St Helens v Warrington Wolves 8pm

Ref I Smith TJ T Martin TJ C Sharrad RR A T Smith VR B Thaler MC P Gilmour

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED.

Let's hope he learns what a double movement is or isn't by Friday

Now that Klein has gone back home so he can dress up in women's clothes, at least the game will be over by 10pm - good God did that bloke drag out VR decisions.

Balls to that, let's get back to basics & make sure the s can count to 6.

We'll probably win a couple of scrums against the head.

Least we have a Ref who Saints hate just as much as we do ... Last season Anderson requested not to have Smith.

I wonder how many times Ian Smith will knock on this Friday

Well remembered: www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/spo ... -20668352/ Quote On Smith, Anderson added: “We’ve had him for four out of eight games, and I’ve had my dose of him. “I wonder if he’s up to this standard. I’m bemused by his performance in general. He’s not had a TV match – which shows something. We didn’t get a single call of the 50-50s today.”'" It goes back further than that, too. Smith was the ref back in 2005 when Saints played Wigan in that match that Long and Albert got bad facial injuries and Gilmour concussed and Newton copped a lengthy ban.

Funny that Smith gets Saints first match after Anderson has left yet didn't get another one when he was in charge after his out-burst.

Pure chance.

I'll never fear one of these threads again as it will never say A Klein.

Prefer Smith to be video ref & Thaler on the pitch!

IIRC, last time Smith reffed this game, it was the Ice Battle where we lost 18-16 in the last second.

I don't go to watch the ref. Wire fans' obsession with refs always baffles me. In the past we have hidden the team's inept displays behind the ref and blamed him. Let's get on with watching and supporting our team and not concentrating just on the ref.

I agree, I wish someone would come out and criticise the players or the coach, just once will do.

Ha ha, I sense a degree of irony here Keith Cun. I like your style.

Listen we as a team (by that I include coaches, trainers, players etc) have been a let down for a very long time.

What's the betting if we went on a 6 game unbeaten run that not once in the 6 games do we see a ref bashing column.

Good stuff.
