No. That would be Matty Smith.

Walmsley played hooker too

KC's after match interview seemed rather mardy to say the least, it was almost like listening to the ape.

I found the comments strange. I had no issue with our ruck defence. Problem was we were getting spanked out wide by Leeds' stronger, quicker backs: i.e. Watkins and two of their first half scores were unlucky on our part.

They opened us up in the middle way too much too. It was just a shocking (first half especially) game of Rugby from us.



@ Charlie Sheen - I didnt think he sounded Ape like tbh , I think he was just cheesed off at the poor first half performance.

KC's first major test now. Does he have what it takes to pull us through?

I'm not sure he can due to him not being in this situation before but I certainly think the players can.



We now have Burns ad walsh in the halves, we should have percy back next week so the players are coming back now.



Providing no more injuries to key players we will be ok.

We really need to start a game with more intensity and effeciency, we,ve had too many games now were we are sloppy in defence and attack with lots of occasions we don,t complete our first set. It makes you wonder games after the Easter Program how it effects teams more with respect to energy levels and how they can mentally adjust to it.



Its noticable for a couple of games now that we are not wrapping the ball up in the tackle, offloading in the middle is putting pressure on our outside backs as the ball goes out wide, teams know this tactic works against saints.



If KC can get the "team up" the way he did in the 2nd half against Leeds, then he should be doing this at the very start of the game instead of the risk of catch up rugby.

We will get through it. We have limped through a tough run of games.



Once Walsh is back properly and Percival returns I think we will be ok. But I do worry about full back. KC's big test is resolving that issue IMO.

I agree. It's something that I am concerned about now. We need some consistency in that area. He needs to either:



1. Bring a fullback in (my preference)

2. Play Hohaia there.

3. Play Makinson there and play a young lad like Fleming on the wing.



Whichever option he takes, I don't think chopping and changing is going to help anyone. If we can't bring anyone in then we need to decide on Hohaia or Makinson and give them a good run of games to hopefully find some consistency before the business end of the season.
