I would. Wigan's front row is only a couple of notches above gash.

Who has a better pack in SL at the moment? The supposed nearest contenders were Warrington but we comfortably dealt with them last week.

He also said we could compete with souths pack

I'm not saying its a bad pack but it's certainly not head and shoulders above every pack in super league.

We ain't played Wigan or leeds yet, so we will see.

By 'Souths' did he mean London?

And Wigan fans are insistent that their pack is small, and lost to hkr by the same amount in week 2 when they were still on reminding each other their names. and Leeds pack had been dominated by Warrington the week before they played us!

Are we the best pack in the world? No, of course not, are we as good as anyone in this league? Absolutely. The pack weren't the reason we lost tonight, the links were.

Do you not think we should have really hurt them in defence and bust them up in attack down the middle considering they had no pack ?

I agree it was the links that cost us tonight but stop making out that this pack is untouchable because it's not.

They had the obvious game plan from minute 1 not to come up the middle. From the kick off they spread it. you can't hurt at them if they're not running at you! Even then they managed to clear out the links a few times. On another day and another pitch the link doesn't work and we'd of scored 50. In fact it was looking that way until Wilkin decided to give Kelly a free run. In defence, they scored 2 gifts, a poor take by swift and a terrible 1on1 attempt by Burns. What can the pack do in defence about that?

The back rowers could of helped the link create some space with some better angles of running, as the wide defence was closing us down far too quickly. And the front row seemed to try to do too much towards the end. They did bust them down the middle, we had 3 times more ball in the opposition 20 than they did! How many chances are they expected to create???

Swift as I have stated previously is grossly overrated. People have been misled by the fools in the commentary box linking his name with pace which tonight proved he suffers a lack of. His all round game is insufficient for super league and I would rather see Gardiner play before him.

The pack was not beaten by any means in fact they dominated but the halves could not capitalise on it. On the whole the players were too shallow and too close allowing the KRs defence to smother any attack with ease.

This
+1

Is St. Pete still trying to convince everyone the SL title winning pack and most judges' form pack of this season so far isn't any good?

I'm truely shocked by the number of people willing to lay into this team at the first loss.

6 wins count for nothing but the 1 loss suddenly proves everything about how terrible we are.

All that loss proved was that we can't go unbeaten all season. Warrington also lost last night and they were one of the favourites with us to win SL.

Leeds beat Wigan last week and neither team looked especially dangerous.

Maybe just maybe the teams are a bit closer than people like to think.

Swift was aweful, would I drop him based on that? No!

I'm just glad the coaching staff seem a little more level headed, because if some people in here were in charge we'd be a bunch of surrender monkeys the minute things did not go 100% in our direction. It's sport, you lose occasionally. Get used to it.
