No, but sometimes it can backfire on even the best, especially if you pick up injuries, You're the best team in the comp at present but a lot of that is down to momentum, it's an easy thing to lose and a hard thing to get back. Don't think it will happen in this case but you need to be careful. Despite beating them I personally thought Toulouse were a better team than Leeds and Hull and are not far off a win. They have nothing to lose and they are not short of players who can dole it out, tough little team IMO.

Pulling the kind of stunt that you are trying, you deserve to lose.
Unfortunately, in the grand scheme of things, it wont matter. Saints looks comfortably the best side in the comp and one or two losses,
wont affect thier league position.

Mind you, it will be a long journey home for your fans who probably expected to see a top Saints side and not a team full of kids

But the youngest kids in our team for tomorrows game are Dodd, Welsby and Wingfield all three have played against top opposition. If Wigan are playing poop by good friday are you suggesting we shouldn't play these kids.

Yes. Play as weak a team as possible. Leave out 9 players like we had to in 2019 to give us a chance. You'll probably still win.

But we are probably playing around 12 International players and one state of origin player tomorrow with a couple of kids who have played nearly every game this season against the likes of Catalan and Warrington.

Only 12, however do you manage

Other teams fans are just jealous of St Helens. Don’t rise to it.

Toulouse scoring more than a point a minute so far...

They are doing well at the moment giving Saints a taste of there own medicine. Sounds as though discipline and kicking game poor so far from Saints, Toulouse not allowing them to get into their stride.

Toulouse win. Not dodgy at all.

Remind me again how saints have the best squad in the league and can rest players etc.

Every weak team they play gets beat.

I called it when I heard what they were planning to do. I'm not suggesting they're deliberately losing to promoted expansion teams but they're definitely not approaching them as normal games. This won't affect Saints season and it's great for the game for TO to get off the mark and not go the season without a win.
