But is there really a drink culture? I mean, I have often seen Saints players smashed out of the heads staggering round town, but St Helens dont get accused of a drinking culture. I also saw the Leeds team in Newcastle once on a monday night, again, smashed and Leeds dont get accused of it. Or is it just your fans looking for an excuse?

Exactly. A point I've tried to get through to the thickheads on here many a time, but have given up. Look at Manly, now exposed as big drinkers and they are World Champions! Imagine if Warrington players at the season launch got drunk, punched a sponsor and assaulted a teenage girl!!! Fans would implode with rage.

I know our players like a drink* - but then so do most RL players. I just don't agree it's the reason we underachieve.

*that said, many of our players went teetotal during pre-season training

If we had just won the Grand Final and World Club Challenge, I would imagine most of the posts on here would be along the lines of "stupid girl, looking for attention, she deserves a slap"

True, which proves my point.
