I'm not particularly bothered about the table early on, if the necessary improvement is shown it will take care of itself. We have a run of games coming up that will give us a much better indicator of how we compare to last year than Friday's game, as disappointing as it was to lose it.

For example, starting Saturday night, can we show that the defence on Friday (for the first 60 minutes anyway) was no 'one off'.

You were 14-0 up after 50 minutes! How many teams were 14 points ahead of Saints last year. Mentally you were poor, after Saints pulled a try back, you didn't pick yourselves up again and when Saints got their second, there was only going to be one winner.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but hasn't Mike Setphenson played for GB in a World Cup winning team and coached a side to the Championship as well as playing with distinction in Australia. Stevo's bufoonary and fake-contraversialism is just an act. Who would you suggest replaces him, an ex-player who knows the game, like Johnathan Davies?

Replace Eddie Hemmings with a proper commentator like Jon Champion and replace Stevo with either Terry O`Connor or Barry Mac. The current dross has run its course, it sounds out dated and it doesn`t do the image of our game much good.

And?
And if it is just an act as you claim then why should we settle for a plank who goes about his business in such a manner?

And anyway, your opinion is irrelevant after the tripe you spouted about Millward the other year..... You know what I'm referring to....

I'd go as far to say they are as damaging as Eddie Waring.
