A typical Smith performance. No lack of effort but we are a disorganised rabble of a team. I appreciate Saints are a top side, but we have managed to score 2 tries in 160 minutes ( 1 an interception). Apart froma good 30 minutes last week we have shown no improvement from last season.

That's not what I said, I said comparing the two was daft.

Have a listen to Ash on the BBC podcast he's full of praise for Momirosvki and how he has helped Ash with his game.

Not sure how he has helped Handley, probably needs to concentrate on his own game first as he doesn;t look like a world beater. We need class not steady.

Saints Triumph Over Disappointing Rhinos In Cup : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:41 pm  

Saints Triumph Over Disappointing Rhinos In Cup St Helens were strong 18-8 winners over the Leeds Rhinos when tonight's Challenge Cup hopefuls met in a regular round Super League encounter last weekend, and the bookies made the visitors slight favourites again by giving the Rhinos a two-point start on the handicap coupon. The Rhinos had Paul Momirovski back in the centres alongside Rhyse Martin while Saints had Waqa Blake in the centres and Moses Mbye at scrum half for Lewis Dodd, and Curtis Sironen back in the starting line-up with Batchelor on the bench. A place in the quarter finals was up for grabs and on paper there was little to choose between the two sides. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

Thank f*** that's over. Possibly one of the most boring games I've ever seen. Dread to think where we'd be without Ackers and croft.

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:45 pm  

That was not an acceptable performance.

Actually annoyed about that one

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:47 pm  

So many poor individual performances tonight.

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:47 pm  

Not a lot to say really.
Another lame, toothless performance.
Becoming all too familiar.
We're in danger of becoming a 'nothing' team under Smith.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a poorer kicker than Frawley. It's quite unbelievable at times.
But I fully expect stubborn Smith to continue with the same policy.
Massive 5 games in the league for the coach now.

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:48 pm  

That’s 3/6 now and out of the cup at the first hurdle again.

If we could see consistent improvement then you can accept waiting for things to improve results wise, but the next few weeks are now very significant for Smith and this group.

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:51 pm  

At least we can concentrate on the league now

Re: RD 5 | St Helens (H) : Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:51 pm  

That was pants.
We’ll probably beat Cas by 50 next week though assuming Holroyd and Lisone not banned
