I agree with you he's exactly right.

NO HALFBACKS = NOBODY TO DICTATE AND CONTROL THE PLAY

If McManus leaves we don't have a club. He is a wind up merchant who I have been unable to take seriously, EVER.

I was chatting on Twitter to a friend of a friend, who happens to be a Broncos fan. I asked him if anyone had impressed him today from our team:

"No one really stood out apart from Hohaia, who looked a class act. Walmsley has impressed me previously. LMS was sh*te"

That new contract for LMS is looking better VFM after each and every game lately.

I'd love to have a conversation with whoever makes these decisions on contracts and hear them try and justify giving that clown a new deal.

Some of the decisions lately completely baffle me.

Did we lose another player today, was somebody carried off the pitch.

Swift

We could have played Forster today, a prop with at least some Super League experience, but no Saints decide to give a debut to one of our youngest props and pack Forster off to Rochdale.

How did Thompson play?

Considering Thompson reportedly played well, I don't see your point.

The most disappointing thing about yesterday for me was the amount of errors, and we are talking about basic mistakes that shouldn't be being made. Once again, we picked up three injuries - a couple early on, and that took it's toll towards the end. I haven't read all the posts on this thread, and I'm not going to, but people seem to forget just how bad the injury situation at the minute. What I will say is that we are conceding the same stupid penalties week after week after week, and although you can't fault the effort and application, you can't expect to win games on the back of the indiscipline we have been showing.

London aren't a good side, but they have a set of forwards who work hard and run even harder, and Craig Gower had a field day on the back of that. We looked absolutely clueless on the occasions we found ourselves in decent position, and once again, the lack of a Half Back was evident. Lance Hohaia needed a huge game yesterday if we were going to pick anything up, and once again, he didn't deliver. As I say, you can't fault the effort, but we needed the senior players to stand up yesterday, and unfortunatly for us, they didn't. As I say, we lost three players once again to injury, and although it's good to see so many young players out there, we have far to many out there at the minute.

On the plus side, Sia Soliola and Paul Wellens were immense in my opinion, but you can't expect to win games without a decent set of Props and Half Backs. People can say what they want about Wellens, but he has really stood up this season for me, and leads by example every time he pulls on a pair of boots. I am not saying he deserves a knew contract, because he doesn't, but if the likes of Hohaia and TP gave half as much as Wellens does, we would be in a difffent position that we are in. A club legend, and rightly so.

Don't you think that the club would go out and get a HB if they could? It's obvious what the problem is.

That suggests one thing in terms of the cap IMO.

Yesterday was bad, I was glad to have made a day of it!

No.
