Having had a season like we have had I am very disappointed with our fans on this site. I can accept constructive critisism of players but what I ve read on here since Saturday is discraceful. Yes we all are disappointed to lose to Wigan and maybe we should have played better but eh someones got to lose and maybe we should give Wigan more credit rather than looking for scapegoats.
Lets face it we were always going to struggle once Leon cried off injured and then we all realised Kyle was never going to be 100% for the last 6 or 7 games.
However for me its been a good year
1) We could have won the Semi with a bit of luck with last minute injuries and dodgy refereeing costing us!
2) We did battle into 2nd despite all our injuries and eventually did made it to Ond Trafford ( something I though was pie in the sky half way through the season). Oh how the wire would have loved to be there.
3)We bloodied and developed some of our younger players many of whom are very promising and hopefully will kick on next year. We were forced into this after being decimated with key injuries for all of the season.
4)Players have had to cover and play all over the pitch in positions which were alien to them, Wilkin and Flannery probably suffering the most.
5)We have now started to see our new ground progressing and are looking forward to seeing the stands go up next year.
6)We finished of at KR in style with a memorable last league game against Cas, a great playoff game against the wire maintaining our SL unbeaton record and then finished off with the Giants and KC last score.
7) We continue to be one of the main sources in superleague and there is no doubt we will be there or thereabouts next season.
Yes its is disappointing to lose a final. I know i've seen a few especially in the 80 and early nineties and more recently the GF defeats. But we have all got to now stick together and support the team and I just don't see the point in slagging them off.
For me I'll always be a saint until I die! I just wonder if many of you can say the same?
thats our fourth grand final loss on the bounce and you say your dissapointed at some of the saint fans?.....
