Then why is this your nineth post on this thread?

After reading the red vee posts on the game....how on earth we won that against a team of duel registered beats me. We were bloody lucky to have all our players but 1 available. They'd put put 40 on us if Warmsley and a couple more back...!

Phew...we dodged a bullet there.

On what basis can you claim that [iI'm[/i uneducated? You're the one who makes no apology for your childish post that most of your peers on RedVee did not condone, yet are the first to bring up any wrong doing by any Warrington supports on this forum.

I like talking about RL. I'll do it whether we win, lose or draw. I post on here more frequently when we're playing you or you're in the headlines, Saints don't have a forum here anymore and I come on here to read what the rest of the clubs are up to given RL is not in the press much. I'll probably be off here for a while, as we're not playing each other for a while. Give you all chance to recover. Despite the overly sensitive reactions, what I post is actually quite balanced and fair.

It didn't need an apology. It was clearly a reference to the PR piece on ITV involving Hicks and the death threats. In hindsight, I kind of wish I'd put a winky face for all the literalists who weren't able to grasp that. It got reported to Twitter 12 times and rejected 12 times and I got a nice email from Twitter support saying it was fine 12 times. I'd say the majority of people took it for what it was, a slightly bitter dig at Hicks wrapped in a reference to the news story.

Shoulder injury v Salford and now calf in warm up? Hmmm.

Come now, I didn't say Saints period of dominance was coming to an end purely that you had some major recruitment in one specific area (the pack) to do, and clearly you have. You peaked last year and you'll obviously be in the mix this year but beyond that you'll be back to the levels of we mere mortals.

I actually think LMS (much as he bugs.me) and Taia will be bigger.misses than Roby. Roby is still a good player but has been on a downward trajectory for 2 years now and injuries have [icertainly[/i been a factor.

As for your younger forwards? Nah. Too many Ernie Wises and not enough Eric Morecambes mate, though they certainly made me laugh last night.

So you still think death threats are ok as long as you do it in a jovial maner?

Roby was/is a drain on cap and restriction on fresher replenish as was Bennie for us...sentiment will be costly for the Vee. A season too far. He's been a good un though...not as good as his predecessor I might add.

Isn’t that how it works?

I don’t think It was a drain to see him lift the title again from the front, continuing his illustrious career and remarkable trophy haul.

(Roby, not Westwood obviously. Last time he did anything was lamp Blake Green in the final you lost. I forget which one......)

Sigh. I meant in terms of the lifespan of the current Saints squad. To wit, you can expect more of the same from hereon. Still, you had a good 8 months.

Remind me please how many wins compared to losses have you had against saints in s/l. Oh yeah just to remind you to wipe your feet when leaving your house.

The pies who beat you just last week? The same ones who has made you our grand final bitches?

Some interesting stats from the game:

Cooper - 79 metres from 14 carries at 6 per carry. 1 offload, 1 errors. 32 tackles, 2 missed
Philbin - 99 metres from 17 carries at 6 metres per carry. 1 offload, 0 errors. 26 tackles, 2 missed
Thompson - 112 metres from 16 carries at 7 per carry. 0 offloads, 0 errors. 33 tackles, 2 missed

Very similar stats average wise. Thompson doing more work as he didn't have any support from the bench I guess.
