Chill , he is a young lad and he had an off day in a team full of off days. We all know he has mistakes in him but tonight was a bit of a mare. He still has more talent than Dawson though who was also terrible

Our pack isn't as good as saints fans think. Some idiot on here keeps banging on how good it is yet was demolished by a make shift robins pack.

Spot on! Look at the way they performed against South Sydney (yes i know different quality) but these backs are so poor its unreal. Not one is international class ( i love Makinson and he will be a St Helens great) but he is too slow and small for international rugby league

Our pack didn't go missing, we had total domination of territory in that game, and time and again our forwards got us within 20.

The link was absolutely dire and we looked clueless on attack. Burns either couldn't see or too busy fighting and Wilkin was invisible. Epitomised with Hohaias lame kick straight into Kelly's hands.

Demolished ? how exactly was it demolished ? we constantly made it in to Rovers half. Not at there best but our forwards where far from the problem tonight

Correct, we have relied on our forwards and tonight it has caught up with us. Our lack of pace in the backs is worrying.

Bad 80 in all areas for the lad but if he scores the winner next week it'll all be forgotten.

Plenty of others were absent tonight, in particular Flanagan.

Don't agree at all mate. We didn't get demolished in the forwards. Territory in the first half was ridiculously in our favour. We gifted them their points.

We made a lot of uncharacteristic errors tonight. Our set completion was woeful. But our pack didn't get demolished at all.

We have plenty of pace in the backs. What we don't have is halves who bring them into play.

I don't think the pack did well enough given the size advantage and their complete lack of a bench. But it did do enough for a normal side to win the game. We just cannot do anything from inside the 10, they look lost. So far this season we've been lucky, teams have made mistakes and shot out of the line and we've strolled over several times. That didn't happen tonight. You defend your line well against Saints and you win, it's as simple as that.

If Luke Walsh is fit, he should play next week, the sooner the better. Burns needs him and can then go back to his natural game.

Demolished? Nah, I thought Rovers did well to stay in the game in the first half, the Saints forwards were gaining territory with ease, however, the halves and the backs looked like they couldn't create anything. Yes, Rovers were committed but Saints really were toothless in attack.

Other than Walmsley and Mose in his 2nd spell, none of that pack could break thru a paper bag. We busted up down the middle 3/4 times also.

I was little OTT using demolished to be fair. I think we should have really hurt them down the middle considering they have more or less all the props out.

After all, it's the best pack ever to play super league isn't it ?

I definitely expected better mate I'd agree with that.

Very poor across the board tonight.

Spot on.

Thing is our forwards are work manlike and gain ground (which they did constantly) we dont have a Sam Burgess etc.. who will make constantly make breaks and be a threat. Our forwards did there job imo. The backs need to go.

If Burns doesn't Fire we look poor in attack. We Defo need walsh back ASAP.

It's not even the best pack Saints have had in SL.

I agree, some of our backs ain't up to scratch and we lack a player who can beat a man and not need a pass to make a break.

The pack should have done better mate. They had virtually their whole pack out injured. We did make meters but we didn't bust them up. It was work manlike but not agressive enough in decence tonight.

We just don't have players that can make breaks and that always worries me.

Nah, I think thats a bit OTT, we haven,t met a team who has been better than the Saints pack this season. We just couldn,t get into our A game today, our kicking options was shocking, like to see the stats on errrors, Walmsley knocked on about 4 times today. The Hull KR pack just played a steady game whilst there backs scored mostly from kick plays.

If we can keep getting 6 wins out of 7 with half the back line missing, then I,ll take it.

You know I'm being sarcastic right ?

Our pack is good but by no means Is it a great pack. It's hard working but Imo nothing special.

I wouldn't be surprised if we are totally dominated next week.

Of course, the comment was directed at whomever is was that said Saints' pack is the best ever in SL

I would. Wigan's front row is only a couple of notches above gash.

Who has a better pack in SL at the moment? The supposed nearest contenders were Warrington but we comfortably dealt with them last week.
