Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"Mr Wind up merchant, that isn't the point, as well you know. The point was that they put real effort in and kept on going even when the tide was coming at them non-stop. Cas let more tries through a week before than did the Celtic boys, some of whom had not played at that level before. Yes, the Crusaders got a spanking, but I'm sure Dixon made it clear to the lads that it was a game for experience and not to feel downhearted at the result. I think it is great that there are genuine, non-Australian Welsh guys who actually want to play league and were willing to play their hearts out even though they will have known beforehand that the chances of a win were remote. That takes guts IMO. Good on them for giving it their best shot.'"
If the result of all that 'effort' was a 60 + flogging then I would hate to see the score if they hadn't tried
Leeds are a decent side. But they are hardly the Harlem Globetrotters of Rugby League are they??
Even though these replacement Celtic players have had no first team football as such there is simply no excuse for 13 blokes to ship 60 odd points against 13 other blokes. The Celtic players are allegedly 'professionals' They are paid to play footy.
Its like being an AA patrolman and not being able to fix a car. Its like someone getting a job in a trouser making factory who cant work a sewing machine. Its like an electrician who doesnt know the difference between pos and neg.
If these players can go 80 mins without even LOOKING like they might score I think its time they got another job
