Great result with a lot of positives in the first match of the season. Today’s game the players looked alot fitter, faster and sharper. Forwards looked like a pack who can get you out of the are own half with 5 big drives or look skilful with the ball in the other side half. They also look they can bully side in defence few big hits was going in. Backs looked a lot better than last year to, shenton had some great touchs and looked like he can link up with gardys well. Sol looked better in centre the seconds he would be more dangerous running down the flanks. Leon looked comfortable today playing with young half backs, wheeler linked well with him and should start there if kyle is not available. Also Meli should be binned off and foster should start on the wing.
I hope we can play that attacking rugby like the old saints a few seasons ago, we played some fantastic plays with more risk taken witched payed off with a high confidence level round the field. I now its early to say in one game but if we carry on it the way we played in attack we will be a massive force.

Actually for at least 12 matches and when a decision is being made, being able to watch the screen is very much a part of watching what is on the pitch. You will find this out should you make it back to Superleague.


There is a better ground with better facilities at Leigh. But Saints chose Widnes. Perhaps because the no.17 bus goes there.

So 12 of your home games will be on Sky this year? Lucky you, seems like alot.

I go to alot of SL games thanks, know all about the big screen. I just see your point as a major side issue that isn't really that important on the grand scheme of having somewhere to play this year when your club messed up having a stadium ready in time. You think Leigh's is better, that's your opinion that you're entitled to.

If we get into the playoffs and make it to the Challenge Cup round before the semis then feasibly yes. But that isn't the point. The point is that a lot of Saints fans can't see the screen and Saints are paying rent to play there for the season. That doesn't apply to Widnes because their away end is the East Stand.


Then try it yourself for a season and see how you like it since you think I should be ever so grateful! (I would be if Widnes were paying the rent for us! )

Most of you have been moaning that the Stobart is too small yet you think Leigh is better.

I think Leigh is better yes but I haven't been moaning about the size of the Stobart. I've only been moaning about the positioning of the screen. That's all there is to moan about so far as the Stobart is concerned, for me anyway. I like the Sports Cafe at the Hobart.
