Quote: Lawrie L "Its nice to see Saints fans have already started celebrating winning the league'"
If that's what you see then you are living on another planet.
What is actually there is a bunch of fans who can't believe their team has performed the way it has over the last two matches. Most if not all Saints fans were expecting a mullering by you lot at Knowsley Road and we definitely did not expect to nil HKR - or anyone ever again. Our first half yesterday was played without one handling error and without one missed tackle. If we had converted all our tries, that first half would have been almost a technically perfect piece of RL AND beautiful to watch. Now there is no way I or most Saints fans would have believed that possible from Saints a couple of weeks ago. We were misfiring and had been for about 18 months, regardless of where we ended up in the league or that we stumbled to the GF thanks to a dodgy decision over a Longy haul into touch against Wigan.
The reason I said to back to back to back that the 'we beat you in three grand finals' just washes over our heads these days is because sometimes there are other things which are more important. And, just now, seeing my team perform in a way I was starting to think they never would makes me feel incredibly happy and I basically couldn't give a how many times you'd beaten us in a grand final. It no longer matters!
Isn't that nice? I think so.
You mean he dinged Leeds for not playing the ball correctly?
Very few SL players play the ball correctly. But personally I have no objection to that rule being enforced. Even if it had been yesterday, you would have still seen a quick PTB because both teams play that kind of RL. Justin Morgan has stated publically that he prefers two man tackles to gang tackles. Normally HKR play that kind of RL and can compete. But they are in a poor run of form just now and so although we played very well, we were made to look even better by HKR's poor performance.
