The weather come playoff time is always superb isn't it.................................

Yet if we meet in the playoffs you will cack yourself.

The idea that you’re going to do ‘damage’ in the play offs simply because puddings like Clubb, Isa, Powell and so on have all (somehow) been part of Grand Final winning sides is absolute nonsense. As soon as you face Saints or Wire (if you get that far) you are going to lose. How are we on cruise control this time every year? Last season was the first time we finished top since 2014 and we won the Grand Final that year beating Wane’s Wigan.

I agree with the overall point about the standard of SL being rubbish but no real stand outs? Thompson, Roby and Walmsley is a front row that is better than a lot of NRL sides and is world class. Whilst Coote fell out of favour last season, he was a key part of the Cowboys side which won a Grand Final and got to another. He was being touted for Origin at one point and turned down big offers from the Sydney clubs. He’s the best fullback in SL by a mile and would get into several NRL sides with the way he’s playing. And Aussie clubs are knocking the door down to get our players, Walmsley turned down St George to sign a new contract, there’s a lot of interest in Thompson and Holbrook hasn’t yet signed a new contract so it’s very possible he could leave at the end of the season as well.

All things you said about Ben Barba last season when you won the.......oh wait a minute.

Struggling to see the relevance, I was responding to Coote being labelled as nothing special in the NRL.

That makes Ryan Bailey a world beater and Walmsley is not on the same page!!!

Fixed that for you

Course it was



Gleeson (Sean)
Dallas, Aspinwall, Wild, Carney
Brown, Moran,
Seu Seu, Newton, Sculthorpe, Allen, Tickle,Beswick.

Replacements: Hansen, Godwin, Guisset, Hargreaves.

It was even worse at the time then it looks on paper as kids like Hansen, Hargreaves and Beswick went on to have good careers but were all junior players. I look at that realistically and think that Terry Newton is the only cert to get on our current best 17. The two wingers would probably get in (although a fully fit Manfredi could take either) and then maybe somebody like Danny Shorpe or Guisset.

In short you’re chatting out of your backside (as usual).

I agree. The only quality in that team was:

Dallas
Carney
Newton
Tickle
Hansen

Nice to see old friends returning....

All this rain was bound to flush up a turd or two!

Puddings who have more SL rings than basically the entire Saints team LOL. Hey I’m delighted you are so confident, it’s last year all over again minus super Benny Barba



You’d better hope Wigan don’t make their way into the playoffs and come up against you, because it is YOU who will your pants and lose. When it comes to the crunch we’ve got your number and you know it, even a Tesco Value Wigan will scare the life out of Saints.

Dont talk daft orrell lad.We lost last year to a decent Warrington side in the semis in a 1 off game.This year the top 2 get 2 bites at the cherry .Wigan this year arent a decent side and if for some miracle you scrape into the top 5 will fall at the first hurdle when you come up against either us ,wire or hull.
Im sure the saints forwards will be bricking it having Clubb,Flower,Isa Tautai and Bullock running at them.Not one of your best 13 wouild get into the saints side.

Ha ha

Hardaker, Gildart, Williams Flower, Greenwood, Farrell and Lockers would all be watching from the stands?

What has being part of a successful team got to do with individual ability? That Wigan squad is being shown up for what they are now Bateman, Tomkins and Wane have gone, puddings. You’ve got no chance of beating us in the playoffs, the only teams who are capable of putting in a performance that could beat us in a one off game are Wire and Hull. As saintnickle says, not a single one of your players gets into our team, not even ‘best fullback in the world’ Dan Sarginson. You have a rubbish squad and an even worse coach.

Coote is miles better than Hardaker, the stats back that up. O’Loughlin is finished, Williams is one of the most overrated players in Super League and Lomax is currently miles better, Flower is bang average at best and hasn’t made 100+ metres once this season which is pathetic, Greenwood is nothing special, Farrell is injured every couple of weeks and we’ll stick with Percival and Naiqama over Gildart. So yes they would indeed all be watching from the stands.

Well this time last year it was how Barba is the best player in the league, Saints will walk the title etc etc.

Fast forward to today and Coote is the best FB in the league and Saints will walk it again.

We've seen and heard it all before.

A moment of pure madness from Ben Flower is the only reason they haven't remained "potless" in over a decade.

Because that's what I said, wasn't it? The straw man argument; the refuge of those with nothing relevant to say.

Remind me who one of the greatest coaches of all time picked at centre out of Gildart and Percival last year will you please?

It’s slipped my mind.

And who he continues to select as his captain.

FWIW:

Coote
Makinson
Naquima
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Lomax
Walmsley
Roby
Thompson
Greenwood
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Paulo
Knowles
Amor
Taia

Seems folk on Red Vee think we are obsessed with them as we’ve gone to 8 pages, that’s a laugh every post they put on their pages they can’t resist mentioning us, oh and always in derogatory terms, never constructive......well maybe once or twice we get a compliment,

We haven't yet played in a semi-final this year
