Changes For Saints : Mon Feb 04, 2019 11:58 pm  

If they were all as bad as each other against London and by all accounts they were, what does CC do now in the way of changes? Will he stick with the same team and give them a chance to redeem themselves? I'm interested to see whether Horo, Kirmond or Jowett will come in. Is Huby close to fitness? I think everyone is still in shock - the whole RL community seems to have been blown away by London's victory. I'm really hoping for a reaction and looking forward to Sunday despite yesterday. I hope yesterday was not a sign of things to come, we've improved massively these last 3 seasons, I couldn't take it if we started going backwards.

in relation to horo - we are wasting a overseas position for someone who can not make our 17...

get rid and buy a halfback that isn't over 50 years old we haven't had one of those for 10 years!

I’d put the same team in and let them make amends for that inept show in London . If they turn in another performance line that against saints we’ll have plenty of time to let the team know our feelings as they’ll spend most of the game under the sticks .
London surely has got to be a case of taking the opposition too lightly and not being up for the fight .
I’ve no doubts the team is fit/strong enough to take on allcomers I thing it’s more down to their mental attitude of which it’s happened more than once then disappeared....here’s hoping from a worried fan

I think making loads of changes is a bit of a knee here reaction, and doesnt always work, especially if that was pretty much our first choice squad.

Os Danny Brough facing a ban, if so, Jowitt to come back in and Rocky to go back into the halves. Never really noticed com until he got carded.

Apparently the ref carded Broughy by mistake and so there will be no ban!!

Thanks for the input, no seriously

In my considered opinion, the most important change for Saints is to play better - and CC can have that one for free.

Saints looked a few cobwebs away from being outstanding - they'll muller us - you heard it here first.

Hampshire at 7 , he is our best 7 and only one with the legs to get across in defense, Jowitt to full back, Miller or Brough at 6 , not bothered which one plays they were both awful at London , Arundel must play he is our best defensive Centre. Horo is a must, he is a tough no nonsense defender who reads the game well, his defensive reads were massively missed at London, he is also a leader on the pitch who is prepared to have a go at his team mates something Miller isnt prepared to do. Kirmond and Huby also should play. Horo should be made captain and the law to be laid down. Coaching staff should re think game plan with emphasis on learning to defend and keeping things simple,
