I've said it all year our defence outwide is worst it's been since the millward days.

IMO(ski) our 2nd rows ain't doing there job inside the centres.

All year teams ave took us apart outwide.

If gleeson gets good service next week we will have big problems.

We lost tonight by just not doing the basics right;

- Completion rate was abysmal
- When we did manage to get to the last tackle nobody had a clue what to do (epitomised by going from attacking their line on 5th to handing the ball over inside our own half one tackle later)
- Constant penalties and knock ons in our own half
- Defence totally disorganised

Spot on.

Terry Newton was m.o.m. by a mile.

He came he saw and he conquered.

He even had the audacity to go off and let Saints get beck into the game.

He than came back on to show the fat man how it should be done.

Would you have him back in all honesty?

Fat Man? Riddell watching the game was he?

No,
Although he did play well on Friday, but I believe he may be in trouble for the tackle that put Chris Dean in hospital.

can anyone confirm, it, I don't have the recording and don't remember a bad tackle so it may be hearsay.

Chris was taken to hospital after being sick, and had concussion.

To be quite honest, we were horrendous on Friday, pathetic even. However we were due to be rubbish at some point with the way we've been playing and it adds more evidence to the reality that Saints can only ever beat themselves right now. The saving grace is that Leeds lost as well so it is 'as it were' so to speak. Roll on next week and get back on the horse.

We have lost twice, both at home. Once when we aren't given an entire penalty in the second half and once after giving up a 26-10 HT lead despite injuries everywhere. We have lost 2 matches by the combined total of 5 points. It could be a hell of a lot worse.

it just shows how much gardener relys on gidley's defence and try assists.
i think all so we sometimes rely on T.P a bit to much.

How does Gardner being left with a three man overlap mean HE relies on Gidley in defence?

Saints were complacent.

I talked on our board today about how great sides like Saints get complacent once every few months whereas teams like ours get complacent every other week and think we've made our season on the back of a big win against an average side.

Unfortunatley i think we'll feel the backlash of this next weekend.

Complacency was there to see, but also think of the three games in seven days. It has thrown up some bizzare scorelines.

It was disappointing for us to lose to one of the poorest teams in the league, but we deserved to given the atrocious display of passing and silly errors that were evident.

If Bradford had a better hooker it could have been more comfortable for them.
