think our forward matched saints

that wasnt our problem

scoring was, the hookers were the two poor performers

although smith went unnoticed in the game! walne was back from a calf injury but not best true

I’m not sure how you can blame the hookers!
Our players were losing the floor in the tackle and weren’t getting a quick ptb, your hookers can’t make things happen with a slow Ptb!

The problem is if you have half a dozen players not performing you will never beat a team like Saints.
Smith and Walne were non existent. Roberts was very poor and really needs to step up. Mamo, Ikahifho and Leeming are clearly nowhere near their best which is probably down to an injury hit pre season so you would hope to see some big improvements in the coming weeks.

true... smith and walne were poor.... walne off the back of an injury... could see wakeman come in for him but again hes coming off an injury and not played since world cup!! hard one

said for a long time ollie roberts is wasted as a starting second rower, all his best performances for me were coming off the bench as an impact player, just being asked to do too much in defence now and taking away his attack, but its not his fault.... symonds is supposed to be our starting second rower

agree with the other 3..should start to see them back to their best soon, early days

big 3 matches coming up all winnable

Roberts 6 missed tackles and only 41 metres made with ball in hand.
Walne only 3 carries Smith 5 and Ikahifho 6 really not doing much work. You have to suspect Ikahifho is nowhere near 100% fit yet.

Yes too much reliance on Ta’ai Clough Hinchcliffe and Ferguson.

Dan Smith has shown nothing at all since he’s been here could do with Lawrence, Symonds and Wakeman back.

Second game this season that we have not put the points we should have on the board for all the pressure we created.

Mamo won’t get an NRL contract unless he stops making big mistakes be interesting to see him and Scott Grix head to head on Friday.

Gerry needs Leroy back as do the team both for his centre play and setting Gerry up and his go forward.

Tough match on Friday be interesting to see if we respond....

Interestingly with the talk of lack of impact from prop, Matty English was named man of the match for Dewsbury at the weekend.... We could do worse.

rumour is mamo is off to sydney roosters

seems to be going very well in the championship.... great stuff, let him continue to improve there for now

yep like i say roberts is doing too much tackling, being targeted to stop his attacking threat, get him off the bench!
