'Thus I am tormented by my curiosity and humbled by my ignorance.' from History of an Old Bramin, The New York Mirror (A Weekly Journal Devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts), February 16th 1833.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33809.png

Quote: Saddened! "So I see there's absolutely no reaction to Catalans successfully appealing McIllorum's ban. He has one of the worst disciplinary records going and gets off. No controversy, no Twitter meltdown, no barrage of articles from the terrible RL press. Compare and contrast to the mass hysteria whenever Saints appeal a ban, successfully or not.'"


Was it one of those second technical appeals made infamous by the Morgan Knowles appeal? There’s about as much trust in those as a in a mini-licensing round, and they need to do something about them (i.e. bin or replace them) or the whole system could fall apart.

This man gets it. Nothing will change until the biggest saints envy person since Jason65, Paul Cullen is removed from the MRP.

Only then will it be taken seriously. The rugby union equivalent has world renowned KCs to preside over it. We have ex managers with an axe to grind. That’s why we are a tin pot sport. Always scraping the barrel

Why do you keep saying "we". You're not a league or Saints fan. For God's sake, drop the presence! We all know you're a Union troll. At least have the decency to post as one.

Why did you bring me into this how can I be envious of a team that has less fans watching,has won less trophies,championships,and whose fans (some) are the most one eyed,self opinionated set who like to cast themselves as the club that is the greatest of all time and that the RL will do anything to stop them from winning,which is untrue .
Am sorry friend that is one more lie to go with all the others that you make up to be controversial etc.

Is it true that you are a RU troll and still lives at home with your teddy bears and mummy to cuddle at night when no one wants to play with you at school,that is a serious question,please answer but not on a PM icon_biggrin.gif

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Quote: RoyBoy29 "I think the Saints era is coming to a close, no complaints here on what they have achieved the last few years. Catalan for me are going to be the top dogs for a few seasons.

This seasons play off's will be interesting, its who finds that consistency at the right time will be crowned.'"


Saints don't really do closure, with so many players out this season with injuries and suspensions we are going into a quicker transition that will be a combination of playing style and academy players. Currently with half a pack missing and a few centres missing we are have actally gone from 7th place to joint 2nd place.

Not sure if the Catalans are going to be top dog for a few seasons maybe this season a grand final appearance but it looks as though the Wigoon side could challenge they have recruited well for next season whilst Catalan are losing pivotal players.

Wigan,Leigh,Catalan will and have (CC) challenged Stains this season,as for next season we will wait and see who will challenge Stains.

So please tell me how I am a troll for stating the fact that rugby union is a sport that is ran better than rugby league. Just because you don’t like what I am saying doesn’t make me a troll when all I am saying is fact. How much is rugby unions TV deal? I actually have no idea but at a guess I would say it’s at least 5 times that of rugby league in this country. Why is that? Because more people enjoy rugby union over rugby league. I enjoy both. They both have their pros and cons

You're not a troll for saying that specifically as it's probably a genuine opinion. You're a troll because you're posing as a league fan instead of posting as the union fan you actually are. It's simple really. Stop the pretence, stop the ridiculous comments and speak with a genuine voice and maybe...just maybe.. you'll get some respect. Stranger things have happened after all.

If RU is ran better and get 5 times more income than RL how come some of their teams have folded or in dire financial problems.

No, you just think I’m a troll because i say things you don’t like even though they are true. Rugby league in this country is on life support and that’s a fact. Whilst rugby union isn’t. 80000 people turned up for a friendly not involving England. Could you imagine a friendly between NZ and Fiji in this country at rugby league ? 3k tops.

I want the same for rugby league but unfortunately a number of clubs (Wigan not being one) have ruined it for everyone else.

The MRP are doing their bit. Just the 11 citings for Saints this week, including Sam Royle being cited for, I kid you not, slowing the play the ball down. Despite ruminating over the weekend they were unable to find a rule they could fit this in as a ban. But at least they managed to sneak in an imaginary charge for Joe Batchelor so he becomes bannable if he does anything...

Meanwhile Liam Bryne does the same tackle Matty Lees copped a ban for and doesn't even get charged and Sam Tomkins gets away with kneeing the tackler because he's Sam Tomkins. The MRP are moving to a lair next season rather than an office.

No, I think you're a troll because you're a troll. More specifically you're a Union troll. Why do you persist with the pretence otherwise when you know it and we all know it? There's literally no point.

I think being cited 11 times and not getting a ban is a win dont you.
If Wigan was cited the same amount and not getting a pIayer banned I would be happy and Kaid would be playing this week.
I do agree with you about Sam.

Can you not answer the question of RU getting 5 times the amount of revenue but having teams fold and some teams still struggling,all is not rosie in the garden of the RU.
80,000 turned up why, I dont know,Lemmings spring to mind !
Hell of a lot of freebies I suspect.
