yours was the latest in the thread! what's your point? do you think i'm picking on you specifically? well guess what i'm not, anyone who tars a group of fans with the same brush deserves to be pulled up!

nasty wire slim

1) You Lost.
2) We didn't win because of a forward pass. If you take those 4 points away we still drew unless all our other points don't count either because they're against your precious Saints. That's before we even get to the points you scored that shouldn't have been. You can "woulda, coulda, shoulda" all you like but in the end it comes back to point 1.
3) As you so rightly say we haven't hit the championship form of last year so far. As you say; "so far". This is the same squad as last year, minus Gleeson/Feka but with the addition of two former kangeroos, a NRL grand final winner and SOO player and soon, GB International Hock. What makes you think it will be unable to recapture the form that destroyed you in last year's GF (except from your ridiculous one-eyed view that everything outside the super-dooper Saints is somehow, by definition, flawed)? Any rational analysis would suggest otherwise. Indeed if memory serves we drew at Cardiff (and should have won with half our team missing, something you seem to be keen on putting forward when it suits you) and, as for Friday, well....see point 1.
4) Enjoy the style of rugby that all Saints fans enjoy. By that I mean the one that took you to..well see point 1
5) As you say, you don't look like champions either at this stage of the season. In fact no-one in SL does yet. There are teams that you would expect to be there or therabouts come the playoffs, but that's as far as it goes. If we're looking at where both teams are at THIS stage of the season...well, see point 1.
6) Just in case you're still in any doubts about anything else...see point 1



HTH

Dear God! I came off your board (despite there being many good and interesting posters over there) to get away from this ridiculous claptrap and now I have to suffer it on our own board.

By the way, only one-eyed Saints fans think we were lucky to win. I thought it was a great game that could have gone either way and that the team that played for 80 mins rather than 76 deservedly won. Indeed, that was the reality of the game, despite your bleatings about forward passes and injustices. You really are the most pathetic type of poster that these boards sometimes produce: a revisionist who believes their own delusions. Enjoy the match and be satisfied with the excellent performance your team put in but, for all that's holy, retain a LITTLE dignity in defeat. Your own 19-year-old winger managed it seconds after suffering what must have been a heartbreaking defeat. You still can't manage it several days later.

BTW could you give me this weeks winning lottery numbers please as, in addition to your wonderful analytical powers ( ) you can obviously see into the future now.

True. I forgot you didn't convert the forward pass try. Pat Richards isn't perfect after all. Either way, that forward pass decided the outcome of the game. Had you not been awarded that try, and you should not have been, we would have gained a point from that match and you would not have won. But more to the point is that forward passes should be called, no matter who performs them, especially on the way to the tryline because the outcome of the game could depend upon them.

Give it a rest now please.

Nobody said that Pat Richards was perfect. White Line Painter head missed one too... Pat was Still Man of Steel for 2010, and highest points scorer. Watch the match again... One of SAINTS trys was from a Forward Pass. So we still got a 4 point lead.

While we're on it, your boys need to keep their arms down, got off very lightly on some of those tackles. And that's just as bad in your 20s squad. Too many high tackles in the 20s game on Saturday!

I actually think you're the fans equivilent to Thierry Alibert. In short, you dont know what you're talking about. Though i think secretly, you may be a Wigan fan, you seem to spend so much time over here. Why not hop over to your own board for a bit while we mop the drivel that comes from you off the floor.

wigan were lucky to win --- rubbish you play for 80 mins... wigan showed determination....
how many times have saints won at the death... now the boot is on the other foot you cant swallow it.... and look for any excuses
as for wigan we have not hit top form so far this season so when we do and do it with consistency no one would be able to live with us

as for saints saying they are not bothered/putting on a brave face they were gutted at this loss
because it was wigan who beat them...any other team and then they can say they are not bothered...

just looking at their faces on tv told the story.......

What backrowsaint said

Meli. Cardiff.

Get over it....FFS
