Um, which youngsters are you talking about? There was Gaskell, Lomax, Dean and Ashurst out there last night. Unless you include Moore as well. Dean was a turnstile, it has to be said, but Wellens wasn't much better. In fact, none of them was. None of them could tackle last night. Lomax worked hard though.

Damn right it was, which is why it is so annoying that we didn't even bother competing much less trying to win.

He's right though. There just wasn't any urgency or energy in the side. Even in the 2nd half when we had the majority of the ball, we didn't play with any real speed. Too many players just didn't turn up to play. It was a really poor performance.

Can't believe all this slagging off of players and coach as we go through this transition period compounded by one of the worst injuries situations on record.

Can't believe no one has mentioned anything about Ian Smith who always referees us in to this type of non flowing anti rugby game, we only win 1 in 3.

Can't believe people thinking the Catalans should be beaten by any side we put out, bottom of the league, but these past 3 weeks they are playing with form.

Think you should all get over it, we lost, we move on and support the team and hope we get our best 17 ready and in form for the play offs.

I didn't expect to win last night, all the signs was there for a loss.

I bet he's never left a Saints game before half time like you did that time at home to Hull KR a few years ago. That's at least 2 faces you've got.

You're on form this week.

Cheers, I've found my mojo. Don't start with any United stuff.

Good summary.
I presume you mean Lee,and not Dean and Gaskell because I thought Dean was his usuall self.

Rubbish. We had three players of note out last night. Three! I doubt anyone expected us to come up with great creative moves given who we were missing, but I'm very sure that most of us expected a team who could pass, catch and tackle and who could actually be bothered turning up to play. No way did our three missing players justify that pathetic performance or our coach's dumb interchanges.


Because we all know Ian Smith is crap and making the ref the excuse is pathetic. The team should not have been so ill-disciplined as to get his attention. But they were so they handed some try-scoring opportunities to the Dragons on a plate and then couldn't be bothered attempting to stop the tries. They even hung around while one Dragons player trotted under the sticks after crossing at the touchline. I've seen kids play better and with more enthusiasm.
