Aye, you crack on with that happy clapping mate.
Just don’t be moaning about attendances in the future.



Happy clapper or realistic?

If we don’t see the Harlem Globetrotters after 4 games in 13 days, I understand it. Ancient & Loyal is lost on most people on this forum. We’ll be fine and I for one will keep turning up.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Looking at the stats from the game, there was improvement from the forwards but Tautai and Navarette need to step it up.

Carries Metres Tackles
Bullock - 13. 94. 28
Flower - 12. 87. 25
Tautai - 7. 58. 14
Navarette- 11. 94. 18
O’Loughlin - 7. 56. 25
Smithies - 11. 62. 35
Greenwood - 17. 101. 28
Isa - 10. 61. 37


How many minutes do you think Tautai played?

It’s not about being fine. It’s about the total lack of entertainment and people suggesting they don’t believe Lam is the fella to get us playing well AND winning.
I for one haven’t seen much to persuade me to go back to paying to watch Wigan RL, this season. Sod being loyal, I’ve got a family to look after and pay for. They aren’t entertained by the dean we’ve seen from the club for at least the last 2 seasons.

Re: First 40 attitude : Fri May 03, 2019 6:47 pm  
One of the things I always think about regarding a coach is, if the team has a real stinker of a first half, as yesterday, you hope and expect to see a considerable improvement in the second half after he has had a word at the break. We often saw that in the Wane era; without being transformed into something wonderful, we generally at least saw a bit more spring in the step.

However, the change against London was only from 'abysmal' to 'really poor'. That does not bode well.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Re: First 40 attitude : Fri May 03, 2019 7:06 pm  
I guess what people class as being entertained is always going to be a subjective one.

Take the Madge era for example. Some people found the tactics and approach boring, but I personally loved the intensity and enjoyed knowing we'd rip in every week too. The guaranteed intensity, taking pride in their own performance & executing the basics well is what kept me coming back every week.

Wanes team on the other hand might have been a bit slicker with the ball, but you'd never know if they'd be ar$ed turning up or not.

I'd rather see a 4 - 0 than a 36 -30 type game that's strewn with errors and lack of effort.
