| Quote: NickyKiss "The attack was much the same for me but Wane didn’t ever make statements that his team would play rugby that would blow your socks off. At his original press conference Lam promised attacking and entertaining rugby, to the point where even Edwards joked he would buy a season ticket but aside from a fleeting glimpse of it around April time, we never really saw it. He was actually very conservative in his selections, leaving out attacking players like Escare and Greenwood on a regular basis.
No excuses next season. In terms of personnel, he has some unbelievable attacking talent at his disposal. If you can’t get a back line including French, Hardaker, Manfredi, Gildart and Hastings playing entertaining rugby on the back of a bigger pack and threats on the edge through Farrell and Greenwood, then you’ll struggle to do it with any side.'"
I'm no Lam fan, but I suspect that's because he didn't realise the limitations of our halves last season. Then quickly realised when he got here and reverted to a Wane style of play, because that's all that would work.
We'll see this season.

I can’t remember that try, whether it’s down to Christmas Day alcohol consumption or not is up in the air. So for my benefit can you jog my memory?

His reply to your reply saying my post doesn't warrant a reply doesn't deserve a reply.
Reason
Any reply to his reply would only be continuing the replies and perpetuating the same debate.
I'll leave everyone to reply with their own replies to decide of it is game set and match or if your replies decide that we need more replies then we could reply some more and it would be kind of a replay which is a reply with the "a" missing.
Anyway
Xmas day Fish fingers was lovely (why change just because its xmas day, its worked for the last 51 weeks)
Santa brought me a new A to Z so I can continue to drive my Model T Ford around the back streets of Wigan

Fages has to retire to the back of the scrum before being involved in play. Not something any issue was made about it at the time, probably because despite all the years he has been involved Stuart Cummings still doesn’t know the rules. They didn’t win sl because of that though they wont it because there structure was far mor solid than anyone else throughout the season. It pains me but you can only give them credit for that. We will be back with a bounce this year and ready for them.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Best set move EVER.
Attacking scrum 25 yards from opposition try line, 20 yards in from right hand touchline
Scrum half passes ball to stand off (David Bolton) and he passes it on to right centre (Eric Ashton) then goes around Ashton to take the return pass.
Opposition chase Bolton, BUT Ashton doesn't give him the ball.
Billy Boston comes flying in from the wing from around 35 yards out, Boston arrives at the perfect time just inside Ashton, receives a supremely timed short ball and scores close to the posts.
That move was used a few times once for Great Britain and Murphy was the scrum (he's no idea what was happening) Eventually opposition teams got wise, but it was brilliant to watch.
Sadly things like that couldn't be used today, there is far too much video analysis.

I remember a great move by Wire from scrum against Wigan in Lancs Cup final at Knowsley Road. Andy Gregory to fullback I think it was Johnson. Also remember the game for the much anticipated Gary Helmsley Smith playing made one run sideways and that was all I remember of his career
