| Is the club still hung-over from the success of last season? I'd blame player burnout from the WC, but it's not like many of ours actually did much down under. How did a top team last year turn to jelly over the summer?
I'd be fine with the results if we were blooding youngsters, but this is a squad picked from strength and we're getting tonked.

| Unless last year was a case of massive overachievement and we're now back to the true level.
I don't know, basically. It'll take a few more weeks for me to form a theory.

Dont believe that. I think a few things' arent helping you, injuries have made it a slow start for you. Not being privvy to what goes on over there but I am sure it hasnt helped with Potter leaving. Personally I am glad we played you early before you get sorted out because once you do a lot of sides are gonna cop for it.

| My initial reaction is that Walters simply isn't as good a coach as Potter is.

Now were talking, Bobbie has obviously got to the French contingent, implementing part one of his masterplan to wipe French rugby league off the planet.

You may have hit on something there. If I don't see you for some time, I'll avenge you.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Recruitment is an issue, the australian players aren`t performing, perry is woefull, bell isn`t and will never be a match winner, ryles is struggling with his shoulder.
Injuries, crocker is a sensatonal player who is out injured his comeack will help restore some confidence. Raguin is handy and they miss him.
And overall i would have to point out that maybe the aussie`s are frustrated with the fact that they live in France, Not living in an english culture after a while can really be frustrating. And i would go as far as to say that the coaching staff maybe are feeling this as well.??

When seagulls follow a trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

| Hum language maybe, but they are with several aussies there . Regarding the weather, aussies won't have the SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which they often suffer in England. On the close-to-the-North-Pole M62, the natural light is grey during the day, dark at 5pm, no wonder they get depressed coming from Queensland!
As long as frog and snail eating is not compulsory, South France is a great destination . Overall the weather is similar to a NSW/(south) Queensland weather.

34439.jpg winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

| If they don't like it they can p-off back to Oz. We ain't winning games with them, I'd rather we played from our academy than wasted time on them.
You hear that Mogg/Greenshields/McGuire ? ... (well, maybe not those 3)
