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.

Pretty much.

Some superb rugby league in spells from Catalans.

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.

i beg to differ, the way ade gardner tries to pick up and catch a ball is especially entertaining!

The had something Saints didn't last night, some pace in the side.

And some enthusiasm.

And they knew how to score tries.

And they read us like a book.

Strikes me that the Saints glory days are numbered. A lot of your top players are either gone, going or in the twilight of their careers.

Replacing the likes of Long, Cunningham, Sculthorpe, Joynt etc is always going to be hard, you've done well to have 13 years of success but its going to be a challenge to replace those players with ones as good. A period of transition is about to start - in fact its been going for a while. With luck you'll be better at it than my side but there's o denying it's going to happen and things will get worse before they get better.

Replacing Long and Cunningham is going to be a massive problem.

Hmm. I haven't read the entire thread, but has anyone else mentioned Long last night? Him storming off at the end of the game? From what I saw he didn't come over to the speccies, just headed straight for the dressing room....

Long walked over, aplauded the fans and turned down the tunnel.

Maybe he needed a ?
Maybe he'd took a knock and wanted to ice it?
Maybe he had to be somewhere?

He certainly applauded the fans.

Alright narky.

See my comment regarding the Saints reserves game today.

It is an observation.

Not so. We are losing Longy and Gilly (unless Kieron goes too). But we still have most of our 'top' players in the squad for next season. They just seem to have gone AWOL for reasons completely unknown to us fans.
