I really don’t understand how some people on here feel that this place is in any way superior to redvee or any other forum. There are morons on every single one of them, both redvee and this one included.
The majority of Saints fans can’t be judged on a small handful of idiots who post tripe on Redvee, in the same way Wigan fans can’t be judged by certain clowns on here. Redvee is no more of a “cesspit” and contains no greater amount of “vile comments and infantile references” as this place, so I don’t know why Wigan fans use it as a stick to beat Saints fans with.'"
Unfortunately you are the company that you keep.
You are posting on a Saints/Wigan thread (and others) where I think you will find quite a few complementary comments on Saints and Saints players. Can you imagine this thread on RedVee?
Personally I like posters like yourself, FTV, StuM, Saints71 et al coming onto the forum to give your views and supporting your team and players. It makes it more interesting and for me personally it can and does make me reconsider some views that I may have. I did sign up for RedVee a few months ago but after seeing some of he posts/comments I just couldn’t be bothered to receive the anticipated angry backlash to any comments that might be deemed “controversial”
Is this site filled with angels posting angelic commentary? Absolutely not. But it doesn’t contain posters who with every single reference of Saints use Stains or Scum as the default adjective. It doesn’t contain posters who use the word “ape” when discussing a coach in virtually every comment of the said coach.
I’m not for censorship but if any poster on here regularly used inflammatory terms I’d definitely give them a verbal straightener and I know that many others would do too. Maybe it’s time that the minority of the infantile posters are challenged more robustly on RedVee. Hopefully that time will come.
Please keep on posting on this forum. I respect your views but I will respectfully challenge them if I think that you are incorrect. Personally if opposing fans come onto the forum and post just to wind people up I don’t mind that as long as it is done in good spirit and not just spewing bile.

| Quote: NickyKiss "All that stuff is childish nothingness. I don’t refer to Saints and Stains, scum or anything else and don’t understand why people do (or Wigoon, inbreds or whatever else the other way) but I’m talking about things way worse than that, of the like I just don’t see on here (or again as I pointed out, I didn’t see it on your board on here either). I put two examples on the other day. One was from a while ago, where a poster was being called a paedophile because he is a Wigan fan and one was very recent, after the GF. when Barrie McDermott was being called a f*@king this and that referring to his disability. The general hostility towards outsiders is a different level to anything on here and I’m not having it that this board is anything like RedVee.'"
Genuinely didn’t see either of those examples (on redvee or you referring to them on here) but that’s way way below the belt and you’re right, worse than I’ve seen on here.

| It seems like there is no middle ground with RedVee. I like TYG cringe at some of the comments and I think the "Wigoon" and "scum" descriptions are childish to be honest. It's something I would hear a kid saying at school. The same with the "inbred" and "ape" comments.
The other side to that is the genuinely good posters on there (of which TYG is one amongst others)
However to be fair there are quite a few that will happily give Wigan due credit even if only to use Wigan and their signings for example as a stick to beat Saints with!

Sad individuals mate, who ideally wouldn’t be involved in Rugby League but it’s the social media generation of saying anything that shocks, thinking it makes them look like a smart a*se. It’s not an every day thing that sort of stuff but I don’t see loads of moderation of things like that over there and maybe that’s the issue. It’s the independent nature of the board that makes things more harsh. I’ve even seen fellow Saints fans going at each other in a really poor manner (loads of issues around a group of young lads sitting in reserves sears was one and a couple of those lads were just moronic) and that doesn’t happen on here.

| Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Agree on the lack of options for FB is a little disturbing. Personally I can’t think of any young FB coming through who might eventually replace or challenge Welsby. I like Brierley but I think that he’s just a little bit short of being top class.
At hooker I rate O’Neil and particularly Litten. I must admit I’ve never been a fan of Clark and he’s got an impossible job of trying to replace Roby. Forber who I rate highly could be the answer sooner rather than later.'"
Eckersley.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

Yes, he played a few games at fullback in the academy. I was talking to Kyle Amor about him when Eckersley was
on loan at Widnes. Amor reckons he would make a very good running second row.

I agree with all that. Maybe the idiots are simply uneducated and are incapable of having a reasoned discussion, hence they turn to inflammatory comments and swearing.

Why is it outstanding? Most SL teams have a similar amount of academy Products in their squad given that a SL squad is like 30 players
Nothing to crow about

He reminds me of a young Rads.

Thanks for the feedback.
He seems fast Eckersley but I’m unsure if he has the speed of thought or the fleetness of foot to play FB like French or Field.
A running second row is a bit of a rarity these days. I’m hoping that Nsemba can be that type of player over the next 4 or 5 years.
I’m hoping that Eckersley gets a few first team appearances in 2024.

It’s what I would expect from saints. Very commendable.
I’m not sure how but there is a need for further incentives for clubs who develop their own players.

| 18 home grown Academy products in your 2024 squad sound very good but it will only be OUTSTANDING if they actually step up and make the grade. If they fail to make the grade and you struggle during the season then it won't look as good. This is the same for any team not just Saints.

Just as a point of interest Wigan had sixteen home grown academy players out of an initial twenty-nine man first team squad for the 2023 season.
