I don't have an English Language degree though.


You'd have to explain the humour to me though as I'm not as bright as you.

Well whatever title your poem analysing comes under.



That's quite evident.

When we going out then?

I can talk Royce all night!

Whether or not they were is totally irrelevant. They are paid professionals and fans turn up to support them. They are paid also to work for their boss, which on a day to day basis is the coach. James Roby is the best example of a true professional: he works his butt off in every match no matter who is the coach, and he has now had three or four, I can't remember exactly when his debut was. He's the only senior player who didn't come new to the side this year who I have any respect left for. The rest didn't deserve their pay cheque for the first seven games.

I don't include the young guys in this (Wheeler is still a young guy to me and he has been outstanding all season).

I'm getting nowhere with saintsfan so I'm off for a wee and then bed.

post of the decade!

Pathetic. And before you ask I have a Law degree from Leeds University.

Anyway, Josh Jones.....

Surely playing Josh Jones worked. Or was it my imagination that the score was 20-0 at one point.

How it can be called a risk that did not pay off is beyond my limited understanding. Another great win from the texts I've got and these are from people who are not keyboard warriors or people who wanted Royce out.

I'll go with the opinion that it was another great win rather than this feeble battle of some post-Royce justification blame project.

Seemed that there was always a problem with Wheeler and Jones was always going to play.

For me it was a great decision to play him (as the risk paid off really) he did go for Hodgson's dummy, but they had a man over so it's understandable for him to have taken it so easily - although I have seen experienced players take them before!

To take him off when they did was brilliant coaching, it wasn't rectifying a mistake (as alluded to above

) but it was reacting to what was happening at the time in a period of Warrington dominance.

SaintsFan: The players didnt agree with Royce's style of play and monotonous out the back predictive style of play he enforced. I have it on good authority senior players asked for more licence to play in a less structured way and one senior player in particular shot down. LMS made reference on interview last night to enjoying rugby again & been given the scope to play and the squad have responded. We were modelled on West Tigers style of play which didnt suit us & was becoming predictable...we never looked like scoring at times.
Longy was critical & voice his opinions just before the sacking...and thank god, nice bloke but Royce was turning the likes of Gaskell & Lomax into one trick robots.
Criticise the players all you like but that clowns pig headedness cost him hid job, the change of style has brought a change in attitude but in any job you need to be enjoying it. I know i was bored senseless at times this year.
