The first half was more to do with their poor defense than our quality attack, vica versa in the second half. That neither team could halt the momentum of the other and it was just a case of who made better use of that momentum. That really terrifies me for next week as Leeds are guaranteed to capitalise on 70%+ of their opportunities and there'll be nothing we can do to slow them down.
A 50+ score line is on the cards

If Catalans can get 40, then Leeds can get double. It's going to be a long night. |

So surely it was his job to make sure we were ready for this week.
This is a good tactic. Just say that the last match was the last match and that you are getting them ready for the next match. |

Just watching the replays now and it's making me angry more than anything else. Our defence was the worst I have ever seen it, McNamara really needs the sack. OUr inability to defend is going to leave us outside the prlay-off zone all season if it doesn't get better.

| Quote Bully_Boxer="Bully_Boxer"
Let's give one of the young guys a go. Ok Leeds at home isn't the ideal time to blood a young un but I don't see the benefit of having an out and out winger on the bench. I assume Crossley is fit, in which case I'd give him a chance to make a name for himself. Quite often a young player actually makes his name is such high profile games.'"
Crossley has all his confidence knocked out of him by mcnamara..3 times this season hes been promised he`ll be in squad and hasn`t yet..he wishes he had signed with giants like he was gonna do but macca promised him the eareth so he stayed..can see him asking for a transfer before long..why is kopzcak in front of him..for a prop he offers no go forard at all. |

Another issue to be sorted out is the way we use interchanges.
Once again, we saw nothing of Halley, Worrincy and Kopczak until the second half, in fact we hardly saw anything of Halley and Worrincy. I noticed that St Helens used all of their 4 subs in the 1st half against Leeds - constantly looking to freshen up their line up.
It was obvious that in sweltering heat, keeping the same 13 (14 if y ou count Scruton being used) for 50-60 minutes was going to result in people basically being knackered in the last 20-30 minutes. The commentators commented a couple of times as to how tired we looked
It's like the coaching staff don't really 'believe' in the bench, only using them as something of a last resort. Halley must feel like he was dragged back from Wakefield just to make up the numbers - he goes from starting for Wakey to getting 10-15 minutes off the bench for us.

Nicky Saxton; Ryan Atkins, Richard Johnson,Karl Pryce, David Haley; Mark Flanagan, Matt Brooks;Tony Tonks, Richard Dobson, Matt James, Ben Feehan,Anthony Szostak, Brett Ferres.
Thats our reserve squad for 2005. Worrying thing is that it looks nearly as strong as our first team at the moment.
BTW, where's Saxton at now?

Thought Matt James was out on loan for the season? |
