very happy Kyle's back

So obviously last weeks shocking performance was all Jordan Hand's fault !!

I'm glad he's been dropped

I think the lack of interest in the squad is an indicator of how we think this game will go.

Anything but a convincing win will be a shock.

That would be my line up. No point chopping and changing despite the poor showing.

It's a crazy decision not to go with Charnock or another of the young half backs for this game. Even if they only come on and play the last 20mins, at least it's giving them an opportunity with Walsh out. It's almost like Brown is unwilling to drop anyone other than Lance.

Sorry if it's common knowledge, but I've been off tinternet for a while. But where is our new signing McDonnell? Why is he not playing?

He is playing on duel reg this weekend as he hasn't played for quite a while.

surely wouldn't been a bad game to get him on the bench then , unless he's really let himself go in which case why have we signed him mid season?

Next week is a safer game still to bring him into the fold. A week on duel reg then a nice gentle reintroduction to super league the week after

Amor is coming in for Richards. I believe we may see laffranchi come in on the bench for jones but more of less same as last week.

Ha, you are forgetting your own name mate, bring on the shadows!!! Foster in our squad so he can engage his old mates in a chin-wag shampoo and set

Once again, we only bother playing 60 minutes ...

The second half was a absolute disgrace!

You could only managed two tries when our only two props were on the field, when we interchanged them for a ball playing LF and well, Fak'd I think is his name, then the tries came.

Saints defence for 60 minutes looked solid.

Roby then got injured and went off the field. Hohoia was moved to hooker,Turner stand off, Soliola to left centre and Percival right centre. The end result was a complete collapse in our defensive structure.

Positives for me was the performance of Masoe going forward, especially the 40 yard break he made.
Wellos 60 metre try. Percivals goal kicking. The return of Amor and Lafranchi.

Switched off again thinking the game was over at 40-0, the attitude and effort was shocking.
Play like that next week and London might scrape a win.

Left the ground with the feeling we had lost the game.

PS. Hick is a garbage referee.

No excuse. We had most of last season without Roby on the field. So it's not like we haven't coped without him before.

Flanagan should have gone to hooker instead of changing almost all the back line, bad decision by Brown.

Brown should of learnt from Stuart Howarth last season that if we lose Roby were snookered and brought in another hooker. Bad decision by Brown.

Another example of a side with no leader and weak coaching staff. That should never have happened. At 40-0 we were making metres horrendously easily and then all of a sudden turned soft. The players totally clocked off. Sure, the subs and positional changes didn't help, but it is definitely a team mentality issue.

At 40-0 it was easy to pick players to big up. LMS ran well, Mose was excellent, Percival threatening to score or break every single time he got the ball. But then when their comeback happened it spoils the mood completely and you leave feeling miffed. A well motivated side tonight would have put the hammer down and ran up a score. At just before the hour mark we were 40-0 up, Leeds were 0-0 against KR. Perfect, put the cleaners through Bradford and makeup 60 on the points difference. Instead, they collectively step back and we end the game with exactly the same winning margin as Leeds!!!

Tonight was a perfect representation of our season. At times we look very good. With a bench like tonight, plus Walsh, you could even start to dream about Old Trafford. But then they turn to jelly babies and you leave the game wanting to give them all a good shake.

It goes back to the whole culture of the club. Where Wigan are rabid and determined and ruthless, we're yellow bellied, spineless and vulnerable.

As for Bradford, a very spirited performance in not throwing the towel in, but some truly embarassing defending. Roby's from the messed up penalty start was farcical and Wello's was probably the most embarassing moment I've seen at a Saints game in 10 years. Not only the fact that he ran 60m to score, but the fact that he was passed into a gap you could have fit a Boeing into from a kick return and only one of their players got within 20m of him, yet the linesman outpaced both. Bar the mistake from the kick off he had a solid game again, but he's getting his angry, stroppy head on again, he knows there is a lot wrong at Saints at the moment.

That was one of the most frustrating performances of the season for me. I don't think I've ever walked away from a 46-22 win feeling so annoyed.

If the hooter had gone at 40-0 then there would have been a completely different atmosphere in the ground amongst the fans. We weren't brilliant but we did enough, scored some nice tries and kept them to 0.

The last 20 minutes completely ruined it. Falling off tackles, making mistakes, allowing numerous offloads in 3 or 4 man tackles. It was horrible to watch.

Sorry to say it but tonight has done nothing whatsoever to mend the mood after the Hull KR performance.

How can Wigan be so rabid and ruthless and you be spineless when your top? This rabid Wigan side you mentionhave lost to Wakefield, Huddersfield twice.

You've smashed Warrington and Huddersfield, beaten Wigan, beat Leeds with virtually half your team out. Not bad going for a spineless team (try seeing some of our performances if you wanna see spineless)

Saints aren't the complete package yet so you are going to have some inconsistencies.

I actually think you'll win at Old Trafford and it will be a great success as Saints are slowly building a team that can bring you success long term.

On the plus side, we can't finish below Salford now ...

That's how. League table means nowt.
