I honestly think that they are slowing overtaking Warrington fans

Them thinking the RFL is out to get them is just bizarre?

Is it based them banned their back rowers who try to decapitate half backs every week ?

You’d think the decent ones on there would head back over to their board on here, to discuss Rugby League in a reasonably sensible way. I post on the independent Wigan board and that’s more ‘out there’ then here, it’s more biased and you get some characters but it’s not a patch on Red Vee. Over the years some of the things posted on there have been disgraceful.

I've thought that myself on occasion. How many actual decent posters are there though? I can only think of a handful.

It's mind boggling some people's views on the national side. The whole narrative about not supporting players from other teams, and that being exaggerated further by the coach being from "insert rival teams town/city here" (in this case, Wigan), is to me beyond comprehension. Yes I hate it when Welsby for example shreds us to pieces because he's an outstanding player, but by the same token the admiration for good play trumps that in the end. I want anyone pulling the England (or GB) shirt on to absolutely smash it, and I want more players across the league capable of doing it (regardless of what team they play for) as it will make Super League a better competition. The game will never improve over here without a strong backing of the national side, that's what has wicked me off the most about the way in which Saints have been in the recent past about releasing players for International duty (and others to a lesser extent, but Saints in particular as they've had the players who could make a real difference at Test level).

Also maybe I’m missing the point but given your views of redvee being a cesspit full of ingrates that post “disgraceful” views, why is it you’re so obsessed with going on there and copying and pasting posts? Embarrassing behaviour

Because it's funny.

You aren't missing something, you're just ignoring it. They are usually mutually exclusive in horrendous weather conditions. Don't let that detract from your narrative though.

It was me who said some posts over the years have been disgraceful (and they have) but you seem to have combined that with posts being copy and pasted over, which isn’t me.

Couple of examples of the posts I refer to-

1-A member of the Sky team being called a f*c*ing summat or over (mocking his disability)

2-A poster being called a paedophile because he made rugby related comments people didn’t agree with.

Just 2 examples in a sea of sh*te.


Now that’s what I call embarrassing!

And just for clarity, why does it bother you what I do? I'm sorry if it butt hurts you to see the moronic rantings of your fellow Saints fans posted here. I'll make sure I consider your feelings before I post any others*




*I wont at all

Reading this thread a bit late in the debate but picking up on some of the comments or themes.
Firstly - complaints about the conditions, now i do watch NRL games from time to time and one thing that does stike me is just how much it really pi$$es down in Australia and New Zealand, torrential rain at times, yet they somehow dont know how to play when it rains.
Next, I thought England played some really good entertaining rugby in the last world cup and to the semi final, I very much doubt Wane was up in the gantry shouting 'pass it forward, pass it forward' at the end, the players failed to execute in the last game played and I beleive we could have won the game and had a decent chance had we made it to the final.
Some of the selections of this series are not looking ahead to the next world cup but who knows what players have not been selected as they maybe looked burnt out or needing time off for the off season to right themsleves for their club and maybe put their hand down when asked if they were fit to play the series.
As far as chucking any pleayers at this test series - Wayne Bennett and GB - enough said

I see Wane has said today that Newman will go back to Leeds a different player after 3 weeks with him. I'm sure Rohan Smith will appreciate those comments.

This is the side of Wane that I don't like, the incessant need to big himself up. Whether or not there's truth in what he's saying it doesn't need to be made public and its comments like that which wind opposition fans up.

This isn't an anti-Wigan thing either. If another high profile coach had said similar I would be quick to criticise. I'm sure he thinks the players in the squad have no idea of a good culture or a winning mentality. He couldn't be further from the truth.

You got a link to the article?

Well Newman certainly hasnt a winning mentality.
