Cant remember the last time we had a 3 tier attack like we used too. What's happened to our attack we used to be the best at it now we look shocking. Surely it cant be not having Gale in the team.

We signed naff all in off season great ambition

We only got Rankin cos wardle couldn’t wait to leave.
But you said we should spend some of our profit. I was merely pointing out that we already had done so. If you go a bit further back, we also spent £150,000 on Zak Hardaker. Don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant though

It’s too easy to plough a load of emotion into a situation and blame everyone who probably doesn’t deserve blaming tonight. Have to take a step back a bit and write it off. A bad day at the office where everything went wrong man to a man. Not one individual. The team 1-17. A team that IS good enough to beat Saints.

So the only people who should be blamed tonight are the players. If they want to win things they have to step up and show the right attitude and do the basics.

The forwards didn’t want to do the dirty stuff. We have a team that are in awe of Saints and stand and watch them rather than showing fight. It’s like we see Roby and co and think they are the golden boys.

We tried to play without earning the right to. Our forwards didn’t want to take on Walmsley and Thompson and instead tried to go down the edges. Our right hand side was diabolical. There’s absolutely no way Holmes, Foster and Minikin should play together again. Madness that we persisted with that for 80 mins and that’s the only thing I can lay at Powell’s door.

Our defensive attitude is abysmal. Stand back and let them make 10 metres every time. On your own line, just stand there and watch them run over the top of you. Static. Get into their faces and give them something to think about!

Funnily enough it was the players people bagged on here that did the best job tonight. Shenton played well, Clare came on and made a break, Rankin was a threat in attack. Of our forwards the best was Moors but the rest were poor.

You have to add Peanut into that surely, I thought him, Shenton and Moors were the only 3 that could really hold their heads up

I didn’t omit Mata’utia deliberately just that I didn’t think he’s one to lump in with the ones that get bagged and he’s not hit and miss.

He’s very much Mr Consistent but even then tonight I don’t think he did anything special. It’s just that everyone else was worse barring 1 or 2.

Think you will find Thompson got dumped on his arse more time than he beat his man.

It’s not that he didn’t get tackled it’s that he made 10 metres before he did. Walmsley and Thompson play with aggression and run it in hard. Our only prop that wants to do that is Watts.

In terms of what. Not a vast gulf in quality. Basic errors given them the game.

We dont have a money man that throws millions at the club.

We spend to the cap what else do you want?
yes we spend the cap on massive squad but after starting 15 nobody's any good we should start spending money on some marqee players if ever want to win any thing. you are one off the worse off the tinted glass brigade

I genuinely think we panicked today, if we were playing Widnes (not a comparison or tempting fate) we would have trusted our sets and played our own game. I said on another thread, I watched it on mute and we pushed, forced and didn't settle.
We have got to trust ourselves more and trust in the system we play and if we get beat fair enough. But we didn't.

Video review will be painful in defence and attack for a few, we over played today and are better than this, but also, I have to say, Saints are the best in the division, at the moment, by a mile.

Teams that win things don't shoe horn players into positions. Foster (I feel sorry for him) is not a centre. We need to play Minikin either at centre or wing and bring in the other. What I don't get is why are we paying a wage to Clare who is not SL standard. Not a dig at Clare, more so a dig at the clubs recruitment. No other to 6 team was looking at Clare, yet we start him in the 17. Every season we are putting one round peg in the fooking Square hole. We are just one player away from a quality line up.

We have to do something to try and fix the right side defence up some of the efforts last tonight were embarrising
I agree matatautia is steady at full-back and I'm sure he would rarther play full back but for me id move him into the centre have either Clare or minikin on the wing and play Turner at full back ...that's if he's available
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

So last season they got the full back wrong and this season it's the centre position. Get your hand in your pocket Cas.
