No logic in playing Bridge in the halves none what so ever. He hasn't got mindset or skill set do that job.

No, but if you tell a lie, long enough and often enough, people start to believe it.

It's £1:30 for a loaf in the shop by mine

He was never a half. He played loose forward for Golborne Parkside through all juniors (beyond a couple of weeks at fullback), our halfbacks were the Wigan scholarship scrum half, and the Saints scholarship fullback played stand off for us. So if he played all his junior rugby in the back row, was signed as a backrow and has continued to play backrow...he's probably not a halfback.

As much as your current halfbacks (2 of G'OB/Patton/Myler) are pretty ordinary...they are halfbacks. That is more than can be said for Bridge or Ratchford.

Sounds like Verbal Kint describing Keyser Soze....

Thanks Saints#1

I say it once again for the umpteenth time...

Unite Ratchford and Bridge at halfbacks.

I'm fully aware of how poorly both of them played this weekend.
Bridge struggled with no support play or creativity from Patton, who was completely out of his depth.
Bridge only had his defensive play of some credit but I never buy into this common rule of "defence win games" well it doesn't..,attack wins games!!!

Ratchford carried the ball too loosely when at FB which I don't like. He isn't in the game enough. He doesn't have a controlling role. He has the no6 on his back because he is quite simply the best hb we have on our books.

Remove the little men from the head of our attack and put Ratchford and Bridge back together. It was successfully our only consistent pairing.

It's hard for me to take any encouragement from what we saw v KR and I too say where do we go from here. I almost don't believe what I preach but it is the only combination TS stubbornly refuses to put together.

Given who was available last night ratch shouldve been six and penny at full back. Say what you like about penny but he would've brought enthusiasm, pace and have cleaned out sio rather than ambling across like an idiotic Mr cool. Still no idea why penny doesn't figure given his early season form.

You know you're embarrassing yourself more than ever by blaming other players for bridge being last night, I'd like to say it's shocking but it's not whatsoever.


Aside from 3 poor kicks straight to Dixon and sio which you also pilloried Patton for, bridge was the invisible man last night.

I can't answer for the condition of your eyesight FMC, but I'll repeat briefly for you.....

Bridge was totally lacking in ideas, his credit was his defence and that's about it. Patton was completely lacking at all levels. Ratchford was so far out of the action he got changed at the KC stadium.

I completely agree. KR had their Penny type player at FB, Dixon, I don't need to remind anyone of the damage he did to us.

Penny was doing great for us at FB, he just needed more time in that position. I'll say one thing, penny was better than Russell there.

My eyesight is fine, so much so that I've seen 3 posts from you since full time saying bridge was poor BECAUSE OTHER PLAYERS LET HIM DOWN.

If lessons are to be learnt Duckie needs to go back to school.

"Bridge struggled with no support play or creativity from Pe of "defence win games" well it doesn't..,attack wins games!!!" (RD)

I have to disagree with you FMC. Since the KR game that statement with the typo....Pe that was meant to say Patton. That isn't what you quoted. If you eyesight is fine then I cannot answer for your short term memory.

Bridge has been crap for most of the season.Let him have his testimonial then get rid.
