I think we should go well further than this. Let's ban singing, no wait let's go full snooker and ban anything that registers over a gentle whisper.

Anyway back OT...

I can actually sympathise somewhat with the Saints fans on this one. For me it comes down to having a bit of respect. Everyone hates us, Saints or Leeds, but in reality, it's those three sides who prop up every other club in SL.

Hull KR and plenty of the historically "smaller" sides, seem to go OTT when they beat the bigger sides. They spend longer, giving it to the away teams fans, than they do actually congratulating their own team.

They then yap on about it for far too long too. How many Wakey fans went to town last year because they beat us on an off day? We won the LLS and GF, they got relegated - yet they still talk about beating us, like it actually mattered. Hull KR did the same this time last year, what happened in the SL semi final? Didn't the Cas players once all gather around in front of the away end after winning a league game at the DW?

I've seen plenty of other celebrations from sides like they've just won a final, when in reality, they've one one game. Grinds my gears.

The highlight of a season for fans of teams like hull kr, Salford, Warrington etc is beating a big club. So of course their fans are going to celebrate. Fans of the opposing team should be able to be gracious

Of course fans of smaller clubs are going to celebrate and enjoy the moment.

Carrying on the way some of the Saints fans were is totally unacceptable and inexcusable.

It’s not isolated to Saints though, it is just another example of thankfully a small minority of fans that exist within most clubs who bring embarrassment on their clubs and the game.

Truly spoken like someone who enjoys baiting the opposition.

"What? You're angry with me? All I've done is come onto your site repeatedly and do nothing but cause trouble. You're the one at fault for responding."

It was the referees fault

Fans of the opposing team that were not gracious were your fellow fans.
I think we will see more of this when saints lose more games,bad losers even worse winners (some).

They are getting as bad as Wire fans

[quIN]][delN[/del]]OUToteI must admit I was embarrassed by quite a few Saints fans today and not for the first time away from home. I know who she is without even watching videos as she was a few rows behind us.

We have a great away following in the main, taking big numbers and are loud but we have definitely attracted a yobbish element, lads who can’t take their ale and think they are untouchable. I went with my eldest lad today who’s 13 and my mate and his lad who is only 6.

We both said that that is probably the last time we’ll go on a coach. We normally take it in turns to drive but given the distance today and it was a Saturday afternoon we thought we’d take a coach from a pub. I’ve normally only taken coaches from the club before. After today it’s not for me. I’ll drive next time regardless of distance.'"

Not sure it does. I applaud them for taking a stand all our clubs should be dead against it as well.

I think he might go at the end of his contract but Saints seem to be able to fend off NRL interest better than anyone else

I wonder what Saints think to Delaney entertaining it? I presume he has done for this to come out and I also presume they've only found out about it after the event. Souths are bang out of order and the lack of respect from an NRL club towards the English game comes as absolutely no surprise but the player and his agent could have discussed it with Saints in the first instance.

On a side note, I don't think he should be looking to make that move just yet. He's got loads of potential but I don't think he's ready yet. Teams have worked out how to deal with him better now, after he made a big impact when he first broke in and he's still developing.

Hard to see the NRL doing much about it and I suspect Souths share that view. I don't know if there are any other legal routes Saints could go down but they likely wouldn't think it was worth it to go that far.

Well done Saints for banning those idiots at HKR. Other clubs should follow suit and remove this cancer from our sport. https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/243 ... l-kr-game/

If we don’t do anything about the salary cap it is inevitable that this will happen on a more frequent basis. Delaney’s head will now have been turned.
