I told you he was on top of his game

Beaumoint was alot quieter than at Hudds, but young Green played well. Soliola was the pick of the Saints forwards. They played much better than the league game 2 weeks ago, but we always had too much for them and I don't subscribe to the sending off being the turning point, we were well on top before it happened ands they played better when down to 12. Set of dirty s though, something not usually seen from them.

Regards Burns it was good to see him give Hally some choice words regards his effort in trying to keep Eden from been pushed into touch. we received the penalty but Burns was still fuming. You can pick up his colourful language on the BBC's commentary. Guessing it went something like " You have to do f******g better there, He needs help and you've got to f*****g give it to him. Only made out the f words. Lol

comical ali's back. Have rovers won?

Dirtiest saints team I've seen in my era of watching RL, they never use to have to stoop to those levels because of the class they had throughout their team. They appear to be going through a massive transitional period on the field.

To be fair, it was his daft offload attempt that put us in that position in the first place, so a 1-on-1 steal was the least he could do!

Not really, as he's not even played yet, I wasn't alluding to injury proneness (if such a word exists) more to the loss of form of messrs Galea & Manu at their new employers. It's also possible that neither are being played to their strengths (not seen enough of either to comment) but for whatever reason, both look past it.

That Ellis comment may come back and bite your ass when he finally gets on the pitch.

I comment on every match win, lose or draw unless I don't see the game live and last week I didn't go.

Just like I don't expect to see as much feedback about your match today given only 3,879 people attended.

He also asked to be released from the final year of his contract. But when did Zod ever deal in facts?

What ever way it's dressed up you either get value for money from signing a player or you don't and all the indications are, are that Gareth Ellis is going to struggle to beat the 11 appearances he made last season which is poor value.

Given the chance would you have had him at kr before this season had started ?

The context of the original point was that player-x leaves club-x at what was seemingly the right time in hindsight. The circumstances of each player's departure were not mentioned.

Anyway, if you want to carry on bel13ving you've got a value for money signing in Ellis on 160k per year then good for you because it makes no difference to me - I'm happy very happy with our second-row signing in Cory Paterson who's form has been noted by many to be excellent.

FC fans have to understand that whilst they continue to sign players who are well past their best, then it will inevitably be mentioned occasionally on a rugby league discussion board so they need to stop being so paranoid.

If it was on a 2 year deal and on reasonable money then yes but this season has really hit home to me that being tempted by signing "big names" over 30 is just asking for trouble and thankfully my club have realised this at the back end of last year.

Must be a sad indictment of the rest of the comp if a current England international is deemed past his best.

Let me know when the likes of timuavave (sp) and Patterson ever get to that level of best

Paterson has been much better value than Ellis so far this season. FACT.
