Quote ="JonnyBroad"Does nobody else just think waney was playing it down a bit and not getting carried away???? Nobody in there right mind wouldnt want players to make more yards??? I might be wrong but lets be honest it wouldnt be the first time comments of this nature have come out, he once said matty smith was not going to saints when we knew all that he had signed a deal. Some people just look for negatives, them same people where probabl whinging after 20 minutes yesterday saying our attack’s not good enough ect... when in fact the first 20 destroyed hull kr’s fitness and patterns. Lets be positive, we have at least 25 genuine super league players available for this week. Saints played 16 out of fridays 17 yesterday, that tells me they have not got much behind there 17. I wouldnt swap our squad for anyones.'"
Jonny I agree with the majority of your post particularly about the Saints squad. I would have liked Woods to have got more of the ball and take the line on a bit more but Im sure that will come with more experience and growing confidence.
I must admit I played the Radio Manchester interview a couple of times and SW seemed to be saying that he didn't want Hamlin to be playing like he did yesterday which if correct is particularly disappointing. I wish Clubb & TT could play like Hamlin. Hopefully you are right and SW was just trying to play down Hamlin's debut to keep his feet on the floor.
A reasonable start to the season and the next 4 games I think will tell us more about our potential to be in the hunt for trophies.
