| Quote Ron="Ron"Maybe time for a new coaching team if we don't win the challenge cup or fail again in the playoffs. Tony Smith has had more than enough investment in the playing roster, and the team seems to be going backwards. Yes we finished second in the league, and are in the CC final, but the competition this season has been poor throughout, highlighted by Hull winning the league and getting to the CC final, they aren't a particularly great team in my opinion.
Not sure, just think with the time he has had, he has failed to take us to the next level. Still think once Wigan get a few players back from injury they will have the better team despite having a poor manager, why is that...
Maybe the whole league just gone backwards as others have said and I am expecting too much, I shouldn't expect our backline to be able to execute simple moves near the opposition line.'"
Yes it has including the Saints team which whilst playing much better now is far from top notch. I still think it will be you vs the goons in the GF. |

| Quote ninearches="ninearches"Last night should have been our best chance for years to beat Saints at home ,but they have improved massively in the last few games since i watched them against Widnes & they certainly came to spoil our party.
Not mentioning the apparent lack of the application of the offside rule to Saints, they really beat us with basic rugby, fast play the ball & players supporting the ball carrier so any player could throw passes with confidence knowing a man was on his shoulder. LMS as a dummy runner for the last try was sublime & Luke Walsh controlled the game with his kicking.
On the other hand, once more we seemed to be throwing wild passes with abandon ,allowing too much ball to go to ground & allowing an opponent to make too much yardage on sets of six. We really need to work on a plan to score tries from close quarters instead of just being good at scoring from 30 yards out.'"
After the match he said he didn't know he was the dummy runner and was cursing Turner for not passing it to him.  |

Just watching the saints game, I've been away with work thus week, And just had the opportunity to see the Hughes 'incident' if you can call it that, I was waiting for Bentham to call held, he started but petered out part way through, now If that was a wigan tackle, that gets another five seconds and then someone comes in on the legs AND they then about on the floor.
Tackle wasn't held, was nothing wrong with it. Can't believe they got a penalty. Penalty should have been against scarsbrook

Saints are getting away with murder in the ruck, the penalty against hill for walmsley falling over was a joke considering some of the muggings Wilkin has done after ending up on the wrong side of the tackle

Saints played the ref better than us. They knew they could take the pace out of the game, and starve Clark of chances.
Hate to say it but the crowd influenced it too. The Walmsely dive was terrible, but the crowd won them a penalty. At the other end, that wouldn't have been given.
We need to wise up. Sometimes the successful teams aren't the best at playing rugby, but the best at playing the game (conditions, ref, tempo etc)

In spite of that Chris Hill needs to smarten up his tackling technique as he is consistently being penalised - and presumably is now one that the referees look out for. |

Just reading TS comments in league express regarding why Lineham and Penny are not playing, he says it's down to form. Ok fair enough but here is were I get confused as he says Evans, Russell and T. King are playing well. Well I'm not one for questioning what TS does but did he actually watch the game on Thursday what did he see that King done well, I'm confused.

The use of the word "form" can cover a multitude of things why air your dirty washing in public if there is any of course? Also a non confrontational reason in the press gives everyone a chance to sort themselves out, no burning bridges, no being frog marched out of the club and if that is the result not frog marched out for a desperation fee? |
