Quote: Bigredwarrior "

How many teams get to pick from a full strength squad? It just doesn't happen. Regardless, when Lam did get a pretty much full strength back we looked poor. Were we winning yes. But that's a very basic look at the season when in reality it was evident that the quality of RL last season was incredibly low bar Saints.
Even when it mattered at the end of the season in a crunch game at home v Salford our team showed no passion, no skill, no teamwork, no organisation and no fight to win. That's a team which had 12 months under Lam, a team which has gone backwards under his leadership.

I find it baffling how anyone can defend Lam after watching us play well once all season, that was only one 80 min performance all year.

Quote: JonnyBroad "That try should have been disallowed, not because it was off the cuff but because it broke the laws of the game. Very surprised if a man with as much knowledge as you didn’t already know that though.'"


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? icon_lol.gif

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.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS 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
