| so disappointing! clearly last is sticking with the radford style of play, but when you sign big forwards hoping for big things and the season completely changes direction in style of play you have also got to change with it..sadly we dont look like we can or won't! the team looks unfit compared to all teams now we have seen them in action.
Pearson needs to be brave and look outside the club, promoting from within clearly isnt working anymore....i bet we still use Peter Sharps' playbook!

Sharp always used to tell us how good we looked in training, I will give Last a few games, but if he picks Houghton again then that will, quite probably, change my mind.

houghton should be nowhere near starting 9 now, let alone captain.Young johnstone is far quicker at ptb, not about being top tackler! houghton has been flogged to death playing 80 minutes for the last few years, his distribution is poor and painfully slow!

You are being kind using the word 'distribution', he just stands behind the tackled player and passes it a metre to someone else!

| To be fair, the side we’ve built was designed for a different sport to what we’re playing now.
Lasty might have asked them to play slightly differently, but when the pressure was on and we were fatigued, it’s all too easy to drop into our normal style of play.
Think that is one of Radfords legacies, our dour style of play. When we do try and play a bit more freely, it just looks like an unorganised panicked mess.
The whole is less than the sum of its parts. Really disappointing.

| Accountability is the key word now, as Last said he's going to hold the players accountable so let's see who's dropped and held accountable.
Shaul no interest at all in defending , anybody want a pop at that, go watch the Warrington and today's games back and watch shaul off the ball for the tries, then come back and apologise.
Houghton as tons have said distributions shockingly slow, no creativeness In attack either.
Not just those two either, Fonua was terrible as was Bowden and Connors basic errors, no direction or leadership right across the board. Thought Carlos and Griffin there usual handfuls when running the ball and not a lot else.
So onto Castleford, honestly if no players are dropped and held accountable then what's the point, it's just Radford all over again.
For me and I know some will wet there pants as that's how it is on here when your direct, it'd be
Shaul out for Connor
Houghton out for Johnstone
Ellis out for Brown (need more minutes out our props Gaz)
Swift in for Fonua
I wasn't overly impressed with Ratu's brain fart but hey ho

| Watching Saints reminds me how poor our attitude has become.
Like us they disapointed before lockdown, and of course they changed coach and didnt really bring anyone in. But on return theyve put away a decent Catalans side and are now mauling a top of the table Leeds. Yes this was a champion team already, but a few years ago they were in a slump under a 'club legend' also...

I get your point but how many of our first choice 17 get into their squad?.

Probably nobody, sadly.
But my point was more it seems theyve decided during lockdown 'this isnt good enough' and gone up a gear or two. We've been frozen in time from being booed off in March.

| Quote: MorningGlory23 "I can’t believe we haven’t sorted our speed of the line in defence out, it’s been such an obvious problem for so long, it would of been the first thing I’d worked on, and our attack inside the opposition 20, well that’s just embarrassing.'"
This is the NUMBER 1 problem. Absolutely standing still in defence, giving teams easy yards. Only mirrored by the attack, no movement, no go-forward. It’s been like this for at least 2. Years

My point is they have the calibre across the board to turn on that sort of style. We just don't, and Saints' belief in their ability is much more well founded than ours given their recent achievements. I don't disagree that nothing has changed by the way, nor that we should be better.

I think we could finish anywhere between 8th and 10th.
