| cross and kite started up front for us today , both of whom have fitness issues , so it only makes sense that we only have one prop on the bench. We did however have two hookers on the bench so that the in-form jon clarke could start. What wonderful managerial skills. DOH

| You've just come up a division and signed a few cast off's from other teams. Your gonna get a fair few tonkings and a handful of wins. What were you really expecting?
It wasn't that long ago that Huddersfield were the whipping boys...and Catalans too. They've stuck it out though and have slowly built excellent super league sides.
I know it's not pleasant but just be patient and be glad you're back in the big time.
All best!
(From a Saints fan)

| It cannot be pleasant watching your team get tonked week in week out but the fact is the system we have in Super League makes it very difficult for a team winning a franchise to assemble a squad good enough to compete in the timescale allowed. If you really thought you were going to be competing for the top 8 in your first season back then you are very misguided.
Probably easy to say looking in from outside but you need a degree of patience and accept the fact it may well take the 3 years before the next franchise application to build a team that can genuinely compete most weeks.
See you on Saturday !

No-one thought that we'd be top 8 - NO-ONE!
But the standard of RL, from a fully pro squad, is atrocious. We are getting, not just beaten, but hammered week in week out. The two home wins are looking more and more like some strange anomaly.
Fans just wanted to see a well organised team defend well and show a bit of fight and spirit. What we have is a total shambles that is conceding record defeats.
The atmosphere, amongst the Widnes fans on Monday, was the worst I've ever known. It was like a morgue. The Bradford fans were noisy and e enjoying themselves, despite what their club is going though. We, on the other hand, are plain sick of the same old . People are clearly voting with their feet, as we only got a crowd of 5,600, with about 1,000 Bulls fans in attendance. If you think that is bad, and it is, wait until you see how many turn out against the Saints in the Challenge Cup game.
Betts is out of his depth and incompetent. He needs to go ASAP.

I hear what you are saying and having only seen a couple of your games I'm not in a position to argue with you, if your watching week in week out I respect what your saying. What I would say is that your gaffer can only play with the squad he has and on paper it looks pretty weak. I just think it will take you another couple of seasons to get competitive. When you get promoted at short notice your left to recruit from the scraps that are left and perhaps some of the squad retained from the lower level simply cannot cut it in the top flight.

There's more than enough there to be staying in touch in the games most weeks. Maybe not winning, but giving a good account of themselves. Most of our players have both Super League and or NRL experience. A couple of hammering's here and there would be understandable, but it's nearly every week. Go and look at the league table and check out our points against total.
Wakey were in an even worse position than we were, but they are at least competitive. What I am seeing is inept coaching and a lack of fitness. Defensively, we are literally all over the place. The ruck area is a mess too. This is down to coaching. It has very little to do with the quality of the players.
Like I said, fans are starting to vote with their feet, and that is very dangerous for any club. I have no doubt, that with a more experienced and proven coach, we could get the players we have firing. Dennis Betts couldn't even cut it in the Championship, with the wealthiest club in the competition. This isn't his first season with us, and it isn't a knee-jerk reaction.
Dennis Betts is definitely responsible for this situation and, if he doesn't go soon, we will haemorrhage support. That is the bottom line.
