On the 64 minute point when Riley scored to make it 22 - 6, our team 'eased' off and started to save their bodies for the Wigan game on Saturday, that was plain to see. I didn't want them to do that because I wanted more tries scored. If after the Riley try was scored TS had sent out the message 'go get them' we would have probably won by 20 points or more.

Absolutely this, and a couple of the dubious calls disallowing try's would have given the scoreline a more realistic margin.

I recall Briers kicking to the corner with 15 to go lilke he was running down a
'2 minute clock'. Obviously the team or TS had decided enough was enough save some for Saturday tea time

He's right in that case though. I'm sure the vast majority of people would have Westwood over Wilkin and Hill over Clough. The only one worth a debate is Carvell and Perry, on recent form it's Perry for me.

As a complete set of 10 I'd take our first choice lineup over anybody else's at the moment when they turn up to play, and one-eyed clueless Wire fans drunk on success arguing over a couple of the players out of that 10 doesn't change that one iota.

Ah I thought you was talking about those 3 cases.

Also, 10?

Edit: Forwards and subs?

More banter? From what I can gather, with your quote re Saints having the best pack in SL, most other Saints fans think you're even more one-eyed and clueless than we are.

Yes, 10 as in 6 on the park and 4 subs in the modern game. I'd have Westwood and Carvell over Flannery and Clough in a heartbeat, who wouldn't, but that wasn't the point being made. As a complete set of 10 I think I'd marginally take Saints' over Warrington's. The comparison is a bit less equal in the backs though

What's the matter dear? Your bridge getting draughty? Go and hassle some other poor sod with your pointless inanity instead.

There are two players in Saints pack that would get in ours. Roby and Puletua the rest wouldn't get a sniff.

With regards to "inanity", what is the point of having a my pack's better than your pack 'debate'?

To then questioning someone from an opposing view is beyond inanity it borders insanity, as we would surely back the majority of our own players especially from two top teams. The same could be said of a bit of banter with Wigan, but I'm not sure if you would have the same discussion on the Widnes board for example?

Re: nice n easy.... : Tue Aug 07, 2012 4:24 pm  

Saints pack so much better that it was totally dominated and we didn't even have two first choice forwards playing.
Go figure
