He'll be back telling people how wrong they definitely definitely are, when saints win a gf again, like he did last time after being missing for ages

He will be telling somebody somewhere that saints have the best pack in world rugby still

I do get what some are saying about generally falling out with the game, as a Hull fan of 30 plus years , I've seen great times and some really dark days. It isn't the team I fell out of love with, it is the brand, RL in general. The craft and guile has largely disappeared and you now have wingers who are the size of, if not much bigger, than props used to be. Players like Long, Topliss, Millward,Schofield and Gregory , to name a few, were entertainers, Matty Smith is by some regarded as the best scrum half our English game has and , with all due respect, would not get anywhere near a top team of the previous eras.
This season, despite my having a season pass, I have found better things to do than watch muscle "outmuscle" muscle, and Hull have had a great season , so I think I can sympathise with a lot of opinion on here.
For what it is worth, Saints still have a team in the upper echelons of SL, try years of treading water, under a coach and board that had no other intention than to milk the cashcow that some Clubs can be , through loyal support. It really does suck the life out of fans.

Similar thoughts, only watch the odd game on Sky Sports now. The game is far too slow these days, players are coached to slow the game down when defending by wresting to the ground interference at the PTB, penalty kicks to touch, goal line drop outs and scrums take a long time to complete, we also have too much questioning the ref on a lot of occasions. Then we have inconsistent weak refs who quite often change control of the game between the two halfs.
Warrington probably play the game the right way by keeping the game flowing and promoting the ball, whilst other teams its very much 5 drives and a kick to the winger.

Last night v Wigan is a prime example of why my enthusiasm for RL has gone. Two teams devoid of flair, which is true of nearly all SL teams now.

Only watched it on SKY for 60 mins, then switched to the Olympics for Team GB in the Ladies Hockey Final which had more excitement. For some reason Superleague teams are struggling with passing and catching skills its seems to be all kick and chase these days

Got to agree, if I am watching a Sky match I often turn over to another channel, for years we called Union kick & clap, now we are no better in fact other than the ruck you can see better tries scored in Union in many games. For too long we have been fed we are the Greatest Sport or Game but that is not completely true. Scrums are a joke, there is so much time wasted, water carriers are on the pitch more than some of the forwards at times,

I don't think many of the match officials help, those men who run up and down the line with a flag how they miss so many incidents is beyond me, I worry if they afraid of getting it wrong? then some referees want to be the best mate of the players, then some want to be the star, get sick of the shouting from them on TV.

Are you the fella with the Saints sticker in his car that I've seen around Trowbridge and Bath a fair bit?

That game on Friday night was dire. Wigan were rubbish and we were much worse. It's incredible that those two teams are sitting 2nd and 4th in the top tier of RL in this country close to the end of the season. And the team that's top (deservedly by the way) seems to turn out a 1st 13 made up of over 50% overseas players.

Yep, Friday was garbage all round. League has gone downhill since we've binned off the NRL coaches. It's like watching the Premier League but with Big Sam, Moyes and Giggs managing instead of Pep, Klopp and Conte.
