St Helens won SL with a much worse injury crisis that went on all season, not just a couple of weeks. Your squad depth is awful but that’s what you get when you pay a winger marquee money

One tiny positive - French's 1st half try was fantastic - one of the best we've scored all year.

Him going for the one handed put down, then realising the winger was coming back on the pitch so changed his grip.

Great skill.

Yes and another great piece of centre play from King after last week's assist.

They’ve had no injury crisis,, they’ve been gifted a few league titles when nobody gave a love because of Covid and lack of injuries, the first season anybody gives a poop and they’ve crumbled.

That was bad, Catalan played well but we were just awful, no one comes out of that game with any credit. I know about our injuries etc etc but some of our basic play and skills were shocking today. I am not going to critisise individuals because it was an awful team non-performance.

Some players need to be absolutely hammered in training on basic rugby league skills because too many left them behind today.

ps can Tommy come out of retirement please?

From what I can see we are also missing a captain.

Oh and also Briers.

The issue for me is that we have been dire wince we beat Warrington. Not sure what has gone wrong and how we fix it.

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 6:39 am  

Wigan get beat, the board is infiltrated with neanderthals. We win, not a squeak.

Pure envy and jealousy at its finest. They want to be us but can't be.

Re: Field back : Sun Jun 04, 2023 8:05 am  

We lost to a better team on the day,that day isnt every day.
We are missing a few I agree.
But have noticed other teams fans (apart from one lunatic) have said it will be a Wigan v saints/Catalan/whoever GF so they must see something in this team that some of our fans dont.
I for one always try and look up rather than down we are a good team and will win/lose games as others will.
The players prob are feeling sh*t at the min,but will come back firing for the next game .
I for one think we could win the next 2 very important games .

We need to sort out next seasons squad, all this talk about Tyler Dupree will not fix our props. So far this season he has made 1120m out of 14 appearances with 169 carries, so on average per game you’re looking at;

80m per game
6.6 average gain
12 carriers per game.

He averages 24 tackles per game, we need north of 30 and least.

Poor and no better than Magos stats, we need 120m plus per game, average over 8m per drive and 15 carries plus. That’s what kind of prop we need.

We wouldn’t go far wrong than to look at Josh King at Melbourne, not playing rep footy, good stats, type of prop we need.
