Have you got money on Briers returning to Saints or something?
He'll finish his career out at Warrington then join our coaching staff. You could offer us a few quid I suppose but the tables have turned in that regard. You'd be better off giving your young halves a chance and replace your (finished) full back.

Wigans pack was again dominant, the four Saints props in particular barely made any ground and were put on their backside far too easily. Soliola lost his rag in the first scrum and Wilkin was non existent.'"
we had plenty of possesion, and in your half, but could do nothing with it. yes some of that was down to good wigan defence, but more was down to a much less structured attack than yours. Lomax and Lance looked out of ideas from the off

| Lance could be a devastating runner which is why it bothers me he doesn't take the line on. Against Wakefield he took the line on once and made a break, he did it once as well today and nearly scored. He just needs to run a bit more and would be more effective at Full Back. The same can be said for Lomax with regards to effectiveness.

It's not often I post I here but you talk utter tripe. I sit in amazement at the rubbish you post. You've become a laughing stock on here.
Rant over
What did you expect from rush? He was left a complete mess to sort out. The players had no confidence, we was on our worst run ever, to many young players being relied on and I just couldn't see where the next win was coming from.
Rush and KC have come in and restored some confidence in the team but what can they do in 2 month with the mess Simmons left us in?
He's brought in lance hohaia to play stand off which was a horrific idea. He's brought in boof to play prop when he's a backrow.
The problems stem from the Simmons mess and IMO rush and KC are doing ok sorting out the Simmons mess until Nathan Brown arrives.
Your constant championing of Royce Simmons and lance hohaia is laughable!
Royce Simmons is the worst coach we've ever had fact!

| Time for a change to get rid of our predictable play, Gaskell @ 7, Wheeler @ 6, Lance @ 9, Roby @ 13, with a bench spot for Lomax. Stuck with the pack we,ve got.
Might as well try a few structure changes because top 4 is a bridge too far at the moment unless there is an implosion of the top teams.

I don't think Gaskell and wheeler would work. Wasn't that the halfback pairing at Bradford?

What? I posted utter tripe when I responded to Pete's post by stating a fact? The fact is, Simmons was sacked two months ago. Or is Simmons still coaching us? I missed that memo ...
So, troll, go back to your idiot friends under the bridge.

Correct.McManus may have built a new stadiun but he ahs allowed the great team of 2006 crumble and recent signings have been sub standard to say the least

Agreed.
Rush and KC are Inexperinced but they not pretending to be first team coaches. Their boss asked them to do a job and they are doing it as best they can. (better than Simmons)
Some players have got the wrong attitude and I'm sure Nathan Brown won't stand for that.

However, that is what they are and so they have to take responsibility. They aren't children.

Glad you agree with me. After all, since you are obviously a keen reader of my posts, you will know that I have been saying this all season long.
