We need to find a way for these three to play in the same team.  The only way I can see it working is Seymour at 7 Broklebank at 6 and Aiye at 13.

A number of people have been saying on here that Broklebank isn't a 13 at this level he just dosent have the physical game.  Aiye is probably more a 6 than 13 but he can handle himself far better than JPB.

I think there are clearly issues over Seymour's fitness which need addressing but with the right coaching, game plan and attitude those three should be able to do a job for us.  It clearly hasn't worked so far but it's early days.

Think once Airye settles in he will be fine ,even town fans commenting on how got into the game the longer it went on .Think they just need time to gel..........as well as a pack to get them on the front foot .

Aiye looks like he will come good after a few games and shows abit of class. Seymour has not done a thing since he arrived & would benefit from losing a lot of weight. Brocklebank is to slow for a 6 so he needs to get stronger in the middle. Good half backs like a good go forward but that's no excuse against town. When we had the ball we looked clueless

What we need to be competitive
 
A good number 9

Winger that can defend

three props

half back

Get the impression the powers that be have seriously underestimated the strength of this division. It is painfully obvious to all, and must therefor be glaringly obvious to the BOD and coach alike that without forward power the halves cannot function.
I dont think there is too much wrong with the back division, but without the forwards getting on the front foot and putting opposition packs on the back foot, the whole bck division will be ineffective.
I dont know what is in the mind of the coach, bur he MUST know this and the club must act.
If it is financial constraints or the inability to attract quality forwards or both (it can only be one or the other) the club must come clean and let this be known to the supporters.

What if saints have an injury crisis? We slated the jam eaters for this lasts year! It looks to me like Deakin has just signed his old mates that done a job for him in the past, but this league has got tougher and them players have gone backwards

Carl Rudd wasn't the quickest but did a job for us at 6 Brocky is deceptively quick. Give them a good pack all 3 could be devastating but it all hinges on a good pack.

Having watched both games we need them players just to be competitive. Barrow are in the league below who tonked us with out there best player. Town beat us in there first game with a number of players missing.  I wonder what will happen when we play away to featherstone, Halifax, Bradford . It might be an idea to make the team up of locals and save the cash for next year.
