Those might still have a year still to run .

I have thought the same.

Its a 3 match losing run but in reality its quite likely it could be a 6 game losing run.
Keep saying it we need some pace into the team and until Hodgson starts to get serious with the players indiscipline we are always going to be up against it .
Some serious issues in the club and Hodgson will be under pressure for the first time since arriving here.
If the coach has dropped Bowden and Houghton then surely the time has come to drop Fonua and Sneyd whilst Johnstone will never make it in todays faster game.

Gave it a real dig and in the end the scoreline perhaps a little harsh. Let's face it though Saints were not on their A game.

Any word on whyTuimavave and Houghton were missing or how long they'll be out?

Thought we gave it a real dig tonight. Farimo scores and who knows. Saying that Saints better team. Scoreline cert flattered them though. Thought effort was outstanding. With a few returning soon we can still get in the 6. Thought the crowd where good tonight to.

I'm not as charitable as you are. We didn't turn up for most of the 1at half, Saints haven't played for weeks and weren't in top form. A good 20 or 30 mins flattered to deceive then we reverted to usual type with errors when it mattered.

Thank god we have Satae and Sao or we'd really be up against it. Fonua needs dropping, another poor display. Johnstone didn't take his chance and is another we need to try and move on.

Well after watching that I can see myself walking away from the sport. Whilst we were pretty abject again and were never really going to win what really is killing the game for me is the officials. Tonight we weren’t angels and rightly got penalised for some stuff what I find hard to take is the different way Child ruled the game for us compared to St’s. Most of the night St’s we’re offside with not intent to get back onside yet Child ignored that fit the majority, nor being square and also moving off the mark again ignored, we got penalised for leading with the arm yet Walmsley on about every 3rd carry went in leading with the elbow/firearm or knee yet nothing given. The yellow for Johnstone was harsh but the yellow for Ligi was a joke considering Percivals head shot moments earlier. Plus Childs missed the punch thrown by Matautia and the amount of 6 agains he gave then yet St’s were holding down and spoiling the ptb in almost every occasion but we got little given.
The game is becoming a complete farce and whilst we are poor the officials are pretty poor too.
We really need a clear out as some players just aren’t offering anywhere near value. Our line speed both in attack and defence was laboured and we are back to having the ball move along the line but everyone’s stood still so we make no ground.
The thing is I don’t even know why I’m surprised as it’s just a common occurrence.

When you say Sao had a go, do you mean had a go at conceding a penalty every opportunity he got? He was a liability tonight.

I can't fault our effort. We started poorly but did well to grind our way back in to it. The yellow ultimately took the game away from us. We must be the dumbest team in the league though, and ball in hand we had nothing. Reynolds tried his best but he's got nothing to work with. Our movement off the ball is non existent.

We've got a 7 who can get us in a position to score, but not actually pull the trigger.

Reynolds tries, but we need some more options. Connor can't come back soon enough.

Can we have Roby for 12 months before he retires? We're so desperate for a 9.

Forwards again laid the platform, but we have no finesse. It's crash, band, wallop, kick. Then try again

Some senior players let us down tonight, Fonua needs some time out I dread to think how much cap space he is taking up.

I'd be reluctant to renew Ma'us contract too, I'm sure we could get more 'bang for our buck' esewhere

not a chance getting in the top 6 given our next three matches

20 min to go we had fought our way back into the match. Partly due to the ref and our own Disapline we lost. I can't believe the constant knocking of players. Have you lot ever played the game? Yes we are going through a rough patch. But we have players coming back. We had 7/8 out tonight. Let's behind the team. But hey ho some will just reveal in it all. I know we have problems. I know we have players who are not good enough. But FFS give it a rest. Rant over

We lost by 32 points at home, and Coote missed 3 conversions.

We've had sloppy standards for years, 'trying their best' and still being miles behind isn't good enough. All teams get their injuries and issues, Saints have just returned from Covid and all the disruption that brings and barely got out of 2nd gear.

we dont need a hooker and we dont need a prop we need to sign james childs

I honestly don’t see where the next win is coming from.

Done.
