I must admit i had to do a double take when i saw Roby on the wing. Your style of play has changed dramatically in the space of 12 months and the only person who can be responsible for that is the coach.
When you think of saints you think of free flowing rugby, but there has been none of that on display for a long time.

Exactly.

Which is why most of us are pulling out our hair and having online tantrums.

It isn't the loss but the style of play we are so wound up about.

The 17 that started last night was good enough to beat hull and beat them pretty easy.

Not so sure that's the case. Hull's pack had 3 former kangaroos in it so were never going to be pushovers.

saints lack leadership and direction. As much as eastmond is a fine talent he doesn't look to be an organiser to me. The need to accomodate 3 hookers will also hamper you.

Most telling thing for me was potter's half time team talk - looked like everyone was ignoring him

They had 3 FORMER kangaroos counts for nothing mate. We have international and former internatinal players all over the field.

We have a few former of those too. The difference is, Hull's are huge and ours are not.

I agree with both of those but the real problem in that respect was that Pryce didn't stand up and take control. He needs another court case hanging over his head: that's good motivation for him.

I noticed this last season. Our play would actually worsen in the second half and it happened again last night. Far from motivating the team, his half time rantings seem to have the opposite effect.

Our season no more ended last night than Leeds' did on Friday.

I'll wait for a game played in normal conditions where we don't lose 4 players to injury before knee jerking!
