How can I miss you, if you won't go away????:17064.jpg |
|
| I thought Tomkins did well, his biggest plus being that he wasn't afraid to stand toe to toe with the opposition.
Of course there has to be a suspicion that his performance was based quite significantly on the Aussies dropping off in the second half, but that can also be said about the whole England side, which improved dramatically in the second half.
Still not too optimistic for next week though....It just seems we have a mental problem of not being able to perform for 80 minutes...Either that, or we just aren't good enough??...  |

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 |

Correct.
We have been too dependent on the scooter hooker die with the ball hooker for too long. I've been moaning about it for years, at last I have got at least one supporter. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I have been saying Sinfield should play Hooker for quite a while now. Then leave a spot on the becnh for extra punch in the pack which we will need against aus and NZ. |

One Thing that needs to stop is the Flat pass. it is a waste of time.
9 out of ten times the attacking player is still juggling the ball during impact with the defence. Either that or there is a knock on. it is very in-effective.
We need to get players running from deep ASAP.
IMO the flat pass is a lazy way to play the game

Look at the way the Aussies played right to left today all stood back their passing speed was un-real. We will never have that when all SL teams play the flat pass game. It bugs me they dont have any plan b we just start playing panic rugby. |

was allowed by a poor defensive line, dog legged and not taking their man created space. |

It could of been stopped had Smith and McGuire not been the worst defenders I have seen in 18 years of watching international RL!
Hudds have shown on a few occasions how to defends against it when they beat saints. |

Smith kept coming in and leaving gaps it was laughable. |

Said it on the ground..........Burgess had to show himself to prove he could play NRL (as Ellis did last year). He was the only player imo that can hold his head high and say he beat the aussies

McGuire was just as bad but people have been blinded with how bad he was in attack  |

We shouldn't forget we got a 40 minute thumping but the second half was one to be proud of. |
