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.

same team that won the cc a month ago or did you not see that

Same team that would have won the league had it not been decided to sacrifice the London game in favour of a victory at Wembley.
Fans as well as players must keep their bottle !

Saints deserved to win.
Their defence was awesome - ours wasn't too bad I thought.
We couldn't handle Soliola though.
Also we bombed 3 chances.

Both us and Saints made plenty of unforced errors -too many.

Don't agree that 'rotation' had any bearing on this match - unlike a few on here
We missed Carvell, Westwood and Harrison, but we've got to be able to cope with that.

I also think that Saints gameplan worked and ours (not sure exactly what it was) didn't.

No complaints from me - even though I'm hacked off we lost.

High five to Ritchie Myler for his laudable efforts in dealing with Soliola , but disappointing that not one our forwards really made much of an effort to help him out.

54% completion 16 errors & 9 penalties given away , enough said

SHEESH. I only heard the game on the radio, but I didn't realise we were THAT bad.
We need to buck our ideas up, fast.

I'd been looking for the stats, Christ almighty.

....and one of SL'S most successful coaches has decided to reward them with new contracts.

So, who's Rugby League nous do I chose to believe in, in relation to player retention......

Tony Smith, or somebody on a web site
