Are you aware that Saints had 3 players on International duty and were without Soliola, Fa'asavalu and Wilkin who are first choice players, plus 2 players who would have come in for them were injured then Wheeler went off injured in the 1st half?

The players on our bench last night have a total of 21 first team games between them. One was making his debut.

We have used 29 players this season.

whats that got to do with anything?
we had brown,lolesi,whatuira,aspinwall,raleigh and horne missing all of whom have been regulars,plus drew and finnegan, i dont see what point your trying to make?

Hard game I thought last night.

Thought Saints kids stood up well as both teams were missing key personnel.

Nothing in the Meli tackle from the live viewing for me, willing to retract if proved wrong though.

In your previous post you made the excuse that had you not had injuries to key players, you would have won the match. That was countered with our own injury/absentee list, which is at least as impressive as your own. So in other words, injuries can't be used as an excuse for your loss. If anything, what you had on the park should have mullered us because our stand-ins were young enough to have little meat on their bones and your lot are huge. However, I'm thankful that you weren't on top form because had you been, it is likely we would have seen that mullering that all our fans were anticipating.

Incidentally, vocally supporting the team when they were in most need of support is exactly what fans are supposed to do. We made plenty of noise last night. Stop criticising us, we'll stop pointing out your poor away support.

As for the Meli tackle: the RFL will sort it. All I saw was one of your players go down as I was standing at the other end of the pitch so I can't comment on the tackle. But if Meli did commit a high tackle, he'll be punished for it in due course. I hope your player is ok. He took a long time getting up.

He was referring to injuries to players during the game, not availability of players for the 17. Bit of a difference losing 3 players during the game as opposed to having a few players unavailable for selection.

This is brilliant, coming from a Huddersfield fan, absolute comedy gold, fantastic stuff.

Stood near the Meli Tackle last night, started off with a shoulder charge to the chest/shoulder area and ended up as a "big hit", there was no initial impact to the head, your man just got knocked out.
Can,t understand why the touch judge came on to be honest, it was a "ball and all tackle" small bloke against big bloke.

Seriously? You think that the officials should play on whilst a player is knocked out?

For me Friday showed one of two things.

Either

1 Brett Hodgson is past it and Warrington have made a massive mistake in signing him.

or

2 He isn't trying very hard or is injured yet again.

I would go with one. Hodgson to blame for at least two tries and the ball steal was a disgraceful error. I just don't think he is up to a game every week any more.

I think the point he was trying to make was why the touch judge interfered and told the ref to give a penalty (FWIW The ref had a great view and didnt react at all untill he saw the man stay down). Stopping the game for a serious head injury is of course a given.
