Quote: Rogues Gallery "As I have said previously, the three in the tackle and peel is a risky ploy. If the likes of Harry Pinner et al were still playing they would love it. Three men in the tackle and ball away, try time.
it's called creativity and something that is sadly missing from the run hard, run fast, run straight forwards of today.'"


Although that is a good point, I think that teams a better at neutralizing offloads than they were back then. It would have been nice to have a player such as McTigue/Pinner/Britt in there to find out.

Still, it will be interesting to see Wigan play a fully fit Leeds side this season, a team that offload more than most.

I'm not anymore. Catharsis by keyboard. Have you never tried it? I prefer it to getting drunk. icon_biggrin.gif

Who were McTigue/Pinner/Britt? I've never heard of them. Or I have but I don't remember them. And what did they do that caught Rogue's beedy eye?

Quote: SaintsFan "You see, this is why I say you talk bollox. Where Saints players are concerned, you have no idea. I wouldn't expect you to as you support Wigan. So you really are better not saying anything because you do look the biggest pratt in town when you talk about something of which you know nothing.'"


Comedy gold!

Quote: SaintsFan "If you feel better because I agreed about something which was a fact - that Saints players gave away lots of penalties (I have said quite clearly that they were without composure all game) then you go and feel better. I think it really is pathetic that you get a buzz from stating the obvious, but never mind. You are one obsessed individual anyway.'"


Comedy gold!

Quote: SaintsFan "And why you singled Cunningham out as not getting over the line I don't know. Did you all have a special celebration because he didn't score? He hasn't scored in other matches either, so what? I think you have a secret love for Cunningham, which is why you are so totally obsessed with him. Only someone deeply attracted but embarrassed by that could make such a fool of themselves over one man as you do over the King!'"


Maybe it's because the one thing he can do well, albeit not as well as Jimmy Lowes could, is the "Jimmy" from dummy half close to the line. But that's only because he weighs the same as a small car. Whenever a team played Bradford in the days of James Lowes, you can bet every fan was hoping their team wouldn't fall for it. I certainly did in the 2003 Grand Final. I hoped we wouldn't fall for a Cunningham one on Friday. We didn't. Yes, it's something worth celebrating, especially when he tried it so many times, and we clung on to win. To say I'm obsessed with the overweight, dirty, foul-mouthed has-been who has taken more than his fair share of beatings with the "Ugly Stick" is as ridiculous as you are.

Quote: SaintsFan "Oh, c'mon Rogues. Three men in a tackle is hardly creativity! It's just a lot of practice on the training field!'"


Missing the point gold!

Quote: SaintsFan "I'm a she, I'm a coach and I understand a lot. You mistake misunderstanding for not agreeing.

Although when it comes to Rogues' post, he wasn't clear on what he meant.'"


He was superbly clear, and if you're a coach I feel sorry for those kids.

Quote: SaintsFan "Does your coach encourage your players hands to be in at the PTB often than not? I don't believe this is in the spirit of the game is it?'"


I think this is a remnant from the days of Millward, not a Potter thing. I remember a Challenge Cup match during Millward's reign, St Helens vs Bradford. Bradford won the first half convincingly, but then proceeded to drop the ball a lot at the end of a tackle as Saints introduced this tactic. It wasn't impacts, it was hands in while a player was tackled on the floor, and they got away with it. If I had been the ref, I'd have been asking myself why this Bradford team was suddenly giving away the ball so often and watched closely for it.

This was an example of why I refused to support the decision of taking Millward on board, I don't want anything to do with a team coached by that pillock, even if it is my team.

Quote: SaintsFan "Please stop posting and just take a break, have a drink or go for a walk. You are posting when your all worked up and starting to look a fool.

Last night and just now I come home from pub and both times your posting rubbish. As a fellow saints fan, please stop posting until you calm down!'"


I'd tell you how much I agree with you again, but I'm worried you might call me a cock again. I don't think I can take that sort of abuse.

And yet, here you are again, obsessing about him.

You are one sad individual. You really are. icon_lol.gif

Fishta, I was drunk when I called you a cock, I did mean it but if sober I'd have put it a little bit nicer than that. icon_wink.gif

At this point mods may I suggest you lock this thread before the poor girl digs the hole any deeper.

The question about McTigue, etc, was a genuine one but no matter.
