Don't see why...

Because McCarthy-scarsbrook never winds the opposition up when Saints are winning.

The results that would have grated with me more as a Saints fan were Wembley last year and the semi final playoff in 2018, where Saints lost out on two trophies because of losing to Wire, which is something that would never have happened in the past.'"
Losing to Warrington doesn't bother me. You've been a top side since Moran started splashing the cash and you are long overdue success. In the past we were vastly superior to Warrington in all areas, that hasn't been the case for getting on for ten years now, probably since Cunningham retired. But groups of results between the top sides often go like that. It has always been Saints > Bradford, largely Bradford > Leeds but Leeds > Saints. You struggle to beat Wigan, where we've had far more success. I don't expect us to win trophies either, I want us to but sport is sport, all the other teams are striving for the same thing and at times you lose. We've been here before with Warrington and it's not panned out as people claim it's destined to. Saints have lost one proper league game in 489 days according to Twitter last night. I'm not losing any sleep over that, nor would I if you were to dominate Super League this season like we did last, it's bound to happen eventually.

It doesn't. No more than any other team. Maybe it will when you win Super League. I think I'd watched Wigan win 12 championships before i saw Saints win one. That gives you hatred and bitterness, losing one Challenge Cup final and a couple of semi finals doesn't have the same impact.

If you're claiming the two London defeats don't count because you fielded a weak team then you can claim last night didn't count can't you?

That stat is garbage. One London game we definitely threw with a severely weakened team, but the other loss we had a far stronger team out than last night and certainly went there to win. It was golden point (so didn't "lose" in 80 mins I suppose) but a loss in a game we went out to win for sure.

Yeah. And Wembley was because the ref cheated, so really, we're still amazing.

| For a small relatively unsuccessful team when compared to our more glamorous neighbours we don't half seem to have got under their skin. Why on earth would one spend the best part of their Friday on the forum of a team that has just beaten you?

| My advice to Saints fans is enjoy whatever success comes your way this year, because after it you will be in need of major, [imajor[/i transition.
Of their starting 6 forwards, Thompson is off to the NRL and the rest are well past 30 and tailing off into periods of niggly injuries and decline.
The much heralded youngsters in the pack really didn't look like they fancied an attritional battle without Uncle Alex to hide behind and the backs without Makinson and Coote look pedestrian.
Face facts, the current squad peaked last year at OT, then flattered to deceive against Salford last week and finally got found out last.night.

Talk about getting carried away!
The end is nigh!
I assume when you say all our starting pack are "well past 30" you have forgotten Walmsley/Knowles (not yet 30) and are including Peyroux who is well past 30 in that he turned 31 three weeks ago?
Roby and Thompson will be tough to replace for sure.

Speaking of being attacked, have you stopped issuing thinly veiled death threats to a certain referee?

There's more important games to come, and both clubs will want their best 17 on the pitch. That was neither sides best 17, but you rarely have that luxury in contact sport. We'll enjoy the two points for now, and look forward to further encounters. No point in getting over excited after round two of SL.

You could say that about any side. BMM is off to the NRL, Hill, Widdop, Gelling and Clark are entering or about to enter periods of decline. Austin will be back in the NRL if anyone will take him etc etc. Saints will always be relatively strong as we will produce quality young players consistently.
Your post is like something I'd post on our forum in the Cunningham days when everyone was telling everything was perfect when it clearly wasn't. That didn't take long to turn around.
This is why Warrington fans get mocked so much. One win and you're proclaiming us finished and Warrington invincible. Neither is true. But it's good for the competition that you're back to chest beating and feeling supremely confident, could set up a great season if Hull live up to their promise too. Compare to the woe is us posts from most Warrington fans before the season started, amazing what a win against a finished bunch of dead beats can do for morale.

No I didn't include Peyroux because he's bang average at 2nd row and a total liability at centre. And Walmsley's injury record in the last 2 years speaks volumes. He's a great prop but after this year, he's gone, believe me.

True, those niggly broken neck injuries are a shocker.

| After reading the red vee posts on the game....how on earth we won that against a team of duel registered beats me. We were bloody lucky to have all our players but 1 available. They'd put put 40 on us if Warmsley and a couple more back...!
Phew...we dodged a bullet there.
