Kevin Brown

Agree entirely Richards as we will now know him "The Passenger" was awful didn't want to tackle and only did so when there was no chance of getting injured.

Richards is rapidly turning into a major disappointment. I like to give new players time but we are running out of that rapidly.

It seems the theme developing is if someone can name a bad player someone else can too easily pop up another name. That should tell us something if we didn't already know it.

Still, lets not loose sight of how bad Brown is because of Richards. This is Browns thread and he fully deserves it IMO.

Point taken.

Problem sorted get the Doc to transplant Browns enthusiasm / willingness with Richards ability (when interested) and hey presto the perfect centre

Brown is a left centre. Alas he has ideas above his station and thinks he is Brad Fittler

That inside pass to the Quins player is Kevin Brown all over for me. He does not look where he passes the ball. He has no idea of what is going on around him.

What about giving Brown some credit for making that break. To be fair to him there should have been someone in support and I would imagine in training there would have been someone waiting to collect it. He can't do right for doing wrong, if he makes a break and passes it to the opposition he gets a slating, if he makes a break and doesn't pass it he gets called greedy. Whilst at times I thought his defence was poor yesterday (on par with the rest of team?) when Brown is given more freedom playing at stand-off he does make breaks and half breaks.

Shocking why pick brown and push Moran out of position leave moran and orr together to gel put brown out to pasture and leave Ashton at full back. Maybe Nobby will see sense and cut him out of the 1st team squad or make him a professional water boy.

Moran and Orr are not going to gel, they aren't the type of players that will play well together. I thought it was a great decision at Saints to play Higham at 7 with Orr at 6. I also thought that it gave Moran a bit more opportunity to back up from fullback. Moran's positioning wasn't amazing this or last week but he can't be expected to pick up an unfamiliar position straight away.

The thing is he did have the chance in the first half having made a break to pass to a Wigan player but held on to the ball. In the second he made the break and passed to the Quins player.

It is not the first time he has made these mistkaes and it is, IMO, down to his lack of awareness about what is going on around him.

Yes a player should have backed him up on that break in the second half but just because one didn't is no excuse for passing to the opposition.
