Don't say that mate St Pete doesn't like it. Edit your post quick.

Think tonight was the first time I have heard Tasi''s name this season. Invisible man.

I think the fact Kelly has left the field has influenced the game in the 2nd more than our players and KC tactics

We'll find out when you play us next week.
I'm hoping you edge this one so KC is still in charge!

Better 2nd half but we are playing a Hull KR team already weakened and then further weakened with loss of Kelly

+1

Bottom line is we scraped a win by 5 tries to 4 against a depleted poor side, and we still let them go the length and score in the last two minutes.

Let's not let that mask the issues here.

Next week against Castleford will be our best marker of which direction we are going improvement wise, just want an exciting game with full commitment.

Absolute joke of a team

Normally I would be quite happy to part with my money to watch them but if the club cant be bothered then why should I

It'll be interesting to see how we'll look when Lomax is back in the team. He's just the creativity we need, taking on the line and running off the shoulder of Walsh. Roy mentioned Hull KR being depleted but with a fully fit Lomax, Percival and when he finally chooses to play him 'Fages' in the side, that's 31 points tonight would be 40 at least and suddenly you've got a comfortable victory instead of a slog.

If that's all Saints can muster against our injury riddled side with only 2 interchanges for the whole 2n half and no recognised playmaker either I think you're screwed. Plus a couple of decisions that could have lead to you have a try disallowed for a head high tackle and Shaw's being given we would have won. Be worried.

Roby was excellent for you when he came on, really got you going forward

I'll admit I'm more interested in how my Kabbadi side, the Jaipur Pink Panthers got on in the Pro Kabbadi League than I was in Saints.

That game tonight was unwatchable and the standard was truly shambolic. Hull KR are a shadow of themselves because of all the injuries, but had Albert Kelly not gone off they would have probably won tonight.

I can't wait to see how next week goes against Cas. There is a real danger that if they play like they did against Hull that we'll be blown off the park. But if we manage to win the next two, we'll probably be in a very pretty position in the table. Perhaps I'm overstating the impact of how poor we are, the standard of the competition seems to have taken a huge step backwards over the last few years.

The performance tonight was criticised by Carney and he was bang on, tonight was poor. The players are so static in both attack and defense. They highlighted it at half time, the team just defends like a garden fence, they spread out and stay still, it's a worrying sight and I think we could be on the receiving end of a true hammering this year from someone if we don't improve. In attack it's much the same. Whenever we have the ball there is usually only three players who move, the dummy half, the player he passes to and on occasions if that's a halfback the player he then passes to. The rest of the line are static. One of the things most noticable about the NRL sides was the numbers of players in motion when they had possession. They really put the effort in to giving options to their hooker and halves and support the ball carrier. The forwards have options to pass before the line and support if they get an arm free or make a break. We just go literally one out so often it makes us incredibly easy to defend against. I didn't watch too closely tonight, but I can't think of many clean breaks tonight at all. We scored twice from kicks, one from a dropped ball where we were lucky to not concede at the other end. The other two were incredibly basic barge overs from close to the line that were very soft tries.

I just don't know where to go first however. There is so little right about us, where do you start trying to improve that?

Conference called at langtree for tommorow morning at 9am. Eamonns acknowledging Keirons fantastic achievement of winning at Hull KR with a new 10 year deal.

This team and club is pathetic at the minute. I've totally lost all my love for them. Usually a season ticket, both jerseys etc... This year it was the Roosters ticket and that's me done.

Given our shocking record against HKR and an admittedly poor first half I thought the lads showed tremendous character to turn the match around and in the end win quite comfortably.

Not sure what people want. With that wind blowing through the ground, low confidence and a vociferous home crowd shouting for anything I'm not sure throwing the ball around made any sense.

Sure, we can play better. But you only need notice the difference in the side the moment Roby came on to know we've had some problems filling a full compliment of playmakers. If Lomax can get back in any kind of shape and we keep McDonnell and Roby fit we'll pose a lot more problems.

ATEOTD it's a better result than we have been showing at HKR in years.
