I say give Walters time as he clearly has a much higher ceiling than Chan....he has to or he'd keep banging his head

Firstly with everything going on in the country it’s a strange thing to be annoyed about and to actually e mail the club.
However you’ve got me thinking now and I’m going to check it tomorrow on my way to the game. Does it not say “World Champions 2023?”
If it does then that’s factually correct. If not then you’ve got a point. I’m more worried about taking my 13 year old lad to Wembley on Saturday with the riots/protests than wording on a sign but each to their own.

| I'm not really 'annoyed', Stu, probably as amused as anything else. As for what's going on the country, I'm sure you'd agree with me rugby league is very much one of those binding effects on a community which help protect us against such things. Not always, sadly.

| If memory serves me well, I think it does say home of the world champions meaning saints and Michael Smith. I think Humphrey’s is world champion now. From Ashton so see this sign a lot

Well I’ve drove past that sign tonight and checked. It says “home of world champions” which is factually correct. It doesn’t say home of “the” world champions.
Both Smith and Saints have been world champions so move on nothing to see here and don’t expect an e mail reply moto!
As for the game…
Just like in the 2020 GF with Lomax’s kick return from Hardakers missed penalty, Harry Robertson makes that winning DG with his kick return and effort. What a player we have on our hands

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

And the home of the team who have just posted a £2 million loss. It was an expensive world champions win?

He's a good player, I saw Tomkins doing that when he was 17. Regarding the game, it was exciting but short on quality. Personally, I thought young Burns was excellent.

Really good talent along with the young hooker burn, showing a few of the older lads how to do it. Robertson needs some media training haha his comments at the end about no knowing what he was doing made me chuckle

| Let's not forget, Saints won that game without Lomax, Welsby and Dodd. Although, it was very low on quality, I enjoyed the last 15 minutes.
They'll be a threat in the playoffs, as they will look to defend their way to the GF. I'm just not sure they'll be able to keep up with the attacking power of ourselves, Wire or KR.
I'm not sure what it is, but they hardly ever suffocate teams in their own 20 anymore. I think they did it once in the whole game. I used to dread when we got the ball back close to our line, as you knew we wouldn't be getting out of our own twenty. Knowles will be sat down for a few weeks, was a bad one and he's becoming a liability.

Very good player which is why I am a bit confused by the recruitment of Sailor.
For me I’d be running with a spine of Clark, Lomax, Welsby and Robertson next year.
Find it very strange they have recruited Sailor to displace/reduce his minutes/opportunities.
I understand the need to maybe manage his game time so I do think a signing who could cover one of the 7/6/1 spots would be needed, but Sailor whilst not getting marquee money had offers to stay in the NRL and from other SL clubs so won’t have come cheap plus whilst mid/late 20s he’s not coming in, in that mentor role as he’s fairly inexperienced himself for his age.

He would be even better if he got a pass too. He didn't receive one pass in attack in the whole of the first half yesterday and barely any all game. He's feeding off scraps and still looking dangerous. The only time he touched the ball really was on his kick returns.
Our attack is and continues to be our Achilles heel. I've literally no idea what we do in training as its appalling. It will mean that come the play offs we bow out first or second game. Briers (if indeed he is coming) will hopefully improve that significantly.
Sailor will also add pace and flair, something that we lack without Welsby (who isn't the quickest but has the X factor) and obviously now with Robertson who will get more games next season but probably all across the backline similar to what we did with Welsby in 2021
Field and French both weren't ripping up trees in the NRL but they've turned out okay! If he turns out half as good I’ll be happy. He’s also at a good age with a point to prove rather than the last couple of years of his career

| Personally, I think Saints are back as contenders for the league. They are getting some good players back - AW is huge for them.
Obviously a lot of their big names don't have years in front of them, but for this season - there's no reason they can't go all the way. They know how to wins this could be their last hurrah.
