Can’t we make it seventh.

Mad as it sounds a relegation battle would at least liven things up, at the moment the only thing to tell the difference between the 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons is wearing a mask to go to the shops or not !

Even though the club are now playing the long game, conceding 150 points in three games is not a good look, whatever the circumstances.

It’s the floating supporters we need to attract, not the diehards. 60 point defeats don’t help us in that. Seems to be a malaise in supporters attitudes as we repeat another slide into the end of a season.

Even the third best team in Super League can’t beat Saints with a man advantage for 60 minutes. Hard to get enthused about the game at the moment.

Completely agree, and watching an immense sold out Origin decider this week doesn't help with my mood about the British game at the moment.

I’m sure it’s down to drugs, take Joe Batchelor whos morphed into the best second row in the game, Bentley leaves Saints he’s become crap. James Roby is running through brick walls at a hundred, Danny Houghton is running in quicksand. French & Field are like Rock of Gibraltar & Shergar, Swift & Griffin are like Foinaven and Hercules,

It must be drugs, we’re on downers, the northwest on uppers, we need a new supplier.

Coote said Saints would thrive in the NRL. Doubt that very much.

Two weeks ago we let Handley score 5 tries against us, this week we let french score 7 tries against us...it's really not good enough.

Re: WIGAN AWAY : Fri Jul 15, 2022 11:34 pm  

poor result .Just watched the highlights. Griffin just doesnt look fit. But Simms tackling was awful. Tackling all round looked poor, Good points we have a lot back, Plus Simms looked really quick chasing after fields, big game against CAS

Stupid argument, so we cant dare criticise a player because they are bigger than us?

I also dont think he he has 3/4 years of criticism, more like a year after the latest injury, he was in the England squad before that.

OF course criticise,no problems. am on about some who have called him for over 3 years.

Actually weakish really though compared to past origin sides

No slater, inglis, Cronk, Thurston, Smith, Cordner who are all a big step up above any in their positions

England won't have a better chance of beating the aussies in a major

As said above the nrl is definitely weaker

Lost players like slater, inglis, Jennings, Thurston, cronk, smith, cordner, Thaiday etc last few years that serious quality all at once

And is there any players in their positions better than them ? Not for me

Tedesco and munster are the best Australia have these days but still nowhere near slater or Thurston level

Tedesco couldn't get in the aussie 2017 side so played for Italy
