Saints fans need to step up to the mark. This is what's said about our half back partnership by other fans, Wigan at that! Don't know why it's so difficult for saints fans to see, after the quality play Gaskell has put in. The personal comments are disrespectful and pathetic. I think most people on here don't get rugby, with the crass comments. Could go on and on listing his qualities and attributes but would sooner watch them unfold over his long and fruitful career as a profesional rugby player.
It would be fantastic if Wheeler stays fit and is in the squad more, but come on, lets show some respect, whilst it's ok debating and discussing players, some of the stuff on here needs reining in. Gaskell and Wheeler are mates on and off the field, and I'm sure wish each other well, they certainly wouldn't be coming on here!
Unfortunately, what we have in the team, doesn't seem to transfer to some supporters. If you still can't work it out, it's loyalty and respect. Another rant, but hey, came on here after 'a certain other site' was full of **** and it's disappointing to say the least when reading some posters crap. Here's the link:

apologies if someone else has mentioned this (can't be bothered to read 11 pages of replies, sorry).....over the last 3-4 games I've seen Gaskell play I've noticed he's a bit of a "one-trick-pony"....he attacks the line, throws the dummy and goes alone...everyone's sussed him now and he needs to mix it up a bit IMO

Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.:Transparent Backgrounds/Kermit%20the%20Frog.gif |

| Quote: Cragganmore Kid "And he's not just a kicker, as seems to be levelled at him frequently. It's a natural skill to be able to find the try line with such regularity. Ainscough, formerly of Wigan, has it but has frailties which negate most if not all of the positives of his try scoring ability.
Foster, IMO, doesn't have these frailties - natural finisher, outstanding goalkicker, solid enough elsewhere. Top player.'"
This! All of this! Foster will become a point scoring legend for us, injuries permitting. |

When all is said and done, had we not knocked on under the sticks when going over in the first half, we would have gone into the break in the same situation as we were in when we played Leeds at Widnes
Poppycock.
Saints wasted 40 minutes, playing too conservativley. The injuries didn't undo you, your 1st half performance did.
Leeds had better field position, made more metres, more clean breaks but had 1 try to show for it. Had saints played in the first half it's likely you'd have been going in ahead. Add in your first 20 in the 2nd, you'd have already had leeds beaten by the time shenton went off.
I don't see the injuries as unlucky, more punishing a poor 1st 40 minutes. You can't expect to only play for 20 minutes and win.

Yeah, and I noticed Leeds really took us to the cleaners too. The situation at halftime was one knock on short of exactly the halftimes situation when Leeds came to Widnes. Had Dixon not knocked on, we would have gone in evens. So were Leeds playing 'too conservatively'? In the second half we were all over you and our young halves were growing in confidence, particularly Gaskell. Had our three injuries not occurred, there was every chance we would have gone on to win the game.
