It is to do with the positioning of players inside Ade.
Very often he is left alone in a 2/3 on 1 situation because Longy, Flannery or Gidley have rushed inside.

That said, he looks very very low on confidence and is to blame for Richards try but it didnt really have an effect in the game as it was slipping away already.

Been a few weeks since he has scored isnt it? Maybe a couple of tries will pick him up.

Fact is Gardner can outjump him, as Blanch did. Had you had a side to kick to then the game may have been a different story.

Ainscough is a fantastic prospect, but scoring four tries does not give you a divine right to play. If I was dropped by my coach and told to work on something, then I'll work on it, not say "but what about such a game, I scored" Ainscough isn't the person saying this, fans are. He may score tries but a winger agianst you lot HAS to be much more than that. Especially if Gidley is running at you.

It's a massive decision choosing our back line at the minute. Someone who doesn't deserve to be dropped has to be dropped, and it ain't gona be Pat.

I suggest you find out what your talking about before you starting criticising the coach who out schemed you.

No he aint an idiot at all.
what he eant was it's easy to blame Gardner , but the legend that is Graham(MOS) is falling far short of where he should be.
Perhaps if he stopped beleiving his own press kept his gob shut & got back to playing Rl he would be better off.
he questions every decision squealls when he's tackled, accept it & play the ball. i know he's a crackin playe & i'll get slaughteres for this but so what,

What is absolute bullocks is this insistence from the Goons that they are somehow better than us and that Noble masterminded the best ever RL performance at the weekend. What actually happened is that a Saints side running on empty were as flat as a pancake and Wigan capitalised on it. We would probably have lost to any side in SL at the weekend, bar possibly Celtic.

Saints looked really weary from the off.

St. Etrigan has got it spot on in his/her post.

Gardner don't know if to drop back or stay in the line coz the other team always has 2 man overlap.

Does he drop back and leave a massive overlap?

Does he join the line and number up but risk the kick?

It all boils down to our outside defence not numbering up.

At least if he is the line, Wellens is in behind, covering the kick.

Don't know if you ever played the game but wingers are taught at the age of 7 to drop back on last tackle.

In the modern game they at times drop back on 4th.

Wello can't cover rite behind the winger as he has his own ground to cover.
