I have supported wakey for 37 seasons Blaymire is one of the better fullbacks we have had Les Sheard being the best maybe Spencer 2nd can't think of many better after that

TBF to Blaymire he made one mistake that I can recall, he was left hopelessly exposed on numerous occasions as saints poured through gaps in midfield and out wide, but still was in the right place at the right time to snuff out a number of dangerous plays by saints.

Why people are criticising Blaymire when Kevin Penny performs like he has done tonight is frankly beyond me.
We need Penny out of the team not Blaymire

I like Matty, apart from tonight he usually has that goalkeeper quality to him (not the cat joke please) but I just think Murphy has that Wellens/Briscoe quality to him and he'll only get better.

100% agree there.

that last try penny gave up the chase on the 40m line while wildie chased all the way to the try line.

I'd rather chew my own leg off than do that - I don't care how many times you've said it's still a load of rubbish.

You have it wrong fella, I'm saying don't support the crap and make do. Demand better like MUFC fans did in the early nineties when Fergy was coming seemingly to the end of his tenure. I'm sure Kear would also make a good taggart for head calling.

Was out of position in defence numerous times and we never get him in the gap to utilise his pace, so he offers us nothing. In most cases it isn't even that he needed to cover for Dean as he was there. He just seems to get attracted to the ball carrier and has no sense of where the opposition winger is.

I liked the idea of Penny to track back when they broke the line ala Danny Brough but Penny just couldn't be bothered once he reaslied he's not as fast as he once used to be. Maybe the fitness regime is all wrong at the club, who knows?

Agree he made that one mistake under the high ball, which tbh should have been claimed by either of the 2 players who were right next to it, he came from deep and had to make about 30 yards and from the looks of it the ball curvered in the air.
Penny so far is a waste of a wage, he's terrible in defense and is out of position most of the time, which puts pressure on his team mates. He seems to have very little rugby skill, except for being quick which isn't enough at this level.

Think is he aint got a clue of where to be. The last breakaway try was a classic example. Before he gave up 40m out, he ws running in a straight line paralel to the saints player whereas if he had run diagonally with his pace he would have stood more chance of getting near him.

I must also be a fool as I've never been a fan of Blaymire either. In fact, you shot me down on another thread this week for saying I felt Blaymire was dodgy under the high ball.

Yes, and your point is?

I have what wrong, I replied to this
and this

Nobody round here has said 'Oh at least we tried' or any similar lines, we all want better, but we have to be realistic, with the team we have and what the club has been through.The players will know they played poor and it's probably about the worst game, standard of play wise this season.
I don't think on any planet Kear will not be telling them, where they went wrong and what there going to work on to get better.

My point is constuctive criticism can do wonders. Abuse is not warranted but a kick-up the is most welcome!

get penny off the field please

I agree and after tonight they will be getting it.

2 crucial mistakes tonight. Had a stinker.

When stood in goal and tried to shoulder Gaskell? and got bumped off he simply should have covered the ball.

Overrun the bomb and hashed it leading to a try.

That said defence is usually Matty best attribute but I'm sure he was more disappointed in himself tonight ( and shouldn't be the only one)

That said saints were class and used the same moves as last week. Roby quick scoot and onto Graham, then paleteua, then scarsbrook then wide if we didn't crack.

We failed tactically and in the class.

However let's not bag players. I'm still supporting, saints are class and it could be a different story vs cas next week

Yes im afraid that for me speaks volumes about the player and his desire.

Not the type of person you want in the trenches with you.

your way out of line with that comment

an opinion has been made and you insult that person as if your be all an end all of rugby league

there we go again, lets insult our selves until we haven't any one in the stadium

its a long haul get used to it

Who is "we" ?

Yes he made 1 mistake last night but many others made more mistakes and after last night maybe "won't run" could be directed at another player and not MB.

its not after just 1 mistake you clowns 4 years of being slow . HEs a steady player but not super league class. Hes failed to quicken himself up over 4 years i call this lazyness !!

with that pic, I'd like to see you do better!

I'm not MB's biggest fan but jumping on him re last nights performance is extremely harsh.

Yes he made a few mistakes but he wasn't the only one.

We were simply outclassed by an excellent Saints team, one we could learn a lot from.

10 out of 10 for effort yet again but we simply offered nothing going forward and we just could break them down and they eventually steamrolled us of the back of intensive pressure.

Lot of positives to take out of it but still so much to work on.

It is very harch having a go at Matty IMO. Yes he dropped 1 bomb but that is the first 1 i can remember him dropping in a very long time and anyone who was at the game last night would have seen that that bomb was swerving all over the place.
