Saints more than likely score if Donaldson isn't there, that's the reason for the card

Re: SL RD 19 | St Helens (A) : Fri Jun 21, 2019 8:51 pm  

Common theme again. Put some decent halves in there and we would have gone close. Watkins im afraid is garbage. For his sake im hoping hes saving him self for nrl otherwise he'll be back before season end.

Over to you GH. Sort the halves and we stay up comfortably

It was Myler being a twonk again giving away a stupid penalty in the tackle which led to that position.
Half back may keep us up this year: hooker, prop, the other half for 2020 and we’re getting somewhere.

Yep agreed. Then again Dwyer sneaked a nice try. He’s just rocks and diamonds like some others.

Dwyer is a 10 minutes here 10 minutes there player for me, Parcell should start.

At the end of the day we were never going to win this; we are miles behind Saints in every aspect right now and were not disgraced so no point dwelling just move on and make sure we are ready for upcoming games we can win if we apply ourselves.

Not a bad night for us actually. We showed some spirit I thought, even looked competitive through most of that second half.
Wakefield and Hudds losing is big. Neither are safe and it might be one of them we’ll need to leapfrog by season end.
Salford winning might be big in another way for us, fingers crossed.

Ronnieginger is absolutely right he gives no impartial feedback. However he didn't lose the game for us tonight.

Decent showing in the second half. We're still a long way from being a decent side, but the efforts there and we look capable of defending most of the time

I just hope Ward can stay fit, when he’s back put donaldson/Sutcliffe in the second row, im sick to death of seeing Ferres in a Leeds shirt, weve got a great centre pairing and the are getting nothing from the men inside them Ferres kills the play dead every time.

Walker looked rusty early on but I thought he outplayed Coote in the second half

Re: SL RD 19 | St Helens (A) : Fri Jun 21, 2019 9:56 pm  

I thought Coote and Smith were poor for Saints. Walker was excellent from minute 2.

I only saw the second half but just in general I have to agree on Ferres. He adds nothing offensively running out wide and just slows the attack down. I’d rather we skipped him out and got early ball straight to Hurrell.

Ferres should stick to driving it in rather than trying to pretend he’s a ball playing second rower just because he waves the ball around with one hand, usually just before he either drops it or puts a rubbish pass in.

Again, having only seen the second half, I thought our kicking game was poor again. You can see what Sutcliffe and Myler are trying to do but their execution is very poor. It just eases the pressure off instead of applying it further.
