You really think it was wise? Especially next to Meli who is leaky on the wing (as indeed he was again tonight - I am so surprised Warrington didn't relentlessly target that edge, although possibly not so surprised since they played poorly).'"
Ah i was waiting for this one to appear and oddly enough i knew it would be you to bring it up,yes they scored on the flank and yes Meli was infield,but watch the replay,Wilkin shoots out,Jones goes up and in if Meli stays on the wing there is a gap you can drive a bus through,what do you want him to do in that situation ? Its more a case of poor numbering up and awareness from Briers at the ptb.

I watched the match on TV to start with. I saw what happened. And it always does with Meli. I stopped making excuses for Meli after Grand Final number three.

So you would like Meli to stand out on the wing and leave a 10 yard gap between the next man ?

But if you want to be understood in the written medium you need to learn how to write in coherent sentences. Masters degrees count for nought on an Internet forum.

I don't think it was wise to pick him tonight and was pretty big risk.
I'm not sure what happened with that selection. I got txt the team Thursday night and sia was centre and TP was loose forward but got a txt at about 7pm tonight saying tp out and josh jones in the centre.

Can you check to see if she is really Rogues Gallery? She comes across as very bitter considering we just put in a great performance to beat the top of the league in their own back yard

TP pulled up with a leg injury so perhaps it was late on today. It would have been less wasteful of a bench space and more productive generally to shift Meli into the centre and put Makinson on the wing. We could have had a field day with him on the edge given the amount of space Warrington gave us.

I even had that thought during the Leeds game last week. I could picture everyone up celebrating but saintsfan sat there unhappy.
Royce has gone, life goes on!!!

I am drunk but that's nothing new.
I'm not laughing at you, I find something's you say funny, bitter crazy but I do respect this is a open forum and people share different opinions.
Also, I know you are passionate (sp) about saints and deep down your truly great person that I could talk to face to face about Royce Simmons all night and never get bored.
Any chance of that date yet?

It stopped being about Royce per se before the match against Leeds. I lost respect for some of our senior players and I'm finding it difficult to support them.
So I'd probably end up talking about the wonders of the English language or something, and drive you to drink that way instead.

And an English Language degree counts for very similar in the real world.
You should take a step back and read some of your posts at some point. You'll have a right good laugh.

Do the results and manner of play now not suggest that some of those senior players were on to something ? Its a fine line to tread between percentage football and the completion rate scenario that we have seen in recent years to the offloading flair attack we have seen in recent games and it seems that line wasnt one that Royce could tread.
There were inherent problems with Royce this year and that has been covered to death,even if the senoir players had of stepped up we lacked a gameplan,the halves to carry it out and a coherent team effort and that particular buck has to stop at the door of the coach.

Whether or not they were is totally irrelevant. They are paid professionals and fans turn up to support them. They are paid also to work for their boss, which on a day to day basis is the coach. James Roby is the best example of a true professional: he works his butt off in every match no matter who is the coach, and he has now had three or four, I can't remember exactly when his debut was. He's the only senior player who didn't come new to the side this year who I have any respect left for. The rest didn't deserve their pay cheque for the first seven games.
I don't include the young guys in this (Wheeler is still a young guy to me and he has been outstanding all season).
