how good does that bench look

paul cullen highlighted it on boots and all........he picked up that the cas attack were running at him cos hes suspect in the tackle.



then he picked up on cats running at monaghan.

Smiths tackling is very worrying, he seems to 'grab' at players and not want shoulder contact.





John Monie ?

Bailey is playing centre and apparently goulding to miss out.

is on the bench for mcclorum (soz about spelling)

That'll solve all your problems. Do you really expect a young lad to carry an underachieving team and the expectations of your fans ?

No-one expects that of him, so go crawl back under your stone. We are just happy too see him get his chance.



FFS we get slated for not using our youngsters and when we do everyone still has something else to moan about.

your right what a bunch of tools

not a chance i would put pryce anywhere near the stand off, hes to slow he cant think quick enough, hes to scared to take the ball in and he hasnt got a kicking game at all

I believe that is game set match

I hope it is,

Leave Carmont & Ainscough together, Richards solid @ FB, lets use Pryce & Bailey and see what they can do.

Hope 6, 7 & 9 play as a team and not 3 individuals?????? & Hopefully the pack will look after itself.

i for one hope sam plays and has a stormer. I as a saints fan want a strong wigan side to play against based on young british stars

Its annoying me this now. Ive watched the highlights. I take it back it was only 3 out of the 5 Cas tries, Smith was at fault for...



The disallowed try - Smith missed the tackle.



Smith missed the attacker twice in the build up to the first try. Cas eventually passed it out and they put the kick in and scored.



The second try was definatly Smiths fault.



The third try wasnt Smiths fault as it was a cross field kick.



The fourth Cas try was where he got carried 10 metres.





The fifth try was not Smiths fault so I take that back..



I actually like Tim Smith I think he could be a cracking player for us if he sorts his defence out and gets utilised at scrum half in attack.



My point is why has Goulding been dropped for something that was beyond his control? I am not saying that Goulding was faultless last week but christ on a bike this Goulding witch hunt is doing my head in.

i d go with that matey

As it's doing mine it that there are many who are blinkered to the massive defencies in his game.

Thats what I would go with. Hopefully Mathers can get himself a 5 match ban from the water carriers position.

Is Prescott still injuried ?

He ain't that type of guy remember

I hope to god S.Tomkins makes the final 17!

well he aint playing tonight so i would say its given he is in the 17

Don't know if this was replied to.

David Waite? Think I read a quote of his to that effect on the changing room door in St Pats, but whoever put it there seemed to have misunderstood it because he wrote in big black marker pen next to it "So in other words you can't defend if you can't tackle!" When really the quote was saying that although obviously if you can't tackle you'll be a weak link, you defend as a team not as a player. A very relevant point to those who were booing Tim Smith and cheering on Darrell Goulding.

Hope so

After three poor performances and over half the team being overseas imports, Noble is yet to drop one.

What odds on that

Do you fancy your chances against the Quins tomorrow?
