Well I prefare to support a team that gets into finals, more than can be said for your lot. Then again yet another coach can have a try until he gets sackked like most of the others for no trophies.

Well I wouldn't say about sacking the coach just yet. Potter aint a liked man

Welcome to the also-rans club, may your stay be long and fruitless

Well, at least we bottled finals and not semis!

Either way we're both losers

Well looking at the empty seats last night even the stains glory hunters didn`t come out ot the woodwork

They were in the pub in Billinge in their replica tops.

Embarrassing.

It's always the same mate, in work this week I've been asking a few Saints fans are they going the game. The majority of them was going but there was to many saying not going this year, gona watch it in the pub etc... Same fans that don't even go watching them at home when it's only 10-15 minutes away, they'd have been better going to be honest because no doubt the Wigan fans in Billinge will of had a field day

Wish I was working today, you can tell who the Saints and Wigan fans are after a night like last night

Congrats on losing a week later than we did

but you still finished the season with the same amount of trophies as us. At least we can take comfort in the fact we are team heading the right direction. With the young quality we have over the next couple of seasons we will be challenging for the top 2 spots. If your honest you'll admit Saints are an aging side on the slide. Welcome to the transistional period. May your stay be long and frustrating

Only 65,000 at the match.

Pretty poor.

James Graham was totally smashed about by the Leeds pack.

That I can live with, so long as it isn't as long and evidently frustrating as yours.

I was on the Middlebrook retail park about 4pm yesterday. There was a family of Saints fans all in the current shirts and saints hats walking around Marks and Spencers.

You cant beat a good pre match shopping trip. Maybe they thought the game was at the Reebok Stadium.

BUT he kept on getting up every time and was there to take the ball in the next set. Graham is one excellent prop. Id have him at Wigan without a second thought.

Think Wigan fans are getting abit ahead of themselves, Saints have some very good young players coming through Wigan may have a new coaching set up but that doesn't mean success is a given.

Which Wire will probably try to sign up!

Based on the reserve team Grand Final, if you call these young players goog then Saints are going to struggle in years to come.

I wouldn't base alot on a reserve team Grand Final.

The fact remains though is that they had 7 players in that team who had have all played first team at some point this year, our lads stuffed them and alot of our 21s still qualify for the 18s. Takes some doing that whichever way you look at it.

What would you base it on?

- The fact Wigan won the Grand Final
- The fact Wigan went a year unbeaten
- The fact Wigan finished top.
- The debuts of Sam Tomkins, Lee Mossop, Sean Ainscough, Mark Flanagan
- The fact Sam Tomkins has been voted the best stand off in Super league and is the young player of the year
- The established players who have come through our ranks Joel Tomkins, Mike McIlorum, Paul Prescott, Eamon O'carroll
- The new exciting talent that are coming through Ian Thornley, Josh Vievers, Ben Davies, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson and Joe Mellor

Again I will ask what would you base it on?

Its a good result for your young lads but that doesn't mean they will be stars in Super League.

Reserve League - Super League = Big difference

Yes Sam Tomkins, Lee Mossop, Sean Ainscough, Mark Flanagan have been good in Super League this season but Saints have had a few players do well in Super League as well.

What makes you think the Saints ones will then even though they got stuffed by ours?

Im not saying they will be but a wouldn't write them off because of losing in a reserve GF.

Why has Rommel's post crediting Wigan for winning the reserves grand final 34 -6 and collecting a trophy for their efforts been removed ?



Just posted this on the saints board but it seems to have been locked very quickly .
