Get a grip people, you've simply hit a temporary bad patch at the wrong point in the season.

But I must admit, it raises a smile to see listed as a positive "Lomax caught a high ball whilst running backwards"

feck me, whatever next? icon_biggrin.gif

Dont think it's that simple mate.

It's not just the results, it's the lack of gameplan, lack of motivation, lack of organisation, lack of ideas, and that the players seemingly couldnt give a s*it.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG

Mate, i'm sorry to quote you again but look further into the game.

Lack of game plan - Could be that we are trialing new things, Pryce certainly played 30 mins at Loose last night...

Lack of organisation - As above with Pryce, Long is only in his 3rd/4th game back, Arnold moved from 6 to full back on a few occasions.

Lack of ideas - rolled up into the above two points.

Lack of Motivation - Last night wasn't the biggest game in the world, added into we'd had a big game last week, people may have had on eye on the playoffs.

Stop worrying, we'll come good!

I'm certainly optimistic Dave that , seeing as I won't be going to OT due to my wedding bash, I won't be missing Saints lifting the trophy icon_smile.gif

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg



Quote: tm - tl "Lack of game plan - Could be that we are trialing new things, '"

But flippin eck, should we be trialing new things at this time of year? Surely the time for trying out new moves (ha!) etc went about six weeks ago? We need to be secure of our moves and our positioning in order to maximise our potential for the playoffs surely?

Granted, had we been playing with a full squad 6 weeks ago!

Given that we weren't then we need to leave new moves alone until next season. Experimenting now is the wrong time to be experimenting, if experimenting is what Potter was doing on Friday night.

icon_wave.gif I've thought of a positive! I've thought of a positive!

We may have lost our record against Hull KR and Catalans and our two year domination of Wigoon this season; we may have played the worst rugby league I've seen in a Saints shirt in donkeys years over the last few months; we may have lost the Challenge Cup and the hubcap and the chance of a new bathroom ...

But there is one thing that hasn't changed.

There is one enduring success story.

Warrington still haven't beaten us, home or away!!

Yay!! A positive!! k020.gif

I knew you could do it! That was the first step, now keeping thinking about that and more will come to you....

What about the game time and experience the youngsters are getting..........Eastmond and Emmit icon_smile.gif
