Gale won't be missed that much,but Kearney,that's another matter.

Simple,don't give Walsh any room to dictate play and get in his face.

We look clueless going forward once again. Not good.

Where has the passion from last week gone?

No doubt the coach will take some positives so here is mine. Next year's season ticket will be cheaper !

The passing from the teams at half time was better than ours. Don't think I remember a team who pass as bad as ours (that's when we do pass) Just awful!

Dire x 100

Pretty dismal afternoon. Came up against a very good Saints side but we don't do ourselves any favours. You can't expect to compete with the better sides when we gift so many opportunities to attack our line. Badly missed Gale and BK in attack, I don't think we even came close to scoring other than the solo effort from O'Brien. The injuries aren't helping us either but we are where we are I guess.

The appeal will make or break our season now for me, the sooner it is heard the better. Least we will realistically know where we stand and plan accordingly for the future.

Dire performance. Another game lost is another game closer to the Championship, players should take note with 2 teams less in SL you may not get to play in a SL team again so i could well be Championship rugby for you as well.

I know it didn't effect the result but how bad are
cummins use of interchange? In 60 minutes, used one interchange apart from O'brien for Diskin. He then brought George on for Kaufusi on 60mins. He then brought Mellor (who played well last week) on for for last 3 mins.

We lacked leadership and direction without any of BK, Gale or Diskin on the pitch.
I'm assuming Diskin picked up a knock as he never came back on the pitch after his first stint.
Gaskell is far more effective playing at FB, so hopefully Gale is ok for next week.

A disappointing performance, but realistically not a game we were ever going to win anyway.

We need some bodies back desperately. It's going to be hard enough as it is to pick up wins from here onwards, but without Gale, BK, Nas, Fakir, Ferguson and Donaldson it's pretty much impossible.

To be fair there was little point in risking Diskin once it became clear that the result was only heading in one direction. It'll be another Giants walkover next week though without some bodies back in the pack though. Obviously we will be without Kaufusi who has shown up well for us.

The problem is that we don't seem to try against the top teams. What they don't seem to realise is that as well as the two points on offer it is just as important to put up a good display to get crowds paying at the gate.
