Good performance and the young forwards who came in did well. Agree about the goal kicking. It was a strange decision to nominate Smith as the kicker having signed one with a better percentage. While he improved towards the end of last season he did have some real stinkers goal kicking. Now he is th...

I’d like to think that he will be here for another 4 years but I think it’s with demanding a fee if the NRL come sniffing. I don’t think it is. The same was said with Wardle and Field. I think the club is expecting all three to see their contracts through and it seems as if the club is intent on bu...

One issue I have is the talk of the VR saying yellow and the ref reaching for a red. If that happened it’s not really on at all. Wider than the Saints Wigan game I think there are going to be a lot more players sent off this season than ever before and a lot of those sending offs will be for acciden...

Playing Saints with a team of 16 players was certainly a daft thing to do. He didn’t use the bench very well at all as Mago and Leeming didn’t get may minutes either it seemed. So hopefully when he mentions we will learn from the game he’s also referring to his own game management. As to Byrne I th...

Losing the arm wrestle in that second half after the sending off what harm is there giving Nsemba a go? A type of player who can break tackles and change the game…madness not to be used. Considering I’m not his biggest fan I thought Thompson played well, Bryne on the other hand would not make the s...

It was a great defensive effort today. But like Salford our attack lacks any structure. Bevan is a great individual player as his tries show but he doesn’t bring the best out of the rest of the backs. We struggle to create overlaps and our scrum plays have been poor considering the pace we have. I ...

I think Field lost his confidence after those two early fumbles and then late in the game didn’t compete and let them score. He is an outstanding attacking player, but his mistakes are too costly and he is becoming a luxury that we can’t afford. Can’t say I’m impressed with our new players. Thompso...

Can’t blame the ref when you lose if the opposition only scores 12 points. I am not surprised we have lost today given the performances since the WCC which have have been lacklustre. We have been scraping through games and that was the reckoning as Dai put it. On paper we have what looks like the b...
