I wonder if Brown said we would get a lot worse before we get better when he took the job? Because we are worse now than under Rush or Potter.

But how much of that is due to the injuries we've had? You simply can't judge is this season yet.

Perhaps, but we didn't look that good before Lomax and Roby etc etc got injured.

Last year even after the poor start which got Royce sacked we only lost 8 all season; we are not even half way and we have lost 6 already.
If we carry on at the same success rate we will end up with 29 points and 7th i.e. where we are now - and I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel for the next month at least.

Dear Gods.... Here we go yet again... Every bloody season.... When will they learn?

Shall I remind you all of this thread once we've comfortably finished in the top 4 at the end of the season again (as I have to seemingly every year) once the injuries have eased and the games start to actually matter?

You're assuming the injury situation will ease. It didn't in 2011 and it may not this season either. I hope it does, obviously, but it can't be assumed.

You and your rampant positivity has no place on my forum. Get out.

The problem this year is we can hardly get excited about half the players we have coming back ..


I'm going to steal from an old thread here which still amuses me but I cant find but waiting for the likes of Perry and Meli to come back and save the day is like blowing the Horn at helms deep expecting an army and then seeing a hurd of guinea pigs coming over the hill..... a little bit of a let down

The problem that Saints & most other Super League Clubs have got in recruiting top class players is that Salford will outbid anyone of you.

Don't think so.

Players will move there only because they would be paid handsomely. We shouldn't be concerned about the players that choose to move there, as it would purely be for money.

And your point being? Money talks, especially in a sport where your career can be over so quickly and there isn't that much money around
