Not as disgraceful as our attack. The attack is clueless they were turned over tonight and won. We need at least 2 new centres of class ability. Gildard will be very good but he is not ready yet.

Gelling well I think that is his season over with. We have everything in the side apart from centres who create. Burgess and Josh got no ball tonight ZIP.

Cannot fault our forwards tonight they really dominated for long spells but as you say, we created virtually nothing and at the end relied on kicks in the ingoal.

That decision NOT to go for goal with a very kick-able penalty was (for me) crucial and a really poor decision knowing how few times we actually had opened them up and looked like we had moves in us when on their line

One quality veteran prop would be nice, a Scott Logan or a Craig Smith type of player to lead the young guns around

We are so naive as a team it is unbelievable, so much that needs improving. However to not even attempt for a high ball and literally move out of the way of it again is nothing short of disgraceful, irrelevant of how he has played recently, since he joined us and even tonight!! INEXCUSABLE!!

Bowen has proved he is just not a big game player he did a lot right in that match but then when it really matters fielding the kick to win he goes missing

Bit Confused how any blame can be placed on bowen he played well. The highball well what chance does a small full back have against someone twice his height.

Should have kicked for two in hindsight but 3 sets on there try line you'd expect to get over and I can see why we went for another 6.

Refereeing in the first half from what I saw at the match was nothing short of atrocious lost control of the game and listened to Wilkins whinging.

Obviously I couldnt see from behind the posts but either saints Helens have the most amazing athletes or they were not on side most of game.

Burgess isn't ready yet he had no pace have we brought him back to soon to get him match fit for the semis?

Gutted with the result the best team tonight lost however is does make next week interesting and could possibly change the entire top four.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Is this a joke? It's his job to challenge for high balls, even if it's against a Harlem Globetrotter!! Anything would have been better than what he did which was literally move out of the way!!

I am not blaming him for the defeat although his shithouse play literally did cost us as we were winning then losing because of it with seconds to go, but again what he did or lack of what he did was laughable!!

By the way I didn't realise Josh Jones was over 11ft tall!!
