Never really meant anything to me other than it was a streak. It was more funny than anything else.

I'm just relieved they've finally won!

I always thought when we lost to them it would feel alot worse than it did. I was expecting a tirade of abuse and gloating from the Wire lot but it only came from a few people. I too felt relief last night that the run was ended. I'm just glad it didn't end at KR, I think that will always play on the Wire fans mind, even if they try and convince us otherwise.

Are we now talking about the 1 game winning streak ??

Thanks to Keith Swiftcorn for the stats on that winning streak.

Are you sure you're not a Wigan fan? Phil Clarke in disguise.

You know, it's a fact during this year's Super League that McClennan has been able to post those facts more than any other poster and when you are able to post those facts more than your opponents you are going to put yourself into a very good chance of success. It's what makes McClennan such a tough poster.

Anyone feel a mild sense of relief? We now don't have to go into the Warrington games with any big records to uphold and the players will no longer have to carry the burden of the record on their backs? We are now free to lose to Warrington whenever and wherever we like.

...And there was me thinking that the present was more important than the past, how wrong can one person be.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Yup.


If we lack attacking ideas and defensive commitment in the way we did last night then I am sure we will freely indulge the losing instinct!

Teams that have played their entire history in the top flight - Warrington,....er there isn't anybody else (including saints!)

The Saints hoodoo has really got to me over the past couple of years.
To beat Saints was one of my three targets for the season, with the other two being getting to Wembley and Old Trafford.

Taking the win at face value it is two points, but to us fans it was far more than that.

To the team in terms of confidence and belief the win could be unmeasurable.
We had beaten every team in the past two season with the exception of Saints and I am sure to our players this was in the back of their minds, knowing that no matter how well they did there was a team we couldn't beat.

Thats the next target

Although it is only 2 points this win will give us lots of confidence that will benefit us next time we play you in a more important game.

Just for sayings sake ..... when were we not in the "top flight" ?

the fact the matter is that for so long we (Wire) have never been able to beat Saints........there have been so many "nearly" matches and (as we all have been) to be on the end of last gasp wins by drop-goals, bombs and so forth is absolutely gutting.....so arguably to win the other night has to be an achievement and permit some goading (politely and in good jest of course)

at the end of the day, as Brian McDermott himself once said it (really) is only two points; fans pay good money to have high emotions, players get paid only for the two points each game

KEEP THE FAITH .......... c'mon The Wire

thats a laugh..you cant stand our arrogance..you lot invented the word arrogant..hope you dont get to much of the preverbial taken out of you when you do show your face in warrington

We were demoted once, somewhere around 1914 or something. It was decades ago anyway. And just the once. But Warrington are the only team not to have been demoted at all. It is their one claim to fame!

Thanks for looking it up for me, i couldn't be bothered

. It's quite an impressive claim to fame though

Well that and the fact we own our own ground as well!!!Have they laid a brick at your gaff yet..

Do you? Is the HJ not a council facility then? I am asking as I don't know. I get confused as to which club owns their stadium and which rents.


Not yet but only because they have been preparing the foundations. I believe something about 'pouring' should be happening next - concrete doofas or something. I'm no construction worker so I haven't got a clue! BARR has stated that the steel frame should be started within the next couple of weeks. It will be exciting for us Saints fans to finally see our stadium start to grow!

Haha, I did my time on the train back from Widnes, when I was the only guy I could see (except from a couple of St. George-Illawara fans) with a Saints top on. Not particularly pleasant xD It didn't really bother me though, all in good spirits and I knew it would be coming soon. Now it's just waiting for you to win the league really, I suspect the gloating might not go away so easily then!

At least we will own a proper ground not a lego set!

Cheeky fooker. It took me ages to compile that and you start giving the credit to an RL Fans Johnny Nobody!
