Quote: LFC Saint "Are making me sick to be honest.
Won't get a better chance than that to reach another grand final. Game was win and once again saints come up with a brain fart.
Brain farts in this side have been apparent for years now more so than other clubs imo the reasoning is we have no true leader out there. Leaders cut individual mistakes and brain farts imo. I honestly believe that.
Holbrook and the club now have a decision to make do they want silverware next year ? If yes then changes are needed as Holbrook clearly doesent trust Theo, Smith or Richardson. If he doesent trust them now he never will that means people need to be moved on. Trent Hodgkinson is available from the NRL.
Goal kicking ties in with the point above. Percys goal kicking has cost us a few times this year his percentage for the year is poor. A top scrum who can kick goals wins us games.
I'm obviously pointing out our faults for tonight but the same faults have been there all year. It needs to be addressed if we want silverware.
To cone that close is gutting it's not heroic and it's not brilliant it's gutting and nothing more. We have lost and that is that. We could win every game next year and get thumped in the semi, won't get a better chance than tonight and they blew it.'"
To many stupid mistakes in key parts of the game. Yes we can blame Percy for not kicking the goals but the was other factors.
For me the key moments -
1 ) It's criminal to lose the ball off the kick off and be 6-0 down after 52secs, you can't do that in big games.
2) Losing the ball in the last min of the game to give cas the opportunity to score. If we take that kick then we win the game.
3) The Ryan Morgan penalty in the last min of the game. The dumbest bit of play I've seen all year. It was 100% the correct call by James child and I honestly can't believe he did that.
4) No direction in golden point. We was all over the place. We lost all composure and I blame Smith. He said he's here for his game management, then he needs to look at Luke Gale. He was directing everyone for that drop goal and look at the room he had on both attempts compared to our scruffy rushed attempt. The difference in golden point was they had a proper number 7 and we have probably the worst 7 in super league.
We got to credit the players effort, attitude and heart but mistakes like that are killers in big games
