A win would be a very pleasant surprise.

But as journey sang "don't stop believing......"

We go across more in hope....

....and in the practical real world.....what's car parking like there please ?

We park on the small housing estate WA9 3EH and walk across from there

There's a free multi story just across the bridge.

Thanks

Is it free? always thought we paid a quid, maybe my memory is going in my old age !!

There are a couple of car parks near police station in town centre not far to walk to ground. I think they are free after 18:00

murphy is back on the wing

brough returns

mason gets a chance at prop maybe, cant do worse than other two so give him a shot

I want to see Sam Wood replace Mellor at centre who has been poor. I think Stone feels the more time spent there the better he will be, but how long can we afford more poor performance for??

Mason has got to play this week.

When Symonds is back I want props to be Rapira, Taai, Ikahihifo and Mason but until then will have to be Rapira, Ikahihifo, Mason and Wakeman or Clough

yeh good shout with sam wood, im all for that instead of mellor, stone certainly seems to stick with them once picked.... wakeman and clough as props who werent performing.. then again you need someone to come in and mason may was injured, now hes back

I think this week will show whether stone has the bottle to drop non-performers. Or if he has his favourites who bring him his coffee each morning.

..........know what you mean Brearley !

(i think)

no leroy ... mason also on bench

oh dear

sam wood will get a game then!

No Brierley and no Ormsby,get the feeling RS does not rate these two very much at all, now they are just squad players.Both on long contracts too.

yeh but we need a squad, good ones to have to come in

no ruby for saints tonight, helps!

No Leroy, no taai,
Big misses.

Didn't miss them at all, the replacements played very well

The young lads have been awesome all year! and the majority should be playing every week now. It's the more experienced players who have under performed in my opinion...

Massive confidence boost coming back from 14-0 at HT, this performance has to be used to kick start the season now. The next game is a huge one!

When I saw the side he picked with the inexperience in it I thought we'd get walloped. So as it turned out credit must go to RS for a brave selection.

Got into the arm wrestle well enough, but the old story unable to put points on the board, then let the opposition take control. Same old script. But luckily the heads didn't drop, kept battling away and at last the tide turned. The 2nd McIntosh try from the Brough short kick was an A grade bounce for us, but about time we had a bit of luck. Shame Broughy couldn't land the conversion, but credit to Fartown right at the end,I thought we'd blown it when one of ours coughed the ball up coming away from our sticks but somehow managed to stop what seemed would be the game winning one pointer.
Commentators were praising Brough & Gaskell for a dual kicking game and also some of Danny's defence jumping out as he does,good reads to close the opposition plays down.

The Radio Yorkshire commentator,who sounded like a Lancastrian at the same was was slagging off St Helens,calling them boring,unimaginative,one out & saying you wouldn't blame their speccies for not wanting to fork out £25 to watch the dross they were serving up. Quite amusing was that.

Quote ="jools"Saints fans reactions here. Some interesting comments about our side... https://youtu.be/daeVChVBSzI'" Personally Jools I agree with the lot of them. I believe we are the worst team which will go there this season (including Widnes). I think presently that was a game of 2 of the worst teams in the competition. I don't think Cudjoe was a miss whatsoever. I think we still have major issues out wide but that was addressed in the 2nd half .... I think the fact St Helens were so so poor had something to do with that though. St Helens fans I spoke to said they've never seen a team as slow as our backs for years after the game. Nevertheless a win is a win and I didn't expect anything out of the game and we got a point so im happy but there is still a way to go. We have to improve alot more to beat Catalans on Wednesday though. Positives were Gaskell and McIntosh who was excellent - McIntosh should have done better for that Fages try though and Wakeman I thought had his best game yet. Id even like to see Jared Simpson on the wing against Catalans if hes fit. For Cats id like to see Taai in for Ferguson (who is garbage) When Mamo is fit move McIntosh to the wing to replace Murphy When Symonds is back - move Ollie Roberts to the bench. When Bruno is back Move Taai back to prop!

I also still think we need to win one if not BOTH Easter games to make or have chance of the top 8, lose both and we should be preparing for middles 8s and resting the players who have little injuries such as Jerry etc getting them 100% ready for the middle 8s.

said elsewhere the first 40 was basically a story of same old, cant score and usual mistakes

but fair play to the lads for turning it around! much better 2nd half and the confidence built.

st helens are a poor team.

mcintosh could have done better when letting fages go round him, but he made up for that with two tries!

mellor needs to be dropped, does nothing, sam wood has to replace him!!! please.

lets hope we can continue that 2nd half into next week now... big game against catalans..who seem better away from home this season!

wigan was a point lost, st helens was a point gained, with cudjoe and taai missing too, certainly felt like a win

Just a bit surreal that these two guys were marquee signings of last year,now they struggle to get into the side.

No doubt their time will come.

mamo could be playing on wednesday, symonds maybe monday
