Quote: NickyKiss "I put the question to YG if he felt the timing of Saints Covid issues were suspicious and he said not. I literally give up at that point. I mean come on, let’s not beat around the bush here, it’s at least a bit suspicious that a team can have no issues and then have a couple of weeks off at a time every team would love a reset.
Wigan would’ve been pummelled had we been in a position to do the same and we’d be pummelled for the other stuff I mention but ironically YG throws around ‘well Wigan do loads of bad stuff’ as a defence for something he says doesn’t need defending. I’ve lost some respect for Saints this season at the end of the day. That he’s me trying to wind Saints fans up, crying like a baby etc, it’s just my own feeling. The Saints team is good enough not to play the tricks they have and thats a compliment. I’ll be staggered if they don’t win the Grand Final again. The fact they’ve manufactured an advantage only helps their cause but I’m not sure they even needed it.'"
Manufactured an advantage? What if we finish 2nd and face a tougher semi (Warrington as opposed to you for example) because of the win we gave up when we supposedly faked covid? Not much of an advantage is it?
My question to you is if you find what Saints did suspicious then can the same be said for every team who have had games postponed when they weren't favourites for example? If so, then I am right in saying we are no worse than anyone else aren't I? And therefore shouldn't be singled out.
Also I did acknowledge earlier that the timing of our covid could be seen in some parts to look convenient when I said "Some of the cancellations (including ours) have come at a handy time and in that sense can look dodgy and too much of a coincidence maybe. But by the same token in our case we gave up a home game to Huddersfield which could cost us the league leaders shield, so I find it hard to believe we faked it. Yes it came at a good time in terms of a post-Wembley breather but we also gave up a very winnable game."
