I dunno. Stop the daft passes in the middle of the park. And handle soliola better, I think you've got. A different game there.

I actually thought we defended very well in the first half.

We bombed atleast 3 tries Sts should of had one chalked off, could of been alot closer but it just wasnt our night and our passing was awful, reminded me of when Sts last came here.

If it was a home league game against Hull or Huddersfield next I would be confident but its the Playoff and our record in it is a joke.

Saints played well, not great but more than good enough to beat us comfortabley. We had a bad day at the office and we all know we can play so much better than that. We now need to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down, and prepare to do it all again next weekend.

The chances were, and still are, that we will have to play Saints twice. Obviously I would have prefered to win them both, and I accept that we may well lose them both, but if we are to win one and lose one I would much rather do it this way round.

Saints were poor for the first 30 minutes just too many mistakes.
We cut those out in the second half and win easily really .
What is it with the playoffs with Warrington ?
Will you ever win a championshio or ever get to a grand final ?

I think your team is too old as you seem to tire at the end of a season and in the last 20 minutes of games.

You need to promote and PLAY more youth , keep them in the team !

Yeah, we just need to promote the youth like Saints do, like Wellens, Gardner, Meli, Hohaia, Perry, Laffranchi, Flannery, Puletua & Wilkin...

We got our pants pulled down and our bottoms spanked,by a Saints team which wanted the win more.

How old do you think Riley Atkins Ratchford Myler McCarthy Hill and Cooper are (with Harrison to return)?

We need saving by Super Benny Westwood.

And the rest of the team in pivotal positions are over 30 !

It is simple why you lost. You lost the forward battle which meant that you backs were ineffective

So it's a good mix then.

Age is not the reason we played poorly yesterday.

I think Sia was the game breaker.

Saints had a period of the game sat in the wire half, we kept turning the ball over or gave relieving penalties. Warrington got good field position from these up to the point where Warrington scored their try. Don't forget Meli almost gave you another one, if it had not been for Jones, you could have been 12 - 0 up.

However, as luck would have it Jones was there and Sia came on just in time. Your defence was just as good as ours but Sia is one of those players a bit like Cunningham in his prime, if he is going to go for the line it's going to take a lot to stop him at speed at that kind of range. All teams have players like that, who can not gaurantee, but have a high % chance of scoring, when up against firm defence.

The loose carries and knock on's continued for both teams really, but sia again took full advantage, rather than just diving on the ball to make it safe.

After that we really did not look back and Sia and TP kept the intensity up from our forwards with some bone crunching tackles.

I'm hoping you don't come out of next week as you don't become poor over night and the next time it maybe a lot closer.

Disappointed and hungover.

Roll on next week to right the wrongs from yesterday. Keep the faith.

ISWT.

Correctamundo !

The Meli non try at the end due to foot in touch not seen by Silverpud on his big telly sums up the evening for me.
I get days like that, but unlike me Warry get to put it right next week.
