walters is on about us been like wrestlemania, just wondering if mickey rourke was giving scotty and mason some tips from his training on the wrestler

on tonights boots n all , paul cullen said that the giants were not doing anything different to any other team in super league , only that the giants have perfected holding down at ptb , terry oconnor said also that it is part of the game to help set the defence , just a publicity thing by walters , it dont mean nothing

Sure we have had a good defence. Anderson did that for us. But it has slowed right down. We timed it well under the old system of speedy PTBs, from which we would scoot, but three men in, peeling off, taking heaven knows how many seconds to peel off: we weren't in that style at all. Also, we have not operated a compressed defence like you, which acts as a moving wall. It can leave your edges vulnerable, which Wire exploited in the Challenge Cup final but we failed to do in the semi. A sound kicking game can screw you but we haven't had one of those for a few years now. It appears that what we are capable of doing, however, is bringing an element of your defensive game to you, which we did on Saturday night in that we were in your faces for the full 80. We didn't operate a compressed defence, but we did make sure you couldn't get an attack going. It was a very effective means of beating you and one which everyone will have watched.

I've probably not explained myself any better this time around but I know what I mean, even if no-one else does!

On the point about Walters, I think he's been quite clever actually. He's issued a challenge to Ganson, the RFL (by association) and your coach. People will be watching in the light of what he said, and judging the play accordingly. I'm looking forward to the match even more, now.

I think he's running scared and trying to use mind games, akin to Potter with the semi. We not only played a weakened team last Saturday but we played people in different positions.

I think Brown was keeping people guessing, and if we win Friday we could be quite a different proposition come the semi's to what was seen in week 1 of the play offs.

Great motivation for the Hudds players! Well done Mr Walters.

I just hope we don't go OTT with it!

I think he's partly done this to put some needle in us so we maybe will go too far, and also to try and influence the ref. It just galls me that a side with the worst discipline in the league is complaining about our tactics.

I really, really hope we beat them and that Brown comes out with some kind of retort post match in his inimitable fashion. First and foremost though, we need the win.

Potter didn't speak before the semi, so far as I can remember. He spoke after it. Not that us Saints fans wanted him to, but he spoke anyway.

As for you fielding a weakened team ... we could say exactly the same thing about the semi and it would be true. We had injuries up to our armpits and people played out of position. Is that why we lost or were you the better team?

Oh put a cork in it will you. You're like a little kid.

I like the way he speaks for everyone. You tend to find that with these kinds of people.

When a good response cannot be found, resort to insults.

Where did I speak for everyone? And what kind of person am I? Have we met IRL?

You just don't get it, do you.
