| Very unexpected. You normall see a Brown team start the season so well. Complete reverse in his first game at Saints.

You'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the season and as for writing Manu off after one game.....surely not! The guy is a class act and will be a good player for Saints.'"
No, he's not. He's the sort of player the Sky commentators get excited about because occasionally in a televised game he delivers an offload resulting in a try. But if you look at his contribution over 80 minutes, he is prone to crucial errors which cost rather more games than he helps to win. Like Francis Meli, but in the pack.
When we signed him, I thought it was a terrible move, but lots of people got excited, so I thought maybe I just hadn't seen enough of him, and so was willing to look again. But tonight is exactly what I expected from him.
But like I said, tonight wasn't just about him. There isn't a man in a Saints shirt tonight who can hold their heads up when drawing their pay. That was appalling.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| i expected to see some Wiganers , Huddersfield and Wire etc coming on and living it up after that performance, but come on we are not going to take ourselves apart after 80 minutes of a season.
It was a very bad day, nothing more.
If we go on as bad a run as Royce then there will be a point in bagging the players, but one match does not create a run of form.

The only time we lost by that kind of scoreline in all the months Royce was our coach was at Hudds when we had to field 11 u20s players because our injury crises had become so bad.
At no time last season did our losses under Royce extend by more than two tries, and we always scored at least one. And for three of the losses we didn't have Robes playing. Apparently he was playing tonight but aside from an occasional run he was swamped by forwards who actually knew what the role of a forward is and were willing to do the work. Unlike our forwards, who have been poor ever since Jammer left. Correction, they were poor when Jammer was here too but he did their work as well as his own and so we didn't see just how poor they were until he left.
I left the game when it got to 0=36 as I wasn't going to put up with freezing my bits off watching the worst performance I have ever seen from Saints. The lot of them, plus the coach, should be embarrassed by themselves.

86.jpg Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| Saints were made to look poor by a dominant pack, like the one that Baloo played in at Odsal in there pomp. Whether this is a false dawn or not we will see but at this point I'm happy to see the forwards gelling and making space for the HB's.
Simple RL but highly effective.
As for NB, good luck with him, no bottle in big games. Cannot fire his teams up

| It's Round one. That's all. Any team can have a bad day. Saints will be fine. One victory or loss at this stage of the season means absolutely nothing. Let's see what happens when you come to us in a few months' time. Will probably be a totally different story then.

Don't wanna say I told you so but "I told you so" don't think Saints fans realised what we had to put up with playing guys like Faiumu, Ferguson and Gilmour at prop, Anderson could see straight away we were getting bullied cos 2 lightweight.
Not gonna gloat about the result but better than I feared by about 40 points!!
Early days and you won't play that bad again however don't be suprises to see Manu on wing next week and Wellens at stand off with Hohia at prop.
Said before your welcome to Brown cos he ain't the world class coach everyone keep telling me he is.

Nah that wasn't it. Yes, your pack dominated ours but that happened last season too and the one before because we have weak and lazy pack. But for Saints it was a whole team effort. At least under Simmons we could scramble defensively. There wasn't even the effort there to be bothered with that.

Some of us didn't think he was. We weren't all drooling over him you know! I was one of the cautious ones, and I'm still cautious. I know we don't have much in the way of players these days either and they have a lot to answer for just as they did with Simmons this time last season.

| I just hope it was a bad day at the office. Sometimes you get them games and I hope it was on tonight.
I must say, I'm concerned about things I seen tonight. They destroyed us in every department.
I didnt like seeing the forwards doing the ball handling, we ain't the Canterbury Bulldogs. We lacked ideas just like last season. The forwards looked like some have gone a season to far. Halfbacks looked poor like season. The list could go on.
