I'm on about how Saints fans are the softest melts in rugby league and never stop bleating about other teams players being dirty. I thought it was fairly obvious from the text but perhaps you have trouble reading?

Actually you clearly do have trouble reading as nowhere on this thread is anyone comparing Neill Cowie to Luke Thompson. The poster you quoted says "even WIGAN had better props than they have today" (sic). See the bit in capitals? That's a place other than St Helens. Contrary to Saints fans belief, they do exist and the world doesn't revolve around the all conquering Saint Helens and their one major trophy in 5 years. I know...shocking isn't it? Who'd have thought they'd be discussing Wigan rather than Saints on a Wigan forum?

If you do want to turn the discussion to Saints, as you clearly do, are you seriously suggesting Andy Platt isn't comparable to Luke Thompson? I'll post a link to his career stats below. When Thompson's gets close to them, please feel free to come back and discuss it further.

If you have interpreted that post in that way then I'm not sure it's me who has trouble reading/understanding.

The whole premise of the post was comparing current top props to Peacock/Fielden, then saying even Wigan had better props at that time.

Unless you think the whole point of the post was to say that Andy Platt is a better prop than, say, Tony Clubb which I'm struggling to think would have merited the effort.

But then you've interpreted me comparing Thompson to Cowie as me saying Thompson was better than Andy Platt, so I can see that comprehension may be a slight issue.

Another way of looking at it is that saints have won exactly the same number of major trophies as the "mighty" wigan in that period, add 3 lls to the mix and saints have actually won more than wigan
