For me the pack just isnt performing to its potential.

The names in our pack make it look superb but, just like in the GF, it was out performed by a perhaps more modest list of names who shared the workload, played as a team and showed more determination to win.


We looked lost for go forward whenever we had one of TP or Grham of the pitch.
On about 65 mins, Soliola made a hit up shortly after a kickoff and flattened the first tackler and it was the first time I recalled anyone running with any venom all night.

Our bench is weak. If Clough and Perry retuned that would solve that, but we'll still not beat the like of Wigan and Wire if we play like we're scared of them.

We looked lost for go-forward full stop, whether Jammer or TP were on the pitch or not. In the first half especially. I don't think we were up for the fight.

According to todays League Express.
Magennis made 24 metres and Ashurst 7 metres.
Coley made 157 metres and Prescott made 108 metres.

Deary me. That is pathetic - they should be ashamed of themselves.

Yep, the should. But it just goes to show how they are just not ready. We need Perry and Moore and Clough in there.

How about Roby and Graham?

Roby 142 metres Graham 110 metres.

Roby is still impressive given that there were zero quick play the balls on Friday. Graham has dropped a good 50m this season compared to last year.

Quick play the balls, Saints 4 - Wigan 4, from the same League Express stats.

I could trip up coming out the tunnel and make more than 7 metres

Did we have the ball in attack whilst Ashurst was on the pitch????

He dropped it on Wigan's try line after being flattened by Coley. Don't think he touched it again after that

I think it was cruel to put him out there, actually! But we had no choice given our lack of Moore and Perry.

Why? He's far more experienced than, say, Chris Tuson who played for Wigan. I'd assume Ashurst has made double Tuson's SL appearances.
