How can you give an opinion on the game if you didn't see it?

In respect of that, what makes you think your views should carry any weight at all?

Why post them unless what you're really here for is to subtly try and cause trouble?

for christ sake, i have put the stretched custard neck on ignore to avoid seeing his mad ramblings.....please stop quoting his drivel.....lol

Believe me, I am not trying to cause trouble. I am trying to engage in conversation but because I am a Saints fan, people don't like it.

I can guarantee that if a Wigan fan came on here and said "come on lads, let's not get carried away, NZ had half a team out," then nobody would bat an eyelid. It's ridiculous.

And I haven't giving an opinion on the game or your performance, I am simply reminding people that it was a much weakened side they played against, there's no harm in that mate.

Well I watched the game and I was delighted with that second half from our youngsters. That was a masterclass at times. Don't really care who was out on the field for NZ by then, for our lads to go to New Zealand and do that on Live TV in NZ and Australia was fantastic to watch. Judging off twitter, those kids are delighted with that experience and good on em!

I agree it was the younger squad members who really shone today. Powell was impressive and I thought Jack Hughes had a cracker. Bateman made a real difference in 2nd half too. Burgess may have got 4 tries but I thought Manfredi's try was the best of the match. Future is bright if we can keep the current crop of young lads together.next week I'd go:
Bowen, Charnley, Goulding, Sarginson, Burgess, Green, Smith, Taylor, McIllorum, Flower, Hughes (or Bateman if Wane wants to use him), Farrell & O'Loughlin. Subs Powell, Crosby, Pettybourne & Dudson.

From Friday and on today's showing, Clubb has to improve a lot to get in above Bateman or Hughes.

Not yet YG. Bowen knows the Roosters inside out and has all the experience in the world. Hampshires time will come and it'll be worth waiting for!

I agree with that last bit definitely, he looks class. I am only asking as Bowen has been below par in the 3 games he has played so far. Not sure how he was named MOM against Huddersfield!

So on the basis of two games, one of which you didn't even watch, you're trying to push the case for Bowen being a bad buy?

Even by your standards, this is a pretty transparent agenda.

I guess when your own team isn't there you feel the need to comment on those that are. Even a team full of our own kids has to be brought down by saying NZ played their kids. I doubt NZ lost have a team last year like we habe, so in essence we put out a team of similar experience. Except their younger/reserve players play a better standard than SL players do.

Would love to know what he thinks of Lance Whoareya then?
Possibly one of the worst imports in recent years!

Il second that!

What is your problem?

Firstly, I've watched Bowen play all 3 games for Wigan and I've seen Hampshire a few times. Based on that, Hampshire is more dangerous than Bowen and all I have done is suggest that he must be close to pushing him for a starting spot.

What is wrong with that? Again, if a Wigan fan said this, you wouldn't have a problem. What agenda are you trying to suggest?

The levels of xenophobia on here are ridiculous.

I agree. He is absolute garbage. I hope he doesn't play for us again all season if truth be known.

I thought both Bowen and Hampshire had good games, Bowen did nothing wrong and played a part in 2 tries and would have scored if Hughes had passed the ball correctly instead of throwing it forward.
