Monday Night Rugby : Tue May 14, 2013 10:45 pm  

Big game for Sky coming up the two most successful teams of the summer era to kick off the coverage. I wonder what the effect will be on the crowds I will hold my hand up now I wont be going which is against the grain, but I cant justify getting across to Headingley on a Monday. I know we have a Wigan game on a Monday that could dip to under 12000 perhaps. Do the clubs get extra compensation for this or do they have to just take it on the chin. Friday is POETS day for many but Monday isn't.

Leeds get a big crowd anyway, I've been to a few games there and our travelling support has dwindled over the years. I've backed against Saints for the first time this year in the tipping competition, but as it's a local Saints game I'll probably pop down and watch.

I'm hoping for a bit of fight in the lads. There seams to be a few comments coming out about, it does not matter where we end up as long as we are good come the end of the year.

That's not really the philosophy I want to hear. Even when Leeds where losing in the last 2 years, it did not mean the coach was happy with that situation, far from it.

When lethary sets in and players like clough and LMS start talking about runs on the GF. I think there needs to be a bit of a wake up call. The GF is a long way off from outside the top 8.

Yes, Nathan Brown espoused it again on Boots'n'All this evening.

If this is the new Saints attitude then I hope they don't mind if I don't turn up to games until the second half of the season. I'm not going to be knowingly ripped off.

Dreadful attitude. No wonder we're seeing the performances we are if the players simply don't care.

You don't actually believe that do you? These comments are simply a way to make light of our current plight and to try and give a positive spin on the situation. You can bet, behind the scenes, they care quite a lot about playing like a bunch of girls on a hen do in town!!!!!

I'm not so sure some of them do care judging by both how they continually perform and their supposed attitude towards it.

That's not his attitude, he wants to win every game like any coach would. I think he means we are struggling now but if we stick with it, get a healthy squad come play off time that we will be ok.

My point exactly.

Then he should say that, rather than refer to Leeds and what they did and how everybody knows that it isn't how you perform in the first half of the season that counts.

If he wants to tell porkies to the camera then he gets what he deserves.
