The defensive “efforts” look even worse watching the highlights.

You must have a masochistic streak a mile wide to want to watch any of that again!

Nobody should be getting beaten on their outside for pace by Hurrell. LMS sidestepping the fullback to score was another lowlight.

I put the 1980 final on instead.

Some of the worse attempts were by people who we’ve renewed (Wynne), or looking to renew (Lovodua).

So much for clearing the squad out

There were several points as well where most of our forwards were walking back slowly to get into our line, it looked like there was nobody available to run the ball up or really obvious who would be taking the drive up and therefore incredibly easy for saints to defend against.

You could just about list every player, Houghton, Connor, Longstaff and Satae make some shocking defence decisions and attempts, if you analysed every try I'm sure you could pick out every player.

It feels like when it starts to go wrong everyone loses faith in the men either side so they're caught in 2 minds rather than focusing on their job and trusting the others to do theirs.
