Same 21 as last week.
I can see a similar 17 to that that played at magic, perhaps Wilson /Bruno and jonesy to come back in if fit. Drop ashworth- his defence was awful. 11 tackles made 6 missed. That’s just not good enough and saints will have a field day.

No Lolohea tonight & set to miss the next 3 weeks after rolling his ankle playing football with his son.

He'll be a huge miss, not only tonight but over the next few weeks

Young Pryce steps into his shoes at FB.

It's hard enough playing Saints, at Saints but you just can't afford to make the mistakes we're making, that's 2 silly lack of concentration that has led to them scoring.....what makes it worse is they've been down to 12 men since the 15th minute

Re: 21 Man Squad - St Helens : Fri Jul 15, 2022 8:19 pm  

You take Lolohea out this team & we are utterly clueless

Re: 21 Man Squad - St Helens : Fri Jul 15, 2022 8:52 pm  

Pathetic

Can't even defend against 11 men

Re: 21 Man Squad - St Helens : Fri Jul 15, 2022 9:03 pm  

Utter garbage, what an embarrassment watching that tonight was.

They've scored 7 points with 11 men on the field, we were outclassed from minute 7 to 80.

In future, please ban Lolohea from football as he was a MASSIVE miss tonight.

We do not have enough quality to win games like that, certain players have hit their ceiling, and no matter how good Watsons coaching and game plans are, we have to have more creativity and quality especially in the halves and outside backs than we have at the moment. Unless we get incredibly lucky (which we did at Wembley and STILL didn;t win) we have no chance of winning games v Wigan and Saints as we simply do not have the quality of player required. I really worry that our recruitment for next year seems to be already completed without strengthening those key areas

I’ve always said pryce isn’t as good as the hype surrounding him. He’s nowhere near the finished article and if he goes to NRL now he will be found out massively. His defence is poor and his decision making isn’t there. He has the raw skill but the rest of his game is nowhere near yet.
King wasn’t even supposed to be playing, we weren’t expecting leutele to be injured. He also took a knock and played much of the game against saints with an injury himself as with jezz going off we were down on numbers.
I agree that Innes needs to back himself close to the line, his height seems to go against him and he seems reluctant to dive low for the line, but he has worked on other aspects of his game such as in the air so I expect he will do the same here and improve.
Down to our last 18 is bound to be tough regardless. It’s not going to be any easier at Catalan either.
