If it's not a word, it should be. Saints once were THE iconic rugby league club. How the mighty have fallen.

Can you tell me what you mean by creative halves? It’s an expression that’s thrown around in here a lot, but I’m curious what you mean in this context.
The game changed and we did not, players, staff, coaches, you name it, we stood still whilst the top clubs progressed.
Me also tho a couple less years than you. We diehards have to have not only resilience and devotion but a smattering of masochism..
Skill with ball in hand. A maker of plays, a good distributor with the ability to go to the line and position a support to run into a gap, throw a long ball to an unmarked player or a deft chip kick over the defense. Our blokes crab across field and look clueless which throws the supports off kilter too. Only the odd occasion when the skipper runs to the line does he look dangerous. Reason we need a clever playmaker at 5/8 and we dont have one at present.
Do you mean the same Widdop that kicked when we had overlaps or kicked into the legs of players?
The best attacking kick in the past couple of weeks came from Amone. It had no chasers.
You can make as many personnel changes as you want to add spark but nothing will change until Hook gives the players some poetic license. The only person allowed to do anything at the moment is Hunt. The rest are robots who will not do anything outside of the game plan for fear they will be dropped.
Sua Bird Molo Suli Mcgui all new recruits and among our best all year NFI
Surely it up to the playmaker to create the shape, movement and structure. If not them.. who then.
Not putting them among our best. McGuire has added some impact in attack but not in defense. Falls off too many tackles. Pray tell what has Bird done. He is in a playmaking role and he was not even in the comp's top 50 for try assists last time I looked..
I for one have been moving on for the last 12 years and Im always hopeful of our very next game, but I wont forget about it and would like to discuss my POV with other members of the forum that may share the same thoughts or even different ones, after all everybody is entitled to their own opinions and a discussion forum is that platform.
That’s on the coach mate. The playmakers can call the shots, but they can’t explain an entire movement in one or two words, which is all they have time for.
You talking about someone that can do something extraordinary to change the course of a game. Do we have one. Think not, that is why we need a clever boy with ball in hand to perhaps create that game changer.
The coach and players can work on set plays at training but it is the clever improvisor on the field that is the game changer imo. I see Junior with the individual skills if he was given the space to perform them.
The clever improviser on the field still needs tools to work with.
..pretty much what I meant.
So who do you see as the game changer type.
