Talk about knee jerk. This time yesterday it was just a case of how many we'd beat Wigan by. Today thanks to 2 freakish intercept tries and Wigan beating a Wakefield squad struggling to get 17 fit bodies on the pitch and the doom and gloom begins.

We were poor yes, but hardly disgraceful. Let's put it down as a one off and get fully behind the lads next week!!

I think we should create a "Gary Wheeler of the Message Board" award, the slightest crack in performance and the knee jerk goes into overdrive.
We do have 2 consistent performers and are way out in front at the moment for this award.

We didn't deserve a thing from that. Burns's pass was 5m forward and Wilkin's was pretty debatable too.

Where do you start tonight? You start by saying Hull KR are shocking. Defensively woeful, their wingers and fullback can't deal with any bombs and their back row and centres could tackle a bowl of Weetabix. They didn't even have a pack on the field tonight, Green was about their only forward and he spent the game charging round committing fouls.

The backs tonight were shocking. I've never seen a half back showing as bad in years, and that's saying something given how we've set for half backs. Neither of them did anything good tonight and they gave that game away with some incredibly naive, stupid, lazy ball play. Saints got the ball into their 10 repeatedly and didn't threaten the line once in that position. It was just a lazy, scripted swing one way or the other with a lazy pass to the first player. Burns's defending is also a massive concern, he can smash second rowers but he drops off other players and just doesn't read anything properly. He's cost us several tries already this season. Swift shouldn't be playing for us for a long time, not until he's proven he can play in the youth team for an extended period. Turner/Jones/Dawson did nothing wrong, but nothing right either.

The pack didn't do enough either. They had a clear advantage and didn't capitalise on it. WTF was Cunningham playing at with his use of Mose? With his size against that pack from Hull KR, he should have been doing 60 minutes, not 8 in the first and 8 in the second. Every time he got the ball in the second half he got 15 metres plus, why not have him crashing onto the ball near their line? We were always going to lose our unbeaten record, I had thought it may be next week however. Tonight was unacceptable, the kind of performance that can ruin a side's confidence. If we'd gone in tonight and played it all through the middle and been more professional and clinical near their line early on and we'd have walked it tonight by 20 plus.

I can't work out if this whole post is bitter or idiotic?
To come on here and slate our team shows how much rl knowledge you have our whole team have a shed load of rugby league pedigry and it was always going to take 6-7 games for us to start to gel

We let our determination slip, forgot the basics and made a ton of errors. Hull KR scraped home by the skin of their teeth.

I can't recall too many matches in which the opposition were more dangerous INVITING us to ATTACK THEM.

It's understandable some are a bit frustrated. It is embarrassing losing to Hull KR.

You must have got used to being embarrassed by now isn't that 8 times on the trot we've beaten you at craven park,did you notice the 2 blatant forward passes for your last 2 trys.
Anyone would think you were a sore loser.

Did you notice the blatent shoulder charge to the face that did not even get a yellow???

We can all pick out bad ref decisions.

The first one not to at least bin the player has just as big an effect as not calling 2 forwards.

There are a few headless chickens on here, but the Sad one is generally like this frequently.

Agree we were fortunate green didn't get at least a yellow.

I worry that if saddened had supported any other side he would have committed suicide by now your champions and until last night were unbeaten FFS

We were thinking of sending him out on dual reg but thought he might be too much for the rugby society. He does say something positive on a rare occassion, but blink and you might miss it.

Re: Justice done : Sat Mar 28, 2015 9:56 am  

Jeez, one game lost. Get over it. Every supporter in SL would rather have their team where Saints are right now. If Saints are playing as badly as some of their supporters are saying then heaven help the rest of us when they get their act together!!!

There was an interesting decision last night.

It was something that went against us last week, but for us last night.

It's the reaching around the ruck, last week our player did it and everyone was shouting professional foul and this week Hull KR got pinging for it. Does this mean that the dummy half is immune from being tackled?
