| I saw that from Millward and he's clearly spouting his usual rubbish. I did agree with Jamie Peacocks comments though about until we win games when the pressure is on it's difficult to say the Giants will win any silverware.
The issue isn't talent (although we clearly need another HB and there's always room for improvement) but more mentality. The big games we've won (Saints semi, Warrington play-offs) are when we've been underdogs. When we've been given a good chance of the winning a big game (like we have on Friday) the players don't seem to have the belief they can actually win - Warrington QF being a prime example.
I think Friday's game is massive. We have to win this game if the players will have an confidence they can do anything in the Play-Offs.

I agree that the Giants need to learn how to play well in pressure games consistently and the game is massive in terms of mentality to go on and win some silverware this season.
I'm not sure why they need for another half back though? They're the third best offensive team overall (home and away) in the league, 11 pts behind Warrington and 8 pts behind Wigan. The next best is Leeds and they're 131 pts being the Giants.
Interesting stat: The Giants are the third best attacking team away, but Wigan aren't in the top five for attacking at home. Wigan do, however, have the best defensive record at home with the Giants having the second best defensive record away.

I thought wigans forwards looked decidedly ordinary at the weekend- we need ours to step up and run and tackle their hearts out, don't allow them to turn us in the tackle and quick line speed. Not a single person to be feared on their team bar tomkins - and even larne can out manoeuvre him!'"
Seriously ?
What a stupid/daft/idiotic post.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Interesting stat
That could be because Wigan have played less games at home than any other team.

| I think we neeed another HB for strength in depth - if Danny or Robbo gets injured or don't play for any reason it's an inevitable re-shuffle. Yes Wood gives more options for us but I think we definitely need greather depth in that area as well as competition for place - I'm another who thinks Robbo has been below his best this year and maybe some competition can help that.

True. Wigan's defensive record is still pretty impressive with that in mind though. The Giants will have to come up with some special plays to break through.

I agree but this still leaves us short. Wood or Brough get injured and you're bringing Robbo back in leaving just Lunt at hooker (unless PA believes someone from the Academy is really ready to step up). I really think a top quality HB is essential for us to move forward but there aren't many of them out there and 90% of SL are looking for the same thing. We need Brough, Robbo, Lunt, Wood plus one other.

think it will come down to the salary cap and how much we have to spend, these half backs dont come cheap!
