Our pack didn't go missing, we had total domination of territory in that game, and time and again our forwards got us within 20.

The link was absolutely dire and we looked clueless on attack. Burns either couldn't see or too busy fighting and Wilkin was invisible. Epitomised with Hohaias lame kick straight into Kelly's hands.

Demolished ? how exactly was it demolished ? we constantly made it in to Rovers half. Not at there best but our forwards where far from the problem tonight

Problem with th epack is that they're doing too much because of how weak our backs are. Making mistakes and not doing enough returning the ball, even at the other end our forwards are the go to men. Our backs are a disgrace and we wont win a big final with the lot we have (against 13 men).

Travis Burns....... i dont have the energy type about his performance. Lets just say Hull Kr are laughing all the way to the bank.

Correct, we have relied on our forwards and tonight it has caught up with us. Our lack of pace in the backs is worrying.

Bad 80 in all areas for the lad but if he scores the winner next week it'll all be forgotten.

Plenty of others were absent tonight, in particular Flanagan.

Don't agree at all mate. We didn't get demolished in the forwards. Territory in the first half was ridiculously in our favour. We gifted them their points.

We made a lot of uncharacteristic errors tonight. Our set completion was woeful. But our pack didn't get demolished at all.

We have plenty of pace in the backs. What we don't have is halves who bring them into play.

Re: Adam Swift : Fri Mar 27, 2015 10:18 pm  

I don't think the pack did well enough given the size advantage and their complete lack of a bench. But it did do enough for a normal side to win the game. We just cannot do anything from inside the 10, they look lost. So far this season we've been lucky, teams have made mistakes and shot out of the line and we've strolled over several times. That didn't happen tonight. You defend your line well against Saints and you win, it's as simple as that.

If Luke Walsh is fit, he should play next week, the sooner the better. Burns needs him and can then go back to his natural game.

Demolished? Nah, I thought Rovers did well to stay in the game in the first half, the Saints forwards were gaining territory with ease, however, the halves and the backs looked like they couldn't create anything. Yes, Rovers were committed but Saints really were toothless in attack.

Other than Walmsley and Mose in his 2nd spell, none of that pack could break thru a paper bag. We busted up down the middle 3/4 times also.

I was little OTT using demolished to be fair. I think we should have really hurt them down the middle considering they have more or less all the props out.

After all, it's the best pack ever to play super league isn't it ?
