You're the thick one.

Are you on about my lash again?

OMG

thats the most alarming thing i've ever heard!

I hope to god it's not at my daughters school!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God has a capital 'g' at the beginning and you have forgotten the apostrophe in 'daughter'. Hopefully your daughter will not follow her parent's example.

Interesting, but even if the communication were to come from outside, it doesn't change the fact that Meli and Jones were out numbered 3 to 2 and took the best decision possible. I'm not suprised that you're not interested in my long winded explanation, as it clearly dismisses your implication that it was Francis Meli at fault.

I liked Jones from what I saw, he had some nice moments with ball in hand against a very physical side. Its also nice that he looks like a decent size for an 18(?) year old, with the new generation of backs like Atkins, Watkins and Hall being that bit bigger.
Can anyone who've seen him play in the juniors give us an insight into his playing style? Of the young centre's outside the first team, its Percival who's name I would recall first, but I think he's a step younger.
I wonder how much we'll see of Jones through the season. Wheeler's been going well, injury wise, so maybe his jinx has lifted.

Look people: Meli made lots of defensive howlers 3/4 years ago and so every try conceded ever since then is automatically his fault, OK? Our agenda'ed opinions were all formed irrevocably years ago about him, and inconvenient facts about his consistent top perfomances for nearly the whole of the last 3 years will not be allowed to get in the way of them. The try was all his fault. Story. End of. Just deal with it and move on...

Quite a high chance josh will play on Friday instead of Wheeler due to injury. Not 100% sure yet but I'll tell you more if I get told anything

Nothing like being thrown in at the deep end. Wire then Wigan. The reserves are going to seem very pedestrian all of a sudden.

Well I'm glad Josh Jones played last week so this thread could come into existence

There are some pearlers in here! Very amusing

Indeed there are. SaintsFan's attempt at the floccinausinihilipilification of other posters because of their spelling, grammar or punctuation has given me a great deal to smile about. But, for god's sake, this is an RL internet forum, not the London Review of Books or the Times Literary Supplement. In any case, if her English Lit degree was a decent one she'd know that god does not always have an upper case G, either now or in the past. It's a convention, adopted by some, but not all, Christian writers in the 17th and 18th centuries; medieval and early modern writers regularly used a lower case g (or d if writing in Latin); and such practice is relatively common for contemporary writers of both fiction and non-fiction, christian and non christian (and the same applies to christ and Christian).

Many thanks to Offside Monkey for his clear explanation of the try that Meli did not let in; as someone who never had the privilege of playing league (union I'm afraid, but I've been rescued), it's great to learn from someone who knows that my own untutored interpretation of that play is supported by a chap (or woman) who knows the game as a player.

Nothing to do with that so stop being childish. I didn't ask for it. I was asking for an explanation of the play. I was provided with it. End of story.

Never mind 3/4 years ago. He did it in the last Grand Final and for that I will never forgive him. He can't go soon enough for me. Makinson is already twice the winger that Meli will ever be.

For the sake of the kids you teach


GET OFF THE CRACK!


(and i'm a massive fan of Makinson)

Grow up Simon.

If you keep making ridiculous statements, people will keep thinking you are ridiculous

I couldn't care less what a bunch of keyboard warriors think. That doesn't change the fact that some of the stuff you write is extremely childish.

Fine we got it,you dont like Meli and yes he does make mistakes,but what rugby player doesnt ? . If your going to judge players on mistakes in big games then Billy Slater would never get near a green and gold shirt again.Mistakes happen,they are part and parcel of the game,some positions highlight them more than others,the back 3 being more so than the rest.

Yes Makinson is a great young prospect,BUT he has been found out positionally on more than one occasion ( as pointed out by Pete once or twice ).Over the course of his career he will make some blunders,are you going to jump on those with the malevolent glee you seem to have when you highlight Meli's ?

Coming from someone who posts total tripe all the time.

P.S. I am a time served Electrician who has also worked as a production manager and an Engineering Supervisor in factories. I think that makes me more educated than you. 5 years learning Electrical principles and Engineering principles as against reading a few books.

Do we all now have to post our qualifications with our posts. I thought this was an internet forum not an English Competition. I sometimes use grammar, but I don't review all of what I write. It's about my thoughts not about my spelling. Granted sometimes poor grammer can result in not getting your point across, but Saints fan quite clearly gets the point and so then resorts to English to critise.

Very Similar to when I used to have discussions with Wigan fans five years ago, they were a poorer shadow of what they are now, so when they could not argue their team was better they resorted to crowd counting competitions. Basically changing the arguement just to keep arguing.

It's the first law of internet posting, if you've lost an argument, bring up their spelling or grammar

What has saintsfan done to upset so many people?

Is it her love of Royce?

It'd be boring without her, but like all the best women she's infuriating!
