[QUOTE="St Helens RLFC, post: 106848"] I don't think we're going to sweep the board again. This season, for me, is bringing through some of the kids and seeing how good they are or aren't. We have a big job on at the end of the season as we decide whether or not to retain or replace Long, Cunningham and Sculthorpe. At the moment I'm undecided on all 3. They have been the spine of the decade of destruction we've had but they are all the wrong end of their careers now. Some big calls to be made. I think we'll win something, hopefully the Super League, but we're not as consistent as last season. I'm not getting too worried yet as there is no shame in losing to Hull whatsoever as they are a good team but we weren't great at all on Saturday. Hull were short of confidence and belief going into that game and I think we should have given them a pasting. Give them their due though they tackled us to death and stopped us doing the basics. We lack punch since Paul Anderson retired and we aren't as dominant in the pack as we were last season, which is of course having a run on as we don't force repeat sets enough. We're also making a lot of horrendous, basic errors and our defense has been relatively poor. We need to work hard and start doing the simple things right. We have a tough run of games to come - we need to ensure we get ourselves set or we're going to miss the top 2. We'll need to find some consistency as it is. [/QUOTE]
