I disagree on this. Yes, it was a stupid pass, but other than that he was hitting harder than his teammates and was making tackles that his teammates were missing. It's sad that players who are far more physically equipped than him to play in his current position can't show the same guts.

Wellens tried everything he could in attack and defence. He certainly wasn't the first to throw a miracle ball, and it's just what had to be done, it was do or die at that point - and at least he tried (more than some)
It's hard to say anyone can hold their heads up after that. Individually, Mose did some good things, Walsh did some good things, the rest were wasteful or invisible at best.
It is collectively we are seriously in trouble, line speed is dire, aggression is none existent, structure is pretty much the last word I'd use to describe us in both attack and defence. On top of that, our conditioning is very poor, and the tackling technique is below amateur. We just can't seem to show any motivation what-so-ever.
Bitterly disappointed in that performance isn't the word. We have a collection of players who i know can play 10x better than that, but any sort of must win game and we capitulate like a stack of cards...

| The comparisons between Wane of Wigan and Nathan Brown are to me that Wane is a
Wiganer through and through,talks and acts like a supporter,and then compare him with Brown who to me looks like he would be rather on Bondi Beach with a few tinnies...

Wellens is not the problem. He was spot on.

| For me its clear, Brown has zero passion for Saints at all.

No, he's just one of many players who speak a good game.
Is Jon Wilkin going to be on the SL show this week?

| Quote: Saddened! "Something along the lines of, "I'll have to watch what I say [Fumes] That was absolutely pathetic. We had a good start and everyone was telling us how good we were, but I thought we only ran well for about 4 weeks and since then it's been pathetic. That effort wasn't good enough, you've got to turn up all season to win Super League and we've not done that again, weve got a good fan base here who work all week and pay their hard earned money but that was a pathetic effort".'"
I watched Paul Wellens comments after the game & I spent the whole interview face palming.
He was brutal about his team mates, he showed his passion for RL & Saints. I know Saddened thinks Paul is way past his best before date, but tonight Paul really impressed me with his honesty & passion.

| I think Brown might go. We've been pretty dire for weeks now. Today we didn't respect the ball, threw stupid passes and had poor discpline which Warrington capitalised on. Simple as that really, too many passengers and average players in that team.

| Maybe what Saints need to do is start focusing on developing their youth players, look at Warrington with Rhys and Ben Evans, Ormsby, Laithwaite plus talented youth from other clubs like Russell. These players have the passion in their team that you are looking for - you can't just buy big names and expect success. We tried that for years and there was a guy on our forum called Rogues somebody who always told us that we had to start bringing through our youth and it seems like his way was proved right today. Saints need to start following the way of Rogues else they are just going to stay forever in the shadow of their local neighbours.
