i wouldn't have wanted to see any players sin binned or sent off. it would have belittled our achieveent a bit to be honest.
it wasn't all of them, just graham who was clearly very very frustrated and wilkin who can never keep his gob shut anyway. Especially for graham it would have been so frustrating to give everything and things not coming off.
no cause for concern as we are nowhere near the realms of footy players moutching off.

I just think the mental scaring of losing so many finals in a row has got to them, its a record after all

I knew the game was won once Wellens did his usual losing routine of running to the ref, whinging with his arms stretched out.

Well said St Pete.....lets get on with celebrating the victory folks, no need for posts like this!! Lets keep it positive!!

Yep, I know what you mean, its a sure fire sign that stains are in trouble.

Wilkin isnt worth mentioning, hes a pathetic player & ultimate flat track bully.

Graham, is an outstanding player BUT has a serious attitude problem.

I have to admit that Cunningham's interview was first class and showed true sportsmanship. If all players showed this much decency the game would be all the better. I must admit I was very surprised by his tone. But credit where credit is due. He was examplary here:- news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 055247.stm

Legend of the game no doubt!

There definitely seems to be an issue with certain players at Saints with regards to whingeing and moaning. They aren't the only culprits in the league though. IMO any back chatting should be a penalty or a further 10 yards if a penalty has already been given. Any further back chatting should be a simple sin bin. Only the captain of the team should be able to ask the referee questions about why the penalty/decision has been given. It's not rocket science

Isn't that what it says in the rule book ?

Saints and Leeds are the worst for back chatting to the ref. It seems to be mostly the players who have had the most success, i hope our players dont go down that road next year.
