Incidentally ,in another sport ,it was good to see Martin Murray parading the Saints shirt & shorts in the ring in Monte Carlo last night.

Saints fans do....

I've a good mind to be as insular as them and say right I've seen the wires match. I've seen the broncos match (my favourite Aussie team). I can't stand saints and I can't stand Michael Maguire and his South's team (Greg Inglis apart) plus I've no interest in a game that the Aussies treat as a pre season friendly so I'm not going to watch it

Fortunately I love rugby league and can't wait for it I hope it's just as brutal as the previous two meaningless WCS games saints fans have had to endure.

I was in the West Stand for no reason other than because it was the cheapest, and we were surrounded by loads of kids from local amateur teams who I assume were given free tickets, so not all of them were "sold" as such.

I think we got a good attendance because we only really get more than that in Super League when Wigan or Saints turn up with 2-3,000 away fans so not many regular or semi regular Wires gave it a miss. I still saw it as a friendly though, sorry. It was a good match and I enjoyed it, but if offered the choice before the match of beating St George or beating Catalans then I would have picked Catalans without hesitation and that still stands.

I agree, we said this travelling to Hull the other Friday that of our next 3 games (Hull, St George & Catalans) we would take a defeat in the World Club Series if we got 4 points from our other 2 games.

Definitely. St G match was great experience but the points are what matter the most!

Like most on hear and as a fan of our great game I watched the three games, I listened to the lack of respect from Saints fans about how the other two games didn't mean anything. I know that the opposition from both sides was of a consistent level and so the games were hard and intense from the well matched teams and we all thought how close we are getting to the NRL standard. Then.... the real match, wow how close are we? The biggest ever losing score in the competition, clinical and intense from the start. Having seen that I am glad that our game (StG I) was as pointless and worthless as so eloquently put by Saints fans (well those that I know) and theirs was so worthwhile! I know which team I am happier with after these games.
