Quote: Mugwump "Solid, workmanlike performance from the lads tonight. Once again, credit must go to the much maligned (in lunatic quarters) Saints pack which set the platform on which all else was built. Stand-out players were (in no particular order) - Lomax, Jones and Perry.
50+ points in bad conditions sounds like a decent performance. But Bradford must take the prize for worst team at Langtree Park this season. How tragic to see the Bulls, one of the greatest clubs in modern history and our most serious rival for nigh on a decade, reduced to what I can only describe as lower division standard.
But it's not just Bradford. Aside from Wigan (who whilst exceptional in this competition are only so in comparison to everyone else including us) I haven't watched one outstanding performance from an away team at Langtree Park. It's like we enjoyed ten to fifteen years of steady progression in standards since SL's inception which peaked three or so years ago. Since then the trend has been inexorably downward. I mean, it's saying something about the paucity of entertainment on the pitch when the arrival of Jamie Foster nearby signing autographs instilled more happiness among my two kids than the entire 80 minutes.'"
Fair comment, but reading the this forum after all 3 wigan defeats we were painted in the same picture as you are now describing Bradford.
We can only play what is in front of us, as did Wigan. But we never suffered the same score line.
