am i the only one who thought riley didnt need to pass that ball i was bang in front of him and it looked like he could have got over himself.

Lyne didn't have that bad a game yesterday but he does appear to lack some bottle/self belief at times said before send him to the White Rose (no not to shop) and let him spend a few week sparring with the lads it just might make him.

Three or four players missed pretty standard tackkles for Saints first try today.
Thought Lynne was OK today - the degree of tint in your spectacles I guess will influence quite how you rate him from game to game - we all have our favourites and those we love to hate - Brett Ferres always used to be mine (ball steal after the hooter giving away a try grrrrr).

The game changer for me was the pass from Lyne to Riley that went into touch (not blaming either) it just didn't come off.
What Ganson was doing interfering with the ref at half time i have no idea but it certainly created a change in dynamics as i hardly noticed him in an even first half but he shot us to bits in a very one sided second half.

Sadly Lyne is suffering from Agar's insistence on playing him last year in every game when he wasn't playing well enough to deserve it.
He is now in the unenviable position of having to play twice as well as everyone else to get that monkey off his back.

FWIW I think he has started the season OK and has definitely improved on last years performances.

Nail on head for me Fordy. Good post.
