I respect your opinion but do you really think Perry has given Saints any level of performance during his time with us

No, I'm not suggesting he has. But in this instance, he put in 9 tackles mainly because he played the first 15 minutes and the last 5. 9 tackles in the time he was on the field is fine, the question is why he was off the field for so long.

Good to see Howarth didnt miss a tackle last week from his 16 tackles.

Because he needs a rest from running out the tunnel at the start.

LMS had one of his better games.

LMS was significantly better in the second half. If he and another couple of guys had played the 80 minutes, we may have won.

He was sat on the bench for the majority of it. Were you not there?

Apparently I was in that my body was standing frozen in the West Stand. However, my mind was gone by halftime so I wouldn't have noticed how many times Perry came on to and left the field had he run on and off stark bullock nekked.

Story of the bloody season so far, that is.

Or one of them.

Everything about this season is infuriating. Take that game - we defend stoutly for 5 sets only to let Clarke sneak over from dummy half for a cheap one, then conceded 3 soft ****grrr -even now, just typing about that match is pissing me off *****

I'm off to bed.

The young boys doing it for us again. Thompson coming up with some monster stats compared to the big money boys around him. LMS for his critics can actually put in a good shift, you just wish he would focus on playing rather than messing around.

Problem was the breaks we allowed Widnes to make setting up their long range tries. Ashe and Wellens defending next to each other was asking for trouble. Wellos three misses resulted in three tries I am pretty sure that Clough could have done a better job.

Makinsons stats look good but he struggled a bit with his positioning which is something stats don't show.

The stats also reflect that Manu and Perry did not get enough game time for them to have a proper impact on the game. This could have impacted the energy levels of the rest of the pack, including Wello.

Anyone else think that try should have been disallowed? The Widnes player clearly walked forward from the play the ball, taking out the marker (Walmsley?)
