I agree with Jake that the 'no half back' excuse has been a cop out for us all season and it just shows how tactically inept Agar is. Even though we don't have the players fit to play a certain way, he still sticks with plan A, rather than altering the way the team plays.

The reason Saints did so well without their first choice halves was that their 9's (Cunningham and Roby) know how to control a game from the ruck and push the team around from there, meaning all the makeshift halves have to worry about is the kick. Whereas if we put Horney, Washy, Berro etc. in the halves we expect them to play the same game as Long, which we all know they can't.

I think many of us would have been rather underwhelmed had we signed Paul Deacon, but the way in which Maguire used him in the GF was superb!!

I think we have to admire the way Wigan brought in a new coach and he made one only one signing ( Deacon).

His first season and they not only make the grand final they win it in some style, I think there are lessons there for every club. Clearly he has had a massive impact as players that looked quite ordinary last term are now world beaters.

Saints did a good job getting to the final without there halfbacks, they lost because Wigan did not allow them to play there usual attacking game.

we may have?? myler is the only one who i have been told about.

I've told you loads of times stop listening to Airlie Night you're killing yourself.
