Quote: SaintsFan "That doesn't wash anymore. Leeds are now 4 points ahead of us. Had we not managed to scrape a win against the Huddersfield under 10s a few weeks back, they would have been six in front and we would be third. We've been on the slide for a few months and it is only because the season has ended now that we can state we are second in the league. If Hull KR win their match this weekend, we are second by one point, I believe. Hardly something to be impressed with! Another couple of games playing as we did tonight and both Hull KR and Huddersfield would have overtaken us. Good job the season has ended tonight. We can keep a modicum of delusion as a result.'"


But the season did finish tonight, and we are 2nd in the league and we did reach the Challenge Cup semi-final, therefore we must have something about us, otherwise there is no way we have finished were we have. You can be as negative as you want, but the simple fact is, you don't finish 2nd in the league if we are as bad you make out we are. You don't fluke it, over 27 games.

Agreed, but you do finish 2nd in the league if you use the first half of the season to get most of your wins using a method of tatics inherited from the previous coach. You then start employing your own tactics with very limited success for the second half of the season and manage to hang onto second place.

As a Bulls fan, all I can say is:

Thanks, thanks a lot.

Not.

By one point.

Good job the season finished today. We can delude ourselves into thinking we actually deserve second spot!

I know, is it me or are you still second? Try swapping place with us for a season, then you can have something to moan about.

We were expecting such a season: next year though, not this.

I wouldn't read to much into last nights game, early on we tried to play fancy stuff but the passes didn't stick. On another day they may have done.

I think we were trying to get a big score in case there was any chance of Leeds slipping up.

Once the players realised that Catalan weren't going to roll over they knew it was a pointless game.

It's a clean slate next week, everyone fit, we just need to win two home wins to get to the grand final and then see what happens on the day. icon_wink.gif

Quote: Saint from Prestwich "I can't remember a season in which there has been so little entertainment in home games.Potter can not motivate and has no tactics other than drive up the middle.Some barren times to come.'"


Ive continually banged on about potter, ant one of us supporters could have done his job in the south of france with loads od aussies, hes not up to it, totally void of ideas, no tactic's, , no defence, and while we have him no Bl**dy hope, he sits there like a bl**dy cardboard cut out. Now the wizzard is coming back to leigh so why not steal him from them again?
On a serious note I dont think I will bother having a 600 mile round trip plus hotel fare any more all the time we have potter, I made that decision driving home last night, so I will just support them and watch them when they are on sky or what ever, I will return when potter goes.

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg

Catalans did play well,cant hide the fact that we were embarassingly poor.
Another entertainment free eighty minutes from us again,unfortunatly that had nothing to do with how good the opposition were.

To be fair a few of us laughed hysterically when Gardner dropped the kick to him in the 2nd half. It summed up the night. icon_lol.gif
