I agree it's going to be interesting if Hull KR and Leigh also run up a cricket score against Trinity as for me that should be the writing on the wall for a coaching change before the play offs for survival.

Strange how with some it is always the referees fault, or we have a few injuries, or maybe it is a short turnaround or some other cock and bull story. Never that we are just a poor side. I was there last night, the referee was equally as bad for both sides. They got the rub of the green first half, we got it second. We are just either massively under performing or downright not good enough, end of story. Same old every week, too many lame efforts in the tackle, too many penalties and too much dropped ball and a defensive structure that fails time and time again. Only practising defence in training he says? Well he is showing them the wrong things then. We are going backwards under Webster and he surely now has just two weeks to save his job.

I was there too last night and saw a team battling to the end but were just not good enough. Like I said previously we would struggle with a full squad let alone the one put out last night,…thats no disrespect to the young lads they were excellent. I saw us open Saints up on at least 3 occasions but just didn't have the speed to get over the line, I saw some great chase backs especially from young Johnstone and Lyne. Also thought Miller went ok at fullback, taking some good high balls. I will wait to see how we go against the likes of Hull KR, Hull etc with some of our injuries back before slating Webster.

From what has been said on here, it's seems FB is Millers best position for us

That position seems to be there for the taking to me because Hall is NOT a full back. I'd like to see him given a run at Stand Off.

Wildcats coach James Webster reckoned size was the difference, and admitted:"We tried hard, but physically we are nowhere near other teams.

"We struggled because of a lack of physicality. We are a small team in the middle.

"We did some things all right but the telling factor was two 10-minute spells when we didn't touch the ball and they scored 32 points.

"They just went bang, bang, bang, but we will continue to work hard and be up for a fight against Hull KR on Thursday

another few months of excuses excuses excuses.

As I said previously it wasn't a small pack we put out, our defence and a number of players desire to defend is the problem plus the coach and conditioner

It looked small compared to saints.

True plus they are able to rotate their big men to do less minutes,where our forwards don't have the luxury,only a matter of Time before a missed tackle.When you put a 18yr old on against a pack like Saints it's a daunting task,I know he did nothing wrong and made his tackles but he's a bit away from a 80mins second rower which is what you want,ie Danny Washbrook.We havnt got the luxury of strength in depth,like the old Chinese proverb,you fornicate with the tackle you've got .I believe I've seen improvement over the last couple of games,so hopefully a win at HKR. I also might be one of the so called rose tinted glasses wearing fans,but surely it must be better to find positives than depressing yourselfs with negatives how ever hard it is
