I was dreading the minutes silence, and expected Saints' fan base to be tarnished by the actions of a sizeable proportion of an ale fuelled crowd.Gladly as fans we were magnificent, despite the fact that the majority of us despised the guy on the field for some of the most blatant and premeditated acts of thuggery I've ever seen in a game of RL.
Fantastic that, despite the drink and the emotion of the occasion, we were able to rise above a cheap shot which would have seriously damaged the rep. of the club and realise that the rugby player doesn't necessarily represent the man.
As above, deepest sympathy for the family.
