I agree with this which is why I've not been happy with the club's official twitter account trolling Hull and Karl Fitzpatrick baiting Wigan in the media.

When it comes to players though I think its fair enough. The players will know each other socially and its fair enough for players who actually take to the field to have some banter and wind ups between themselves. Lineham might set himself up for a bit of comeback next time the sides meet but he's big enough to handle it.

Different when its club officials, who don't go on the field themselves but are trying to pump up 'controversy' for marketing purposes, using official channels.

thats just lineham being lineham, he's a rugby league savant

Agree with that - we want to be seen as a serious profeessional sport we don't need to have nonsense like fake press conference cancellations.

I think Lineham just sounds a little silly talking about the "formidable St Helens" when we had six out - still, it's heat of the moment stuff and I'm sure his target audience enjoyed it

Saints posters on this board should add that as their signature. Saves on typing repetition.

Losing to Warrington doesn't bother me. You've been a top side since Moran started splashing the cash and you are long overdue success. In the past we were vastly superior to Warrington in all areas, that hasn't been the case for getting on for ten years now, probably since Cunningham retired. But groups of results between the top sides often go like that. It has always been Saints > Bradford, largely Bradford > Leeds but Leeds > Saints. You struggle to beat Wigan, where we've had far more success. I don't expect us to win trophies either, I want us to but sport is sport, all the other teams are striving for the same thing and at times you lose. We've been here before with Warrington and it's not panned out as people claim it's destined to. Saints have lost one proper league game in 489 days according to Twitter last night. I'm not losing any sleep over that, nor would I if you were to dominate Super League this season like we did last, it's bound to happen eventually.

If you're claiming the two London defeats don't count because you fielded a weak team then you can claim last night didn't count can't you?

That stat is garbage. One London game we definitely threw with a severely weakened team, but the other loss we had a far stronger team out than last night and certainly went there to win. It was golden point (so didn't "lose" in 80 mins I suppose) but a loss in a game we went out to win for sure.
