| The problem with Saints, is heaping all the organisation and playmaking onto Lomax, without a snifter of support for him.

| The Saints pack is pitiful. Time and again yesterday they were absent when needing to make the hard yards. No platform or field position for the backs to play.

| It doesn't matter what backs you have if your forwards are on the back foot all the time. Wigan have bullied Saints forwards in every game this season.
But don't mock just yet, as it may come back and bite us.

The pack weren't too hot yesterday, but in general it's not the pack that is at fault. In the previous defeats to Wigan we spent tens of sets in their 20 but couldn't convert. The LP game in particular we had enough possession, territory and field position to win several games. We're just not a threat anymore so never turn territory into points like we used to.

| Could Gaskell become the new full back? Could he play the Slater/Tomkins/Ratchford/Eden type role? Where is he anyway?

thing is though we still beat you at your place didnt we?
Salford beat us at our place last season. In one game anything can happen and the quality of a team should never be judged on one or even three or four games. It's over a prolonged period where you judge how good someone is.

| The 'new coach reaction'period is well and truly over
In my opinion they should have stuck with Simmons till at least the end of the year as they are now just in a nothingness until Brown starts at the end of the season.
It's a mess and surprisingly so, this is Saints we are talking about

I agree. Sacking Simmons was ludicrous. In the games Saints didn't win when he was in charge it was in close fought games with a try or two (or merely the odd point) in it, in all of those Saints had the chances to win and it was a knock-on or penalty given away that scuppered it. I don't recall them being bullied for 80minutes and dominated over every blade of grass.
Saints have been slowly declining for a few years. You don't lose Sculthorpe, Long, Gidley, Gardner (to numerous injuries), Cunningham, Eastmond and Graham and expect to be the best team over the season every year. Saints have some excellent replacements but they aren't of the same quality as what has been lost over the last three or four years. So when you think about it Simmons was actually doing a good job with a team not quite as good as it previously was. Simmons has coached at the highest level; these two in charge now haven't ever coached adults at any level.

Not really; since Rush and Cunningham took over Saints have beaten every team they have played, including us and Leeds away, apart from Wigan. Usual drama queens on the Saints board making a crisis out of a lost game.
