| Quote JonB95="JonB95"You are the most spoilt, selfish bunch of fans I know, and I support the same club. You are complaining after winning by 30 clear points against a team on a 3-game winning streak? We did what we had to do.
If you don't like rugby league, don't watch. Some of you in particular have complained after every single game this season about how ''boring'' it is, no intensity, Super League is crap, blah blah blah. Shut up. Rush is doing what he has to do to get us into the top 4. Our lads delivered 6 solid tries and you complain, so I would like to see you all watching Broncos or some other bottom of the table side every week. King Nathan will deliver the beautiful rugby league you all crave. I promise.......'"
Happy we conceeded nothing, listened on Wish FM and even they couldn't understand why Silverdud blew the pea out of his whistle.
I for one am looking forward to the playoffs as I'm hoping it is where Saints show the eternal "realists" on here that they are fully focused on a 7th consecutive Grand Final appearance.
Win, lose or draw I'm a Saints Fan and will never ever say that I don't want to see us competing for trophies. The In-laws support the Dire and it is gut wrenching watching them parade round like they have been the best team in Super League since it's inception in 1996.

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"But we don't have any chance in the Play offs, surely you can see that? We've avoided an embarrassing season by going through the motions and grinding out wins through very negative, boring tactics. But as soon as we come up against any real quality we unfold very rapidly.
Brown has a major task on his hands. Sorting the culture and mentality of the side is probably his biggest problem. We are rudderless, have no leaders and no on-field general. But more than that we lack spirit and we don't have the never-say-die attitude we used to have.
Anyone expecting an open attacking style of play under Brown are mistaken. Huddersfield's entertainment value came from having Brough and some fantastic athletes in the outside backs and at fullback, he'll have none of that at his disposal at Saints.'"
Every team in the top 8 has a chance! at the end of the day it's knock out Rugby for 5th - 8th from week 1 of the play offs then the rest join from week 2 (depending on their week 1 results).
Abolish the Club call though as it is an absolute Farce that you can choose who you play to try to get to Old Trafford.

| Quote wakey_saint="wakey_saint"Whilst we don't seem to be playing well at the moment, we were in a similar situation last year and look how that turned out in the playoffs...we seemed to coast last night not going all out at times but always knew game was in bag.
Silverwood didn't help, his constant whistle blowing for both teams stopped either really getting a roll on and that does contribute to it being such a poor game.
Even if we don't make it to OT this year, looks like a 3rd place finish in SL with 2/3 of the season being coached by an academy coach and a bloke with no prior coaching experience and I think that's a decent achievement...Especially when looking back to the bulls game at odsal when I said I would have settled for anywhere in top 6.
2012 has been a difficult year for us with moving to the new ground, not having a recognised coach etc and I think a better judgement on where we are going to be moving forward will be next year when NB comes in...just think we should try and stay behind the lads moving into the playoffs rather than slating them - =#FF0000after all I would take boring games all day long if it gets the job done and could bring the trophy home'"

All for that! but I would go one step further & make it simply a knockout competition just with the top club going through, no second bites of the cherry! whoever came up with that is beyond me, lose a cup game but go on have another go? it should the simply the Sky TV Knockout Trophy and the Top of Super League are the Premiership Winners!

| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"I have heard Omari Caro is signing for HKR. It was he who won the fastest man competition recently at Headingley. I saw him play recently in London V Wigan U20's and he was really quick, scoring two superb long range tries, but he was very raw, particularly defensively.
I do like the looks of Dixon and Dan Sarginson from the Broncos, both look very exciting players.'"
We have got to start holding on to these players! we can't just be looked as a feeder club, three good players in Sarginson, Dixon and Caro, I think players living together in club houses helps, it builds up good moral as many of the London lads would come from a large area of the Capital which can take two hours to travel across.

| Quote Noel Cleal="Noel Cleal" I noticed that with about 20 mins left everyone was talking amongst themselves. We can sometimes be a quite crowd at home but that is usually down to us paying attention to the game rather than just not being interested.
'"
I used to take the mick out of people who go to games and do everything but watch them. But I became one on Friday night, despite the fact that the Chelsea updates were loading at a slugs pace on our phones. I even looked at the clock expecting time to be up, and was gutted when it had 10 minutes left.
Quote Noel Cleal="Carlos Alberto"www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19396251
Read Mike Rush's comments regarding LMS. No wonder we are so dull to watch.'"
Doesn't surprise me if he's on the blower to Daniel Anderson every week. So obsessed with completing sets that we almost look shocked when we fall over the line. I just hope that this isn't the long term plan that Brown has in his ear and they are just steadying the ship so to speak.
On another note, Dixon has been called up to the England Knights squad. Well deserved judging by that performance.

If we play with the same style of play as we have done recently and for the majority of the season we don't stand a chance. Warrington, Wigan and Leeds would find it easy to defend against us and we wouldn't be able to overpower them. If we play like we did in that game against Leeds at Langtree Park earlier in the year were we offloaded the ball and played with pace at the ruck, who knows.
I won't be holding my breath though. Our recent performances are worrying.

My top 8 comment was a generalisation and I hope that Mike Rush gives the squad freedom to play expansive rugby like we did in the Leeds and Warrington games at the beginning of their tenure.
I'm seriously hoping we can make a good go of the play-offs as it seems to be when we are at our most clinical (until the Grand Final)

And this is where a lot of us differ.
a) It won't see us bring the trophy home because Warrington and Wigan are miles better than us, but it could see us progress quite far - albeit ultimately ending up failures yet again.
More importantly though -
b) I pay my money to enjoy my evening. I pay to be entertained. Whilst we all accept that sometimes you have to grind out the odd result to achieve your goals, when that starts to happen every single week, then I cease to sympathise with the attitude.
I've seen Saints teams lose many more games in a season than this but enjoyed them much more. Winning isn't everything to me. If all I cared about was the result then I'd watch the game on the BBC score updates page.
I was that bored that I watched about twenty minutes of the game on Friday. I probably spent more time looking at my phone. If it wasn't for modern technology, I'd have been forced to watch it all and that would have been a punishment too far.
