Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "The problem is that the reason given by Chester to drop Jowitt was due to errors he made in the Saints. This therefore sets a precedent and the same standard should apply to Grix. We all agree he made mistakes in the Wigan game therefore should he not be held to the same conditions and be replaced by Jowitt.'"


And then we'll get people moaning that he changes the team too much.
And equally we don't know who is ripping it up most in training.
It's not like Chester is trying to lose a game to play his mate. He's picking the best side considering he conditions and opposition.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me. WTRLC 2012 to 2014 "The wasted years" Magic Weekend "Whipping Boys" 2013, 2014 & 2015 2017 - The year the dream disappeared under Grix's right foot. 2018 - The FinniChezz Bromance 2019 - The return of the Prodigal Son. 2020 - Keeping the faith.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2597.jpg



Grix has been hot and cold throughout his career. He was very fortunate to be rescued from that losing Championship Widnes team, by Wakefield, all those years back.
He does seem to have a bit of a teflon coating these days, especially under his boots.

It just doesn't make any sense to suggest Chezzy has some daft agenda.
Coaches live and die by results on the field, why the hell would he pick players less likely to help win a game based on favoritism.
If a player gets dropped from the team its a cast iron certainty there is more to it than anything a bunch of dingbats like us can point out from a few game snippets.
If Grix gets dropped, there'll be a good reason for it, if Jowitt gets dropped there'll be a good reason for it.
With that in mind, we're all entitled to an opinion but I often find myself wondering why people post overly biased obviously agenda driven comments.
I mean Chezzy aint God or anything, he'll make mistakes like everyone else but he's in a far better position to make the right calls than us.
Nothing is ever as black and white as "Jowitt made errors" but we're not gonna spend 8 hours analyzing player performance, stats, attitude and miscellaneous in a 15 minute press interview, that's a job for the playing staff and support.

Our number one problem seems to be our inability to back up a good performance.
We have not won in consecutive weeks since the first 4 rounds.
We have only won consecutive rounds once since then (rounds 16 Widnes A and 17 Wigan H), but then we had a week off in between for the cup .

Why is this?
Mental? Skill? physical? fitness? coaching?

We just need to have that killer instinct to finish off games. The games against Sts & Wigan are examples of games we need to be winning if we want to challenge for the top 4. We were the better side in large portions of those matches. Our defence and attack are as good as anything in SL. It's just those lapses in concentration, errors and silly penalties that have prevented us achieving to our potential.
We play high quality, entertaining rugby.
We have the most stable squad that i can remember. Injuries have been relatively light. When was the last time we didn't make mid-season signings?
I think, despite eventual finishing position, we are a better team than last year. If we can be more consistent next year, the sky's the limit.

Jowitt has recently been given a long contract so the club must see a place for him long term. In the meantime I have no problems with Grix at FB although I have to say if Jowitt had given the stupid penalty away like the one Grix did when he upended the Wigan player, then he would probably have been dropped!

The last two seasons have seen us lose games by the narrowest of margins, anything between 1 and 6 points. Sometimes due to a rush of blood, sometimes a drop goal attempt which missed by inches, sometimes by taking the wrong last tackle option, sometimes by rushing the play of the ball.

At the moment, and the same applied last season, the team need to lift about 10% to be really challenging for the top 4. The big question is... What would give us this lift? A new head coach? A new fitness coach? A world class half back? A specialist skills coach? A new ground?

A motivationalist, belief in what you can do and not dwell in the past poor results, you get the best out of people when you motivate them than constant barrage of abuse

how good would it be that it could start on the terrace first than on the pitch or talks of a new coach

Personally, I don't think a new coach is the answer. Chester has done a phenomenal job since he took over.

Some teams just know how to win, or give themselves every chance of winning the very tight games, whoever the coach or whoever is playing. Saints have been one of those teams throughout their Super League tenure, despite their changing coach and player roster. Their winning mentality goes way deeper than just the coach and players. What do they have which has us perpetually saying "never write off the Saints"?

What do they have? Around about an extra million on their payroll costs I suggest. Read Rod Studds words. If you want better results, pay for better players. Its pretty simple.

In a nutshell. Although it doesn't always compute otherwise we'd be in the qualifiers.

Not always - and I do my best to avoid reading Rod Studd's words, since he started ranting and raving on social media like a drunk fan.

And I'm sure the lads will be motivated by that sentiment at the end of season bash; it's a bit like being told that you're good looking...for your age.

To a point but we have ‘boxed above our weight’ for years and until we get more fans turning up or a sugar daddy then we need to get value for money.

Its definitely not anything coach related, to me its simple, while we are no doubt improving year on year which is great to see, we are yet to experience a number of 'big games' when winning really matters. As people say the top teams can win when the pressure is really on. This thing comes with both time and more experience. The more pressure games we are in when it comes to the crunch end of the season the better.

Both times last season against Saints at Home and Hull away we fell agonisingly short, at no fault of any individual, more around key decisions and doing the right thing in the heat of the moment.

Pains me to say it but we are 2-3 years behind Cas..

I think 2-3 years behind Cas is a great position to be in.
They were challenging for LLS at that time and just missed out.
