at your place. We just ran that little bit harder, tightened up our defence and got a few lucky bounces from errors caused from quick line speed. Nothing more nothing less.
