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 where were you?
Probably watching the borefest at Anfield. I know who got better value for their money yesterday.
It's no good good moaning about losing players to RU when the majority of RL fans can't be @rsed supporting their national side.

| Agreed. Yesterday was a great day for the sport.
Can't believe how many Aus /NZ support there was! Thought the atmosphere in the lower tier was pretty good. Kids enjoyed the Haka and the Mexican wave!
Family ticket (2 Adults, 2 Kids) -£30, amazing value for two matches!

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| For the game against the Kiwis I'd go with

Not really, 40k and a 16 point loss is still poor, your standards are very low.

As I have said one hundred times before, I get more than enough from watching my club teams in both sports, I dont understand how you can have any passion for a team that plays 3-4 times a year against the same 3 or 4 teams, getting the same results, doesnt appeal to me at all. I haven't once MOANED about the crowds, why would I moan? Im not bothered. Neither have I moaned about losing players to RU, the reason we lose players to RU is because the cretins at the RFL wont up the salary cap, simple as that, nothing to do with the international game.
Also depends on what you class as "value for money", id rather sit in a stadium and watch a team I am passionate about playing in a "borefest" than pretend im all excited about England, when in fact, im not.

As far as I am aware I didn't say what would constitute a decent crowd or scoreline. Though I knew you were talking crap when you said it would be 80% empty. You like to show off by making stupid, hysterical statements but don't have the bottle to back it up.

I posted a prediction. Just because im not as bothered about international RL as I am about Wigan doesn't mean I cant have an opinion on it.

Because they play the same 3/4 teams every year getting more or less the same results, we are not a global sport which makes the International game less exciting, there are less teams and less challenges. It doesn't capture peoples imagination like an ashes series used to, its very predictable.

The bottle to back it up? Explain?

but thats not what you said is it you said you wasnt bothered not that you wasnt as bothered. So you obviously care enough to post numerous times about the state of an internation game you dont care about hmm

I have an opinion, dont know why everyone is spitting there dummies out because I have said I care more about my club than England.
Can you please drag up all these "numerous posts" were I have slated the state of the international game. All I have said is that internationals dont really appeal to me like going watching Wigan does.
