Saints may have won but have a very poor performance almost playing one man rugby but our tackling was equal to it.Even Walmsley struggled.Feel Frawley for whom I had high hopes should be given a ticket home. Anonymous once again.

More mackintosh bashing



Well of course the full back is always the scapegoat. Coote threw a couple of passes into touch- but saints fans weren’t calling him were they?

Let’s ignore the try saving tackle and skills on show yeah.

i have praised mcintosh on many occasions and wanted him to sign a new deal asap



but yes he has had two bad games since he signed his new deal... most fans see that... and yes he is still learning just stating a fact, get over it no bashing.

No it’s an opinion. Not fact.

A bit like your opinion that mellor “lacks” in defence.

Put simply Mcintosh is not a full back, he is a winger. A full back would not take a blocking position for kicks he would stand back and observe the positioning of the attack so he can defend if ball is not won,



I like Grix and would rather have him as full back but too late now, but if he is teaching mcintosh to take the position he is taking defensively, there is something severly wrong, or is mcintosh ignoring what he is being told?

If he was ignoring the coaches I don’t think he’d still be picked every week

boring

That’s an odd thing to say about a player.

difficult to drop someone with no alternatives for that position.



perhaps ignore was the wrong word, forgetting the position he is playing, i.e., keeps forgetting he is not playing on the wing

Scott grix could play instead, the seniors also play fullback. But yes I think forget is a better way of describing it than ignore. Yes, I agree he’s not always doing the right things. But FB is the most technical position there is. There’s a lot to do and think about and it needs a good brain. He’s young and still learning the position. And I think that the club switching his position back and forth hasn’t helped

When he gets it right it works!

It’s not usual for your fullback to have more try assists than your halfbacks- so he’s getting it right sometimes.

I think he will get there. I’m willing to be patient with our youngsters as they are the way our club will survive.

I agree we need to be patient and these young players will be fantastic for our club moving forward in the next few years. Also people need to give Frawley a break hes still only a young man 23

I can see glimpses of good stuff in frawley- but it’s just not often enough or consistent enough and there’s a lot riding on him. we are in a position where there’s no one to mentor him.
