You'll beat Salford!
Anyone who saw the TV game v Wigan will have seen how dreadful they really are these days.

That's down to the "saviour" of rugby league Dr Cockrash. His rash signings and listening to what fans want is a big problem there. I'm sure he sees someone on twitter say X is a good player so he signs him.

They have a team a good individuals and on their day can beat anyone but they don't look like a team, they just look like a load of players with good ability thrown together ain't no balance or thought.

Wilkin could play like Ellery Hanley every game and still get negative comments on here.

He was excellent last night. He was brilliant in the first few weeks and that last night was back to that form. He's certainly not the only one to lose some form over the last few weeks but because of his perceived wage and desire to further himself when his career is over, people thing he's more bothered about other things than rugby. You won't find many players who try harder or care more for Saints but it doesn't suit the argument of most on here.

Totally agree with you, all you read on here is negative and disrespectful comments about players , coaches and back room staff. People on here think they are coaches or even some of them think they are super league players. They have not got a clue about the game, how it should be played. All the players give their all week in week out, Wilkin is one of those, he always has and will continue to do so until he retires

[quote="The Reaper"]I was just happy to see us showing some desire. I thought we were very good in the first half. The 2nd half just saw a drop off in quality in general and was pretty hard to watch in parts, with so many errors knocking about. I'll put that down to the conditions though. I'm just hoping that we're turning the corner, rather than putting it in for one week because of everything that has been said.

At least a win will make my facebook timeline easier to read. The amount of utter idiots that post on that Saints RLFC group is unreal![/quote
Totally agree with that comment

Wilkin is a very influential player in the team, sometimes he makes mistakes with the amount of involvment he has in the majority of the matches we play.

The mistake people make on here is that because he has a no 12 on his back and he packs down in that position they assume he is a second row.......he is not.

Over the many, many years of watching Saints, the style of open rugby is partly due to our "loose" forwards and I dont mean a no 13. Most of the time presently and historically the Saints style of play is a passing game, this is where we have our back 3 adapting to that passing role.

The only problem Wilkin has is consistency, a couple of games below par and he gets slated on here.

You need to get your head out of the sand and stop being so naive.

Have all 24 of your posts been this bad? If your dumb statement was true Eamon wouldn't had to say some of the things he has in the last couple of seasons would he.

Luckily we have both ends of the spectrum, the overly gushing and the hypersaddened.


Yes Saddened has become a adjective.

I thought it was a standard unit of negativity? Aka the Bradford board is currently around 5saddeneds where as the Salford board is only 2saddeneds and the Leeds board is -2saddeneds?

We've certainly had the biggest range of measurement. From -5 Saddeneds pre Easter to probably 3 or 4 last week.

I do include myself in that. Although I'd put my self going from -4 to 2.
