I'm not a fan of applauding a gutless, heads down performance with little effort. I don't think that was the case last night. The lads put in a shift, the score flattered Saints to some extent and there was no lack of effort. There was a lack of quality, something Saints have in spades. The lads were fully deserving of their round of applause IMO.

I think the applause came because we showed up better than we did at Leeds, we challenged for 50-60 minutes.

Saints played some spectacular rugby a joy to watch.

We observed Long who is the master in his role and will wear our shirt next season

Thorman played a lot better which is all we ask..

Because maybe we realise booing will not resolve anything.

Its a release of frustrations for some. If people want to thats up to them. I just left 10 mins early and went to the bar. Thats my release i guess.

Saints are better than us man for man in virtually every one of the 17 named players. They have a very good coach and are top of the table, looking a good shout for the double. We've lost far more home games than we've won this season, much the same as last year. And then, in the game itself, I don't believe Saints ever needed to get out of second gear. We had a good go at it and the effort was there but we don't have the personnel to turn them over.



Correct, if we'd not made stupid errors at key moments also we would have competed far better. We made it easy for Saints, but IMO even if we'd executed a decent gameplan with appropriate interchanges they still have too much for us.

Theyre the best team in the league i agree, but personally i still feel if we had played to a better gameplan we could have beaten them, we were at home too which often helps. I cant help thinking back to our first few seasons at the KC when we dished out a hammering to excellent Saints teams everytime they came. We just have no creativity and no gameplan now, but i still think we could have won.

Fair point..
For the first time in a few years I felt very very despondent, I was just waiting for the hooter, yes I am looking forward to next season however what about this season what did I pay £200 for ?

I am actually concerned we will not even make the play-offs at this rate..no doubt some good news will come out of the club this week, nice smoke screen.

2 years of it now too. £400 i could have spent doing things with the family instead, and its tempting for next year to do just that.

I applauded the players at the end because they played better than they have done recently. Their heads didn't go down straight away, Thorman improved his performance considerably and against a different team we would have gone in front and on to win - Accentuate the positive (as they say).

Sods law..we would win the treble

We will just carry on living in hope

Going to the KC is doing things with your family!

Your dad, uncle, cousin, cousin in law and the big fella (as good as family) all go to the KC with you.

Chin up Wakey and Salford up next a couple of wins and a bit of confidence is needed from these games.

Even that was p**s poor..Thought the announcer...Rosie whats her name didn't help. We couldn't hear hardly a word she said and consequently the atmos' fell flat right from the word go.

Well I applauded the effort of most of the players as they left the field last night. Guess that makes me a clueless mug.

Is effort enough?
