I've never seen such a lack of discussion, even in the off season. I guess most seem to share my view that there isn't that much new to look forward to. A major exodus of talent with no amazing new signings to buzz about.

I really haven't felt this flat and lethargic about our club in a long time. I guess SL in general is going through bad times. I know compared to some clubs we shouldn't complain at all, but its all relative to the club you support.

The season is what, 7 weeks away and I'm really not that bothered at the moment.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013

Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”

Yeah, need the season to start, but not confident we can do much this year.

I must admit, I haven't experienced a pre season quite like this one. No confidence, no optimism for the season.

I reckon it's got a lot to do with not WHO left, but WHO we brought in as replacements.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

How do you know how good/bad/average the replacements are without having seen them play?

Personally i am really looking forward to the season starting.

I admit this has been the most boring preseason in a longtime. looking at the amount of posts that seem to have been made i would presume that site traffic is very low in comparison to previous years?

There is definitely a flatness regarding RL at the moment. When the season finishes there is seldom a mention of anything in the press and it is almost like the sport hibernates for 4 months.
