That will get you nowhere with me, I've lost to scores like those and I have won with scores like those.

If you get beat that much, you're not good enough to play your opposition. You should try harder, train harder and work harder to improve. Self pity gets you absolutely nowhere in life. It's no good feeling sorry for yourself.

Thats just a daft way to look at it.

is it hell, put Thurston in the London Scholars team and make them play St.George, they'll still get annihilated, would Thurston still need to train harder?

Completely right! Saint Simon, even with adult teams/players then I still feel they should be given the chance to adapt and develop before being given tough games and I feel it is more important with young players coming into the game.

Perhaps or I hope Saint Simon we are not Old School in attitude? and want to see what is best for our Great Game not singularly minded all the time for our own team!

I meant as a team, not individuals. For me once the players are on the pitch they are a unit. If one person makes a mistake its the rest of the team's duty to clear up the mess and pick up the player.

And when did I ever say anything about playing dirty?

I believe all players should train as hard as possible to insure these cricket scores arent ever ran up against you. Its about personal pride.

Wind your neck in, were mostly Saints fans here not former Saints fans who jumped ship for some random reason(s).

Our kids putting in a top performance is certainly something to boast about. Well done lads!

I'm not saying not to be pleased! but come on "annihilate" is a bit OTT to say the least, but then reading the praise Big Mac gets sometimes here it seems part of the course for some "current" saints fans!

I may support QUINS RL and have done financially, but it is RUGBY LEAGUE that comes first, not simply biased sole "bury you head in the sand" interests for one club only, and I know I am not alone in this attitude around the country!
