Us missing those chances has sweet FA to do with our playmakers being missing. We'd already made the breaks. I'll give you good defence on holding Wardle up (but the chance had still been made) but the 2 Marshall kicks were sitters by his normal standards. He nails that kick time and again and, if anything, the 2nd one last night was easier than most of those he's nailed. Farrimiond was in acres of space in mid field. A little dink towards the posts and it was a walk in.
I also think you're missing the fact that we had 1 half of our half back pairing spending much of the game having to cover for no hooker which would clearly impact on our attack which was still considerably better than yours.
And you need to read RedVee if you want a one eyed opinion on the referee mate. Or just read your own post. All the wrong decisions were against Saints were they? Really? I mean...really?
Not very effective obviously, but when the pack is there we spend the majority of the game camped in the oppos half so it has less of an effect generally.
As for the kicks, you also have to ask why he felt the need to try and attempt a cross field kick instead of going himself (he's very fast) or passing to somebody close by. I'd say that's down to what was very good, desperate scramble defence. Without that, its a simple inside pass and a try (like Welsbys)
But I was never trying to say our attack was effective, I was contending your point that you didn't see us as much of a threat as Wire, due to our attack and then used last night to back it up, but our attack not being effective didn't stop us winning in 2022, or winning the majority of our games last year etc and last night goes against the grain, generally, from what we are used to, which is playing most of the game in dominant field position.
As for the decisions, you've just made up what I've said and argued against it lmao. I never said all the wrong decisions were for Saints. I said he missed a lot and gave an example of one that was big and I gave another example that I said I thought he got right. I just had to laugh at somebody saying they thought we got the rub of the green

Agree 100%, he’s great defensively at FB but was a speed bump against Catalan at magic last year.
If Farrimond need taking out the fire I’d consider
1 Field
3 Eckerlsey
6 Keighran
7 Smith
Keighran played loads of 6 last year

| Was it last year at Magic where Field played 6 ?
Had an absolute mare but to be fair I don't think anyone covered themselves in glory that day.
FB all day long when he's back

It was and he was poor but like you say, so was everybody else and it was a really poor run of form for the side around that time. I do think it will put paid to any chance of him playing there, even in the short term but it's worth considering, especially if Eckersley continues to play as he did last Friday!

Whilst I wouldn't necessarily advocate Field at 6 he was absolutely awesome there for a couple games including Leigh away last year. The problem is his defence in the line. He's probably the best 1 on 1 defender in the league from fullback but can be suspect defending closer in.

| I think Jai is judged pretty harshly off the back of that game at Magic, he had 1 game against Leigh at 6 and ripped them to pieces, then had a 2 month injury layoff and came straight back in against a very good side on a hot day when that entire right edge struggled. I do think he's better suited at full back in defence and attack, but it would be harsh to totally write him off based on that game.
