Thanks DB. I've seen some FTA games in the past, which were fine. Must a been gremlins at play at Odsal last week. I'll try to be less of a tight wad when it comes to the Hull game (but will take the offer price rather than full whack pay on the day).

Where is the logic whereby you throw a young lad in on the first game of the season against tough opposition but then don't play him when the opportunity comes to improve his confidence and show what he can do?

As for Thewlis, don't get me started. If I was Powell I'd be emailing the likes of Wrench, Dean, Doro etc. and telling them to sit tight, keep your heads up and things will improve soon.

Price always does things about face.

Against a big aggressive fast flowing Cas team he starts Danny Walker over Clark and puts Ashton on the bench with only 2 forwards.

Then against a smaller Championship level pack in Leigh he starts Clark and completely omits Ashton and goes with an extra prop. Bizarre.

Overall I've enjoyed Charnley's time at the Wire and I know that we are left side centric as far as attack is concerned but what the hell is he playing at?

Swinton's try was a bit of a dubious grounding I thought the lad spilled it but they probably deserved their bit of good fortune and they won't be the only ones fancying their chances down that side.

Did anybody else pick up their comment about watching GI doing a fitness test on the field before the Chris Hill testimonial game? I can’t remember which one of them said it but it was along the lines of him ‘being several weeks away from looking fit enough to play’.

I think the coverage was good. Will use again.

It is strange because Charnley has been a consistently good performer for us, but his lack of pace is now starting to show and combined with the number of dumb errors he has made to date he is not doing himself any favours, especially at his tender age.

The more I see of us, the more I'm glad we won the relegation 4 pointer with Leigh last week...

You can't take anything from Swinton's excellent effort today.
I was very disappointed with our handling skills today & we still have this habit of throwing wild passes to nobody in particular. I live in hope that there is a master plan in place whereby all our handling skills & ability to score on our right hand side. actually make an appearance sometime this season.

For some 'perspective' I saw Saints struggle to put a 12 man Leeds team to the sword over 35 minutes, in the second half, yesterday - doesn't make them a poor team does it ?

Team selection three games in, it's just baffling.

That Leeds team with 12 would of still done better against Swinton than we did, is it me or are we just arrogant at times against other teams.

Same as ever, reckon we’re going to win so don’t put the effort in - no killer instinct. It’s that ‘we’ll be there or there abouts’ attitude from the end of the Smith era that Price hasn’t managed to expel.

I don’t think any other teams will be losing sleep about their upcoming fixtures against us in the coming weeks.

I wouldn’t call it arrogance. We’re just a poorly coached team probably the worst coached in the league. We have nothing up our sleeve in terms of attack apart from 5 drives and a kick to King therefore it’s not hard to defend against us.

Thanks, Smiffy
