| Quote: jonh "Agree with this.
Yes out wingers are making big meters. They always do.
It’s our failure to stop other teams making big meters and our lack of ability to make big meters between tackles 2-5 which is killing us.
We have a soft belly that consistently loses contact in the middle of the park in both attack and defence.
You can’t hide that with wingers making good kick returns.'"
The other issue with our defence is our line speed. We need to replicate what we did in the GF on a regular basis. Hull did it to us last week and stifled the life out of us.

If Gildart departs then, in my view, we need two strike centres because what we have got is not good enough.

I’m happy with Hardaker and a replacement for Gildart being recruited. Not Hurrell though.

His fitness is the concern for me. If you could guarantee he could avoid injury I'd love him at Wigan.

| I never rated Hurrell much. And sure ain't part of any solution to the Prop Problem.

You do realise that I said that sarcastically?

| Read a rumour that Liam Watts is off to Hull KR, hope we're in for him.

| Watts hasn’t been at his best but we’re in a position of needing to take a punt on somebody with a physical presence IMO.
On the plus side I thought the bench props lifted us tonight. I don’t think Lam is even close to getting his starting front row right but maybe that’ll come in time.

| Watts is good ball in hand but he is also a penalty machine which gets overlooked too easily by fans

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 |

Byrne and Havard were a handful, made loads of metres after contact and worked hard with no errors. Clarke one great run but that was it and he looks so poor defensively.

They’re doing great and we just need to do something about getting more support around them now. I’m chuffed Byrne rammed some of our own fans comments down their throats tonight. I thought Clark did ok but no more really. His weaknesses let down the good work he does sometimes.
I don’t know what is happening with Bullock but he can’t be putting it in during the week to not make this team. I’d be looking to start him every week but he did have a slow start when we did that. I’m hoping this is Lams way of kicking him up the backside because I’ve always said he seems to need that.

| Clark and Bullock are very similar, good go-forward but have zero engine and are really poor defensively.
Singleton looks like he’s in slow motion this season.
