There doesn’t seem to be a dedicated thread for ‘Saints Week’ on here (tickets thread aside) but I’m laughing my head off in disbelief reading our friends at RedVee. One idiot thinks Lomax is better than Austin. Spare me!

Another says that we don’t have as much ‘strike’ as them, what does that mean? Think of all the different places and ways we manage to score tries this year. I haven’t seen LMS or Walmsley throw a backdoor pass like Chris Hill, for instance.

I want some of what they’re having (unless it’s their sister). The age-old arrogance is sickening.

Should be a cracker if the ref lets it flow.

As Mr Wilde (Oscar, not Brian Wilde of Last of the Summer Wine fame) once said, "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about"

If we weren't a significant theat they'd be discussing Justine Holbrook's haircut (who wouldn't) or LMS new anthology of poems.

Let them sweat, it will do that scouse palor the world of good.

How many minutes for the first desperate cry of 'FORWARD' from the Saints faithful ? It's almost as tedious as the wait for the cry of YARKSHIRE from them over the wall.

They never learn do they?

Should be a cracker, and our marketing department have got them in a real sweat on Twitter. No doubt the clueless on Redvee will see it as arrogance on our part.
The Holbrook "are you resting Austin" was very funny to be fair.
Apparently Ratchford isn't fit to lace Coote's laces (I'm paraphrasing).

I think that 90% of the banter is perfectly fair game from Saints fans, and many posters on Redvee have made some very astute comments about the relative strengths of the two sides. What was regrettable, provocative, arrogant and uncalled for were comments by one of the Redvee mods ( or I assume so as the Twitter handle was RedVee) on Twitter about 'putting Warrington back in their box'. If Saints are 'not bothered' by Warrington then that's not very smart thinking, given the league table positions of both clubs.

Also highly ironic given the amount of forward passes they score off. But I doubt they understand the concept of Irony.

There are one or two very unpleasant individuals on there LSF in particular is an extremely hateful one, or at least his online persona is. i would assume he wouldn't dream of saying half the things he does in normal life...but who knows?

Unfortunately ,forward passes like other infringements that are "got away with" by all teams at varying times are just examples of the poor policing of the laws of the game by match officials .
Hopefully, the good weather of the last few days will provide conditions for a spectacular game from both teams.

No one sees it as arrogance, everyone just thinks it’s quite strange to be celebrating a semi final win that led to another Grand Final defeat. Don’t even see Castleford do that and I’m sure you’d all agree they’re a small club. Also, Coote is a better player than Ratchford, of that there’s no doubt. A starting fullback for NRL GF winners alongside the likes of Thurston vs someone who has been a utility player up until recent years.

He's finally out of the hibernation he's been in since October! Welcome back to the forum son.

Nice try but I’ve been on the forum plenty of times before now.

Sometimes he emerges from under his bridge...

Really? Each to there own on that one. Havent you had the likes of Joey Hayes and Danny Arnold (unspectacular players) who have won medals with Saints? Winning trophies doesnt mean you are good player.

I'd rather take Ratchford, England fullback, Harry Sunderland winner in a GF.

I've only read it. It there not a link to that video. ?
I've looked all over.

Don’t get sucked in, this time last year Barba was the greatest ever fullback, that ended well...

It’s on YouTube Saints v Warrington joint press conference

If anyone finds a link in passing could you post it please.

About 5.09 onwards

If you tell me how to do a link I’ll do it!

i love that your only comeback to that, is to point out we got beat by wigan, i remember when saints were a big team and didn't have to rely on wigan results to take the out of us. how times have changed.

I bet you'll be back playing hide and seek after Friday night though.

I'd take losing a final at Wembley every time over losing a semi final.

Agree, as bitter as it is at the time losing in a final is still better than not being there with a chance to win.
