A lot of peopel are. and there will be a lot more when they get from tonight's game, he was dreadful. Rather than Mellor, though, I'd prefer Sam back at #6 (and with better studs!)

I'd agree, Sam back to 6 is the best option. Just pointing out that Mellor's performances have been outstanding albeit at a lower level. I wonder what he has to do to get an opportunity when the team is under performing and the current halves don't seem to be working effectively.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

You are an idiot, I said he wasn't the only one who played bad AND he wasn't fully fit. Note NOT because. There's a reason I ignore you and I've just remembered it, bye bye troll.

So what if he wasn't fully fit? You must have had a reason for making this comment?

| my mate watched finch a couple of times when he was in oz two and four years ago and said he didnt rate him that much then,he also watched hoffman and said he was quality so some work out well over here and others dont and tbh we have had our fair share of crappy imports so this post is in no way meant as a dig,just a general observation and btw we were garbage tonite as well!!!

Long Live The Pearl !!!!: |

| from what iv seen of him so far he is bad! defence is rubbish he seems to fall off most and he seems to be out of posistion alot. his attack is even worse!he seems obssessed to give it hoffman at every chance and when he doesnt he sticks a horrible flat ball out for some else. since hes come into the team we look all over the place in attack. deacon cant come back soon enough for me and failing that sam has to go back to 6 and he should be made to earn his posistion in the reserves!
also it makes you wonder now why daniel anderson told him he could find a new club when he took over at paramatta!

'There's only one code of rugby.': |

| You get the feeling that Madge doesn't really know what to do with Finch, Tomkins and Lulu. We also seem to be missing Deacs an awful lot which is a bit worrying.

| Nothing wrong with Finch in my opinion. He's still settling into the team. He wasn't the reason we got hammered today - our inability to tackle, hold onto the ball, and catch the bomb (and it was team wide) were.
I still think our best combination is Finch, S. Tomkins and Leuluai at hooker. It's night and day with Leulaui playing #9 - lifts the whole team going forward.

| Maybe this Madge going business has also cast doubts in the players minds due to uncertainty ?

Isn't there a very good winger in the U20's? If so should we be up in arms he's not in the side over Goulding who could not catch to save his life tonight despite getting hands on the ball first for two of the early Les Cats tries?
Most people don't have the chance to watch the U20's so wouldn't know anyway whether a winger or half back from there is any better than either player. Noble got slagged off for dropping young players who had done exceptionally in the first team when his hand had been forced to play them.
As to Finch, we were chasing the game after 18 mins and were sh 1 t all over the park. It wasn't his fault and anyone who puts most of the blame at his door is deluding themselves about how bad the rest of them were.

Well said.
Madge really needs to decide on who is the 1, 6, 7 & 9 and stick with it. The constant chopping and changing and rejiging of the team when McIllorum goes off is so disruptive and is reflected in our disjointed attack. No one seems to know the calls or putting their hand up to lead the play, when Finch tries he gets booed, but when Sam makes half a yard and always goes himself back on the inside and slips, nobody seems to get worked up?
We are currently missing Riddell/Deacon to the point it could ruin our season.

I agree 100%. Someone tell Madge
Seriously though with Sam at 1 you could see the Les Cats defence get ready for him running form deep on the right. Every time.
