This needs addressing.
Harvard and mago are our best go forward, but I do think Mago needs to be abit fitter.
I’ve always had my doubts about smithies and Byrne, Byrne has slightly improved I think he’s just a little bit slow.
Smithies would be better running out on the edges and not through the middle, Singleton isnt very good I don’t think.
Think we need to sign another prop, as well as cooper

KPP was taken ill on Friday with a fever. He was very sick 😟
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Agree about mago. I thought he was very good yesterday tbf and dangerous. He has those games tho and goes back to being average for a few unfortunately

Worth reading this from Aaron Bower in the Grauniad:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/ ... gan-hearts

Particularly his conclusion
There is no doubting this Wigan side are the biggest threat St Helens have faced in regards to their dominance of Super League.

That Saints were knocked out of the Challenge Cup by Wigan at the semi-final stage before the Warriors went on to lift the trophy in May underlined that, and this courageous effort emphasised it further.
Wigan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saints ⭐⭐⭐

Been looking on Serious About Rugby League, they put a request on twitter asking if Singleton should have been shown the Red Card 57% said NO. 😡😡

Interesting, for me there was one angle were it looked as though Singo led with the shoulder and thats the one the video ref went with. To me it was careless rather than deliberate.
