| When the hype has finished and all the trolls have had their say, the gloating is over and the "we only post when things go wrong" Leigh posters have gone back under their bricks.
How do you think the game went today?
(trying to get a bit of normality back)
For me it felt flat - dunno why, it just didn't feel like a critical game

He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well.
He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]:White Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif |

| We had a great first half 34-6 but lost the second half 16-18 maybe the team give up trying to get in the top 4

Apart from a 15 minute spell we were awful. No disrespect to Swinton, to see them break our defence down with ease was embarrassing.
And our ball retention was abysmal
And the atmosphere was flat because most of us were on the Fev and Fax twitter feeds in fact thinking about it maybe the players were as well

| Got to say we currently are the ' dumbest ' team i have ever seen at the club
I did think that perhaps it was our previous coach that was the problem last year , but I havent really seen any improvement under Purtill

| Very weird game - I guess it was overshadowed by what was going on elsewhere. Very disappointed with the performance which probably sums up the season - good in patches and terrible in others. The fact that last week Featherstone put 60 past Swinton and only conceded 4 - away from home, is a good indicator.

TBF - KP has got us out of the rut that we was in under NJ,and the only games we have lost since then have been against Toronto (twice) not counting the CC,But i agree that the improvement has not been to standard high enough to get excited about.

We play dumb , to me that is the coaching , I was very happy to see KP get the job , but I am doubting he is up to it

Yes, i do agree Steve,especially at this stage now,but also thank him for turning it around after NJ,but yes it's painful to watch at the minute with the dreadful defence.

Thing is how many of these players would purtill have signed ????If purtill would have been in charge before all the changes were made we would have made top 4 and would he have got rid of 17 odd players

| I think KP has done a good job with the hand he was dealt. He inherited a team in disarray and just about dead and buried. One of the worst teams in the league with zero team spirit and confidence when he got them, turned into the second best team in the league. I think we need to rethink our halfback pairing, and rebuild our pack. I do not think we need a new coach.

I'm with you VL. I don't think any other coach could have done any better with this squad of players. Some of them had (or may have had) a reputation in the NRL, but all bar one of the overseas' signings have proved a disappointment to me. For my money, and with the wonderful benefit of hindsight, we went wrong in pre-season, when we didn't change our coach (with all respect to NJ) and when we changed too many players - including some who knew what was needed to get out of the Championship.
Funding for next season is going to be a problem so, if possible, I would try to sell some of our higher earners, (if anyone would have them!) and recruit very carefully for next season. There, sounds easy, doesn't it?
