Just one game in to the season and nothing seems to have changed from the 2nd half of last season.



The big question is where did it all go wrong? Is it potter......The players......to old.....to young......no pace?

All of those to a varying degree. Anderson knew when to get out.

That saints squad is still good enough to win super league as the aint many with a better starting 17.

You do talk bollox sometimes Rogues. Anderson was always going when he went. It was known pretty much almost from the outset exactly when he was leaving.

Although it was only one performance and injuries screwed up your bench rotation, your team is leaderless and lacks organisation, clueless in attack - forget challenging the likes of Leeds this season...

Pish, we have plenty of leaders out there, and the organisation will come. I'd also suggest that the majority never anticipated challenging Leeds anyway this season, as is evidenced in many a pre-season thread here.



Now clueless in attack, there you have something of a point. Although we saw glimpses tonight from young Kyle, players like Pryce (drop the shoulder and come back inside), Flannery (the pale Scully imitation), and Gardner (pretend to be ready to catch) need to develop a few more dimensions to their games rather than the one move/action they continually attempt.

the problem pryce faasavalu gardner poor now for two years and flannery along with wilkin go missing

I think the problems last night were many!!

Fitness- cant believe how tired we all looked. Quite a few players carrying a little belly. I know its the first match of the season but it was for Hull too. They looked far fitter and stronger.

Attack- Embarrassing!!!!!! one up rugby or pass to half back then inside drop ball. I just cant understand why so many really good players have been playing so poorly for so long.



We were beaten in every facit of last nights game. Hulls desire was there for all to see. Well done Hull, i enjoyed watching them last night. The amount of injuries we sustained and the fact we were beaten up for 70mins suggests our pre-season was very wrong.

Our brand of, 5 drives and a kick, rugby along with a lack of pace in backline is the main problem.

Thought your 5th tackle options were shocking last night as you had us pinned in our 10 plenty of times but the little kick to force a dropout never came.

We don't have a 5th tackle option under potter. We just drive it in until the ref shouts handover.

One word for me - Potter!



If Anderson came back tomorrow you would look a better side, yes there are problems in other areas but I just don't rate Potter.
