Powell's 1st big mistake...
Powell's 1st big mistake...
Roberts is absolutely awful at full back. Doesn't look fit, error prone and couldn't organise my sock draw. It was always a risk but the weakness of our back up options could prove to the 1st real mistake Powell has made.
We look a mess...

100% agree. Well and truly backfired.KB80 wrote:Roberts is absolutely awful at full back. Doesn't look fit, error prone and couldn't organise my sock draw. It was always a risk but the weakness of our back up options could prove to the 1st real mistake Powell has made.

this was always likely to happen and tbh we look so disjointed set up like this.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
Looks like it will be a tough year, could never understand why we brought Ellis in rather than a specialist full back. Last 2 LLS winners have ended up in the qualifiers and the alarm bells will start ringing when Widnes beat us next week.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
What was he doing with that 40/20?
Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
Defensive line; no speed, like a dog's hind leg - shocking
enthusiasm - shocking
Kicking game - shocking
Roberts positional play - shocking
Mike McMeeken - shocking
Shocking, shocking just ......shocking

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
Why we recruited so many average players when we could have signed Mead, which would have solved all our problems, is a mystery to me. Losing patience with Roberts in any position, fast becoming a liability.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
I have some sympathy for Powell here. We couldn’t go out and get a new full-back because Zak’s situation isn’t resolved yet. We have to consider the possibility that he doesn’t get a ban.
Unfortunately, there are two people to blame. Roberts, who has the ability but is just lazy. He can’t be bothered to get himself in the right position. And Hardaker, whose stupidity means we don’t have him and can’t sign a replacement.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
Because if Hardaker isn’t banned, we’ve then got two players who expect to be first-choice full-back. And we are over the salary cap.Jonny1975 wrote:Why we recruited so many average players when we could have signed Mead, which would have solved all our problems, is a mystery to me.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
Shows how important a top class fullback is....

Lynch and Monnas salary would have not been far off covering Meads wage....nottinghamtiger wrote:Because if Hardaker isn’t banned, we’ve then got two players who expect to be first-choice full-back.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
It’s his fault he’s too lazy to return a 40-20 and too lazy to bother changing direction with play on the last tackle, allowing a rushed grubber kick to roll through for Saints to score.Lofthouse Tiger wrote:Its not Ben Roberts fault he has to play at full back.
It’s not a lack of ability. It’s a lack of effort.

Re: Powell's 1st big mistake...
That money is likely to have gone on improved contracts for the likes of McMeekan etc. If they left everyone would be moaning about not keeping our best players.....ERG2012 wrote:Lynch and Monnas salary would have not been far off covering Meads wage....nottinghamtiger wrote:Because if Hardaker isn’t banned, we’ve then got two players who expect to be first-choice full-back.

And been carried over the line by a centre 10kg lighter to make that 3 important tackles missed which have resulted in saints tries.....nottinghamtiger wrote:He did make it to a kick before our full-back though.ERG2012 wrote:Well Meeks needs to start earning his improved contract
Off form so maybe a rest might be an option. We're not short of backrowers
