3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Quote: The Chair Maker "In the past there have been many dull games, however the one thing that kept you watching the game was that there was always the chance of a great try to liven up an otherwise dull afternoon or evening. Quite often that would happen against poor opposition as Saints would be able to break from deep and score what looked like a cracking try, even though it was scored against paper thin defence.
Tonight however we saw a side quite happy to kick the ball on the third tackle, play for territory and penalties, force the turnover, then fall over the line from 10 yards out. It was more akin to rugby union tactics, than traditional RL.
The fact these tactics are good enough to ensure a top 4 league finish is a shocking indictment of the league at present.
Teams should have to win matches not rely on the opposition giving away penalties and dropping the ball.'"
Strange how fans of different clubs view things isn't it.

| Quote: SomersetSaint "Daniel Anderson took millwards entertainers and turned then into defenders. Yes there was still plenty of entertainment left in the players then, but he started the shift to boring rugby. Potter took it further, Simmons never got chance to do anything other than fight injurys, rush has steadied the ship. I see nothing from brown to suggest he will play entertaining rugby'"
Anderson added steel and structure, we were still entertaining and more importantly winning. Under Plodder we were so dreadful I was close to not renewing my season ticket

At their peak did you not think Hudds played entertaining rugby? I thought they played some stunning stuff.

They challenged the Goons for the title of the greatest grapplers.

| Quote: SomersetSaint "Can anyone really link entertaining rugby to gates?'" Saracens just convinced 41,000 people to go to wemblely to watch a regular league game against Leicester. The result was a stunning 9 all draw (that's 3 penalties each).
No, brand of rugby is down the list on what get's people through the gates, I reckon.
