... even Lane played the week before Watts left the club.

The stats tell the story of last night.

saints made 1601 metres from 222 carries while we made 1177 from 200. They completely dominated our forwards and made the most of the quick PTB it allowed. With hadley, mini, manu and watts missing from the pack we started the season with it's no real surprise.

Add in 56 missed tackles and 14 errors and the score probably flattered us. We could definitely do with another forward if there is an opportunity to bring a back rower in. I think lane and washy both played the full 80 last night due to the injuries

Wasting your time, he's been told many times, but just understand it.

Not even worth replying as if he won't reply, I'm still waiting on him to reply on a couple of posts.

He just moans about everything which is easy to do when you rarely attend games.

Can't believe we didn't stick with Uncle Peter and Bomber.
We'd have been doing the treble for the 5th time this year.
If only AP had listened to the Letchworth Garden City Super Fans Supporters Club.

Still think we can finish in the top 4, think Saints, Leeds and Wigan are the best sides, but haven't seen anything in any of the other sides that makes them think they are better than us.

I hope you are right, but we need to harden up in defense, we fell off so many tackles and allowed offloads last night.

Fash waiting for an op this morning.

56 missed tackles?!

Third game of an easter week missing manu ,Mini and Hadley lose two players during the game against the best side in Sl and lose ..its the end of the world for some ,bottom four for others .,for gods sake get a grip. Losing Watts did not cost us last night i doubt if losing Watts will define our season. I have no doubt the Radford out brigade will soon gather again its pathetic

Saints playing their third game in 8 days too. Without barba and walmsley plus lost roby during the game who are 3 of the best players in the comp. We were 2nd best by a long way.

It's not just last night, it's what's happened already this season. Were just not competitive with the best teams imo

Last night wasn't a disaster, we looked tired but Saints are a good side so I don't think at any point of the season we'd have been favourites to win.

But I am concerned that so far this season we seem to have taken a step back from our levels in 2016 & 2017, we seem to have lost aggression (not helped by the departures of Ellis & Fonua) and we are still making too many silly errors and playing games in patches. We have suffered more injuries and suspensions this year (even on the Wings were normally you expect a lot of consistency) but we need to manage it better.

Still lots of the season to go, but so far I think we are looking at finishing 5th-8th which would be disappointing and more back where we were during the Gentle era and 2015 not the top4 Grand Final assault we had hoped for.

Wire cruising v Salford already
