I'm washing my hair that night!

Sts were very good. Sadly on our trip to Melbourne we had a pretty dire team. Will be interesting to see how Sts go in the short term, as the WCC has created a bit of a hangover sometimes. However, they are so much better than the rest of SL when everyone's fit it's difficult to see them not winning the comp again.

Congratulations to the SL champs on becoming World champs and matching the record of the Rhinos in winning it 3 times. You will hand us our arses on your return. Again.

Magnificent achievement, especially doing it in OZ. Exactly the kind of result IMG would have been praying for. Well done Saints!

Yeh, well done to Saints. Brilliant achievement.
I expect a few NRL teams will be sniffing sound some Saints players - Welsby obviously, possibly Dodd.

Hard to see them not doing 5 in a row.
They really have the right blend of home grown talent, experienced internationals and quality overseas players.

Great hit from Konnie at the end to dislodge the ball. Was a game changer.
But he looks like he missed the email about pre-season....

Enjoyed it this morning. I do like Welsby. He's got the bit of arrogance to wind people up.

Re: Saints V Leeds : Sat Feb 18, 2023 4:24 pm  

Welsby is the Shaun Edwards of his generation, good player great wind up merchant.

I can't hear the name Shaun Edwards without automatically adding '.. is a w@nker' in my head. It's like some kind of Pavlovian conditioning drilled into me from too many years on the South Stand.

He was undeniably a class player though.

Brilliant Saints on the p!ss all week and put Juniors out next week at Cas as can afford a beating. Unfortunately the week after is the Homecoming and we won't spoil the MASSIVE party night. Can't wait.
