I would imagine having failed to beat a poor Widnes side with 12 men on your own ground, people are curious to what the fans reaction to that would be.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg



The biggest disappointment for me, was our apathy towards the result.

[quote="Eddie Hemmings said not ":1h9um51j] "Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"[/quote:1h9um51j]:



Certain of a top four place, I think we've now switched off and are cruising towards the end of the regular season. Hard to imagine at the minute that we'll be able to switch on again.

Lose to Saints and Catalan and it's likely we'll be visiting Huddersfield in the playoffs - dangerous game to be playing but I wonder...

"Cruising" more like clueless. Ah well if it is a trip to Hudd's another Ale Trail opportunity

The difference being we were in the cup final the week after, this time we have a week off.

Can't say I disagree with that. I really dislike the current system. I'm not sure how any club, coach, player or fan can have respect for a system that allows an admittedly poor team call themselves champions after finishing 5th. It makes a mockery of RL in my opinion. Why bother playing 28 weekly rounds when ultimately it doesn't matter. Why not just turn SL into another giant knock-out competition like the CC? Being consistently the best team over 28 rounds is the biggest achievement in RL, yet it's ignored by many and sneered at by most. For me, until there is more emphasis and reward placed on LLS I don't see why any team would bother killing themselves for 1st, 2nd or even 3rd spot.

I was bothered but then this morning am thinking why? Win one Playoff game and we are just 80 mins from the Grand Final again.

Last night was embarrassing due to who we lost to and the fact they had a man sent off but as stated already so was London 12 months ago.

Nothing has changed in 24 hours.

But no matter how the league structure is dressed up as being irrelevant ,the club & the team have an ongoing obligation to the public who pay to be entertained & who pay the wages of everyone connected with the club .

Do we pay to be entertained? or do we pay to see a team winning trophies?

I'd say a 75:25 ratio in favour of trophies, TANCW.
After all, Moran and us speccies have collectively invested a lot of money into this club. I wouldn't say we've become accustomed to success, but we should expect some. The players we have are capable, and have proved it in the past. The entertainment, due to the style of RL we play, is a by product of it.

I have watched the Wire over the years mainly for the entertainment value of two equally committed teams coming face to face on the pitch with silverware being a rare bonus ,but if the league ,or more importantly the spectators view of the competition ,becomes an irrelevance it will be a very poor RL where fans only see the attraction to turn up for Wembley & the league play offs & OT.

Quote: TheDoc "I have to agree. Last nights performance and this seasons dullness overall makes me glad that I am not renewing my season ticket for next year.

If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got (TS might do well to remember this)'"


This is pure comedy, you get beat so its the end of renewing season tickets, LMFAO icon_lol.gif talk about a fickle fan. Try supporting a lower end club, you've had challenge cups in your cabinet and appeared in a grand final last season get a grip. Your not entitled to win every game and certainly not in a glorious style week in week out.
