SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: Top Saint "A lot of good half backs could not ball handle. Schofield and Hanley being 2. They were both excellent at backing up and devastating runners but their passing game was woeful.'"
Hence the reason why Graham Lowe moved Hanley to loose forward, he was was never a half back. This then allowed a pair of real halfbacks (Edwards and Gregory) to perform with Hanley running off them. |

Edwards wasn't much better. He made his name backing up the real half backs. This is actually my point regarding Lomax, He wouldn't need to be a ball playing half back if he had a decent half back partner. Jonny playing with an Andy Gregory type half back would be devastating. |

Lomax has neither Edwards pace, kicking game or rugby nous. |

Lomax is playing in the halves at an age when Edwards was getting trampled by Mal Menninga at fullback. |

At Lomaxs age Edwards had played for Great Britain, won two Challenge Cups, a League Championship, a World Club Championship, two John Player trophies and three Lancashire Cups (if my old mate Bilko is correct) wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=361
To suggest that Lomax (and I like him as a player) is anywhere near the level that Edwards was at that age is ludicrous. |

Playing in a full time team, surrounded by internationals, playing against a league full of part timers. The modern equivalent of Saints or Wigan playing against London Skolars. If he didn't look good in that side then it would have been god help him!

Not true at all. And you know it, or should do. I've disproved it so many times on here. Wigan were the second team to go full time. Read Andy Gregorys book. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

[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]

Aye lad, twas all better in my der.
Come on Tommy Martyns injury record puts Wheelers to shame.
As for Gaskell, I would like to see him get a chance to become a better stand off but at the very least he should be in the 13. Maybe he can be a Karl Hammond style loose forward. |

I stand by my comment that he would make a decent centre. |
