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.

This is exactly why I've been banging the drum about Saints not being the enemy. Rivals? 100% yes, but they aren't the enemy to us.

This is other side of success that successful RL sides have to deal with. It's almost inevitable that, after a period of success, the NRL will come knocking. Why wouldn't they too? They (the NRL) are obviously looking for talented lads, but also ones who've had a rugby education in an environment that's as close to the NRL as you can get. That's us and that'd Saints.

Lord knows the NRL have raided us & it isn't fun, or funny now it's happening to them.

The two clubs need to work closer imo. F the rest of SL and how they continually fail to invest or aspire for better. Politic if needs be. Absolutely run roughshod too. Just do whatever is best for Wigan and Saints as, ultimately, that's what's good for RL.

If the NRL clubs have scouts who know their stuff watching the Superleague you’d have to think a bid for Mikey Lewis won’t be far off. He is looking outstanding at the minute and is leagues above some guys holding down starting spots over there.

Possibly, but I'm also sure said scouts are also asking if he can do it in a GF. He lost his head a little a little in the CC Final last year etc. Have their been questions over his attitude too.

From a scouts POV, it's just more of a "safe bet" to pick the guys from the big clubs. Dodd did it in the WCC. Tomkins before him. I can name you plenty of more fancied forwards than Sutton etc. You make it at Wigan, or Saints then it's more than likely they'll have all the right attributes.

I know I'm in the minority but I don't think he could play for a top side and definitely not an NRL side. He plays for himself and his side would have to play with no structure

He has lots of highlight reel moments but as a team player not for me.
