MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
This is gonna be funny...

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
Ahhhh nevermind. I still remember the days Saints and Sean Long would put 70 past us at Knowsley Road. At least we ain't that bad.
Fans would be seen doing conga around their ground back then.

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
Saints were good and we were poor. But form is always temporary. Last season Saints blew everyone away, but didn’t even make a final. These days, it’s about winning enough games to get to the knock-out stages and then playing well in the winner-takes-all games.
In 2017, we did what Saints are doing and didn’t win anything. This included putting 60+ on a Leeds team and beating them 3 times in the regular season before they beat us in the grand final.
Nothing is won in March. We’ll win enough games to put us in with a chance come October. The key is to make sure we perform in those games. It’s never nice to lose, but it’s not season ending.
And I wouldn’t fancy playing us next week.

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
IMO fans have every right to have a pop tonight. We've played the top 2 teams in the league, the 2 teams everyone keeps saying we need to compete with and we've been well beaten on both occassions. Its a case of were better than the teams below us, but not good enough for the ones currently above us.

I’m pretty sure Leeds supporters thought the same in 2017. They were miles behind us at this point that season, but won the grand final.westerbeast wrote:We are miles off Saints and Wire, play them now or the Grand final we lose.nottinghamtiger wrote:Saints were good and we were poor.

Not sure how anyone can predict who will be in form by October. Saints crumbled last year after bossing the regular rounds.

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
agreed NT, I don’t like it but the current competition structure almost makes form and results at the early part of the season meaningless. It’s a competition where a team can finish 5th and be 10 points plus behind the league leaders and still be called Champions.

Cas will be no where near a final this Year unless there's some new players added to the centre/wing position and quality players not make shift.

We wanted to put a real marker down tonite and we have. Saints and Wire are in a different class to any other sides in the league.
We just can't compete with Saints power and pace and lets not forget this isn't a one off it happens time and time again.
Lets look forward to our next dose of realism at the Magic Weekend.

Saints won the LLS in 2018 but didn’t even make the GF, getting beat in the semi final by the team who finished in 4th - 15 points behind them in the regular season. Again, that’s just a fact.
In the current format, you need to be in those knock-out games at the end of the season and then peak.

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
The players didn't look like they believed they could win from minute 1 in my opinion.
Tonight was a big game,to show our big game mentality... but we mentally crumbled.
Can't imagine many will travel to Anfield to watch a repeat of that in May to be honest.

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
Its not a meltdown ....its clear that we have a mental issue in big games especially against Sts.
We have been beat 12 of 15 home games against Sts....our record against them is plain to see ...... Cas are mentally weak ..I would go as far as saying we are beat before a ball is kicked the majority of the times we play Sts.
I dont understand why we play so well against every other team but constantly put in embarrassing performances against them...and boy did we bottle it again tonight

Re: MELTDOWN IN 5,4,3,2,1 AANNNND GO...
Think you'll find a lot of tries scored in the corners these days so backs defence counts a lot. Don't see many forwards doing try saving tackles in the corners.the machine wrote:Can't keep blaming bad performances on the backswesterbeast wrote:Cas will be no where near a final this Year unless there's some new players added to the centre/wing position and quality players not make shift.

The spaces out wide come off the back of saints dominating us down the middle. Quick play of the balls meaning players having to push in thus creating space outside. In my opinion the team as a whole weren't cohesive and saints are a benchmark which we aren't near.

Would you rather lose this game and be average all year but do something at the end or win all year and do naff all at the business end?
It’s how they respond that counts, while since I’ve felt like that at a game tho!
