I'm sorry, but it really didn't. It had no positives at all.

I will say though that Eastmond, Cunningham, Roby and Clough actually played tonight. The rest went AWOL.

Gardner is truely awfull.

Probably, i was trying to get my point across, with emphasis.





I think the biggest disappointment is not backing up from last week.

So many of us came away from last week thinking, ok, we are about to click, that was much better.

Only for us to then turn in that tonight.

Maurie?
2 x 40/20's (both by different kickers)?
The spell of keeping it alive for maybe 9/10 passes on around 35 mins?

No positives? Not one?

Give over. You'll be the first in the queue for GF tickets if we turn it on.

Our attack last week was rubbish so I wouldn't call it a good display.

We have massive problems in attack. It don't matter how well a teams defence is, if you can't attack you can't score and can't will just as last week showed.

TBF on Gardner tonight, he was in try scoring positions a few times, but the last pass to him wasn't good enough and he always had to stoop to catch it, hence he dropped it.

I have to agree!

He is shizer!

And so was his service tonight.

Im talking about his defence aswell as attack. I'm talking about the funniest attempt to catch a bomb im my life!! I mean diving to the ground like a retard when not needed was pathetic.

His service looks poor because he is stood still recieving the ball. He shouldbe flying on to Didleys passes. Instead he stops and runs across field. Not good enough, Get rid!

I agree, he isn't good enough and hasn't been all season. His defence is poor, but several times tonight, it only needed a simple pass to him but the last pass wasn't good enough, you can't fault him for the passes that are around his boot laces. He wasn't out of position to take at least 2 or 3 passes, because he was in the right position as he was there to drop the ball, but the pass simply wasn't good enough. I don't even think it was Gidley, i can remember Flannery throwing 2 bad balls to him, that would have been certain trys had they been good passes.

Gardner is poor. But how bad are Jonny Lomax's hands too? The only thing he caught all night was a stray boot in the chops. A Super League under a bomb should get within 6 feet, he looked ridiculous.

I agree. I'm glad Potter took him off.

Where has Lomax been playing for Saints?

I suppose it's no excuse for constant knock ons but hasn't the lad been brought up as a halfback and when i've seen him in the first team he's been playing fullback/Wing. The same goes for Wheeler who again is a halfback who's been mainly played at centre and Eastmond has been shifted about at times aswell.

Obviously the last 2 have settled into the first team better then Lomax but it can't be easy trying to make your way in the first team in a position your not used to.

I get annoyed with Noble at times because he's reluctant to bring youngsters in unless he truely has to but when he does they tend to play in their correct positions. Ainscough on the wing, Tomkins at halfback and Flanagan and Mossop in the backrow have excelled this year but it must be easier to come in knowing your role and whats expected of you.

Lomax wasent that bad.

he had a nightmare to start with, but then settled, caught a bomb running towards his line, which is hard enough
