It's easier to bring in young players and give them protection and confidence when you have a good team, playing well and winning.
Much more difficult when you're struggling, your pack is getting rolled and the crowd are screaming abuse at the coach and team every week.
Probably a good thing that Sinfield isn't put in the firing line at the moment.

Congratulations Ryan Hall

Saints not out of 1st gear and absolutely cruising. If you can cruise in 1st gear.

How on earth has Moore given a try there? It was as clear as day he'd lost it.

Another big win for Salford.

Bet Rowley is sick and tired of every question being turned into his links to the Leeds job from now on in.

And St Helens if you read RedVee

RedVee is hilarious.

The millisecond something goes wrong.

I can still remember some of the best tin-foil hat theories stemming from that site.
The meltdown after we had the temerity to chib them at home with Austins drop goal was tremendous.

what was the name of the Scots Red vee poster who was on before the 07, 08 and 09 grand finals giving it large then disappeared for 12 months?
Stirlingshire Saint? something similar

Always liked the one who offered everyone out on here en masse in a fit of pique but we had to drive halfway to London at a services to fight him.

Fun times.

what a soft yellow. games gone mad

Tonight's game compared to last nights game was like chalk and cheese.
Great game to watch especially the young lads on show.
Delaney a teenager making 50+ tackles along with the other kids on show made it really competitive.
I`m no lip reader but when Walters dropped the ball in the second half I could have sworn Mat Peet said he`s fecking sh$t.
Anybody else see that?

he said it but not sure it was about Walters. Just swearing in general

That was the best rant ever.
It was a Cas fan (Disco ?) boiling his p155 after Cas got relegated
AP/Keith Swiftcorn was the master of wind ups back then.(I really miss his posts and it's a shame he's no longer posting anywhere)
Danny was also very good at ruffling feathers too

If anyone's saved any of the links to these classic old topics, couldn't we resurrect them all?

It would appear that significant injuries really do impact on a teams performance. Never the less, Wellens next out of the door?

We’ll overtake Salford (and maybe Saints). Feeling positive even though tonight I’m a 6 glasses empty kind of guy.
