Quote: fartown since 1961 "We'll surely Hull can't be as lucky as Huddersfield were last Sunday !!
You shipped 48 pts to a team tied for bottom place but I stand by what I said first game of the season it is one of the worst Saints team I have seen in over 50 years of watching.
Maybe it's from years of watching try fests and constant defeat at Knowsley Road but that sparkle just isn't there at the moment.
I'm not having a go it's just an honest observation.'"
Its all about high standards at this club which in the fully professional era is very much in high demand by the supporter base. There is also the style "Saints Way" of playing the game with or without high profile players. All the criticism last season and this season is our attitude, effort, commitment etc which is seriously lacking be it recruitment, coaching, players this is very much when we are winning as well as losing.
For the last 20 years Saints have been a top 4 club and the supporters are now sending the message out to the club that this slippage is not acceptable, Wigan and Leeds are now going through a similar scenario, the main reason is probably the quality of players available. The less profile clubs have recruited very well but they are not a good enough quality to raise the standard of Superleague.
For example I would like to see a better quality player playing this season who are superior than these who all played in the same seasonal era.
