And Catalan,

Disappointed to not have the 2 points, but however after last weeks loss I'm jut glad we at least got one point.
I had a bad feeling that if Saints didn't take the 2 and chose to tap it they would have scored. I will settle for a draw today.
And at least Huddersfield lost

Said it all season, plays well against the lower teams, gets found out when plays against better teams.

Hopefully people will start to see it.

It's not the halfbacks that bother me so much - as you say, we know we need improvement there. What I'm concerned about is our defence. It's gone from the best in the league to decidedly shaky in recent weeks.

Struggling to come up with a positive?

How about, loosing our winger early in the first half, still missing yeaman, no o'meley a youngster stepping in from Wigan as our full back who has done very well, his lack of experience under the high ball is telling but that'll come.

We played poor in the first half and second half in attack, it was not until mid-way through the second half when we started to play a bit more football with the ball in hand.

We almost had 2 points, but settled for 1 after a penalty in the last minute, we played a team as Dave said that has only lost against Wigan, and let's be honest Wigan can dispatch anyone easily this season the way they are playing.

So how the hell can you not pick up any positives? Would you rather it have been a defeat?

What you have to remember aswell, is the fact we don't even have the best half backs! and we hardly have any options, so I think we are doing very well, I opened my gob far too early the start of this season, but you have to give Gentle credit, he's doing a fantastic job!

On current form I'd drop him as soon as Yeaman is fit and play Crooks on that side. Can't be a lot worse.

Think you are right, looks dodgy out wide, but our first choice centres are out and our winger not injured early.

As I have already said Saints are a decent side. Since Simmons got sacked they have won every game except the Wigan ones, including Leeds twice and Warrington.

Joint 4th on points with a game in hand.

Who wouldn't have take that before the season?

People are being too negative.

Yes.


Because we had a metric tonne of possession and field position but failed to score enough points. We let them score far too easily when they got down our end. And in the final few minutes we made some basic mistakes that cost us the two points. However - I [idid[/i mention that I was interested in what the folk who were there had to say as you don't get the full picture from the radio commentary and there could be reasons why we played as badly as it appears we played.


What a stupid comment to make.


At no point have I said that I think Gentle is doing anything other than a bang-up job. My comments are about the performance of the team in today's game and, to an extent, the preceding two weeks. Gentle isn't exactly happy about how we're playing right now either you know. And I'm pretty sure he won't be mentioning too many positives in his post match interview either.

Nice edit BTW. Sadly you were too slow.

You can be unhappy with the last few games while still being pleased about our overall position you know.

I said a while ago that the sign of whether or not Turner truly has turned it around is how he reacts to a bad run of form. The last few games have seen his bad habits creeping in again, so we may see the answer soon.

Your more deluded than I first thought. You couldn't talk yourself out of a paper bag Kosh.

Can't find a positive? lmao

We are joint 4th with a game in hand, with the past 6-8 weeks dominated with injuries, lack of options in half back pair, if we had a pair of decent half backs and another class /winger, I reckon we would be in the top 2.

Our attack was very poor throughout *Negative* But we still picked up a point, should have been 2 if we didn't give away the penalty at the end, against a team that's only lost too wigan since a change in management (positive). Not hard is it, to be honest.

Lewis

Every team has a bad patch, maybe this is ours and we have got 3 points out of 6.

Yeaman back next week should tighten the defence.

Not looking forward to next week.
