well after watching manu for many years.. it was obvious that wasn't his normal self..

came out alone to warm up, one of the last ones to leave at half time and never went in with team. all in all had a very quiet game. he didnt seem bothered, thats my opinion.

and i'm not picking on him, i'm just stating the fact manu's head is already in saints

Don't get them started again

Manu went OK yesterday I thought, and in the first half when we had 3 back to back sets on their line we were playing 1 out rugby, almost looking for the chance to go wide to Willie, but it never came, surprised me really since he's usually over used.

And for me, Briscoe was our best player yesterday, people just decide he's leaving and nothing he does will change that.

i think the problem with manu yesterday was that the normally quick service to him from the halves was missing, making it easier for the wigan defence to shut him down

I have it on very good authority that Manu was seen celebrating Richards' opening try and was in fact wearing a Saints shirt under his Hull top. Oh and he failed to tear Wigan apart completely on his own like he should be doing. Tear his contract up now.

all were average yesterday and thats all there is to it, at no point didi we ever need the 2 weeks off we now have than now!!
regroup, have a rest for the big minute players but very timely.
