I agree it was an outstanding effort and you have to really feel for the players, they gave it everything. I just found it frustrating that they didn't attempt a drop goal when they had the opportunity. If it misses fair enough, but at least have a pop. Whether it is Myler who takes it or not, just have a go when you are in such a good position. Even Dwyer managed one a couple of seasons back.

In fairness Dwyer was extremely lucky it was a ridiculous play.

Very lucky but if you don't even attempt it you have no chance.

That sums up why Myler has never been good as the main playmaker. Any halfback worth their salt should take control, get the ball to the middle and have a crack at a drop goal.

Agreed.
Even if Myler doesn't take the drop goal himself, at least guide the forwards into position to give someone else the best opportunity.

Just watching the game back, how’s Walters not scored that try before halftime?

He didn’t seem to stretch his arm out at all, that was a missed opportunity

Sounds like a gutting loss.

Seen some very disjointed highlights and can’t understand why sangarre try not given.

Hope Newman and Gannon are not too bad.

Well I'll probably get flak for this so what... while people bark on about effort this and effort that and effort effort effort, and yes we did put in the effort, BUT this is a professional sport and as such is a results driven game, decision making through the game was way off, whether that was a brain fart from the player at the time like Mylers stupidity (And I like Myler) or what he's told to do by Rohan Smith I do not know. 6 wins from 13 can't look good on Rohans CV.

But the teams been criticised all season for not showing effort in for the whole game or not showing effort at all. This game was full of effort and the reason it’s been praised

They both won't play again this year unfortunately. How Harry gets through this one I don't know but knowing his character he will.

Re: St Helens Home. : Sat May 27, 2023 6:32 am  

Great game where the team gave it everything - no supporter can ask anymore.

It’s the distribution he gives which I think adds most value.

Is Tet back next week we could really do with him?

Never thought I would ever hear anyone saying that!!
