What did he say? Missed it but it sounds interesting.

Wigan will win next week.

And made a point of saying saints are the 2nd best side in the comp

Haha. I really enjoyed that. It seemed to be a direct reference to Carney saying Saints were the best despite finishing 2nd and not beating either of their top 3 rivals all season (unless you count the kids). Even as we received the trophy he got a "brilliant Saints" into his commentary.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated topic, does anyone fancy a Frankie and Benny's?

I’ve just done it again and my head hurts. A planned two minute skim read of Redvee was abandoned after 30 seconds when clicking in to the ‘Grand Final Protocols’ thread. These guys are like those conspiracy theorists who believe any covid vaccine will be used to insert a micro chip and track people’s movements but their paranoia is based around Wigan and how we get away with everything.

Jeez I hope we beat them on Friday and if it’s in controversial fashion then all the better.

and they're all having a pop at MacNamara for his post match comments, according to those sages over there Maloney should've had a straight red and not a sin bin, needless to say none of them spotted Walmsley's swinging arm tackle in the first few minutes, like you said Nicky, if we win via the worst video ref decision in the history of the sport I'll die happy

To be fair that post is pretty funny and only partly true

I couldn’t read it all after the first line or two and gave up on them.

maloneys should have been red for me

Jesus Christ! I've just seen it. What an absolute embarrassment. Someone's actually posted "clever" to it. The wit of a 5 year old passes as clever in St Helens now, does it?

And then we have the very wonderful Ralph Fridge whose contribution seems to be protecting the Redvee faithful from any Joel Tompkins one fingered assaults by ramming his tongue so firmly up everyone's a*se that poor Joel couldn't even get a finger nail in there. If I see one more "I agree" or "great post" from him on yet another "Saints are wonderful and everything about Wigan is crap" post I swear I'll physically vomit. His latest wisdom is that Angry Dave and Webbo are 'celebrities' on this board because they've 'gotten under our skin' rather than because we think their infantile rants are hilarious! I guess it doesn't take much to be a 'celebrity' over the lump. Even being a figure of fun is a massive achievement.

There you go Ralph; you're a celebrity too now. Poor sod.

Which, according to the SL table, is 100% correct lol

I quite liked that Grand Final thread.

This time last year the thread would have been about how many points they'll beat us by. This year it's about how we cheat, we own the RFL and everyone hates them.

Just cheers me up and makes me think "Wigan must be winning games again".

Exactly right egg chasing the more they moan about us the more they're scared

I get a lot of abuse on there (some of them call it banter) but I'm always polite and 90% of the time factual, which they really don't like.
One of them the other week accused me of posting about young players when Anderson was coach, look at when I joined Anderson had left two years previously.
They won't come on here and debate their points. Fair play to TYG and a couple more who do.

There are some good posters on there Reacher, Tez the Saint, Tallight Tiger etc.

ps
Only three of our players would get into their team is the latest nonsensical post.

To be fair they mention five of ours, and five of theirs.
Even picked Sam P. over Roby,

Coote (think french will win)
Inu
Gildart
King
Grace
Austin
Hastings
Walmsley
Powell
Cooper
Bentley
Farrell
Knowles

I've seen it Brian. It's an embarrassment to a club like St Helens. They really should be ashamed of themselves. My 'favourite' recently was when you legitimately, and correctly as it turned out, suggested that Catalan might feature in the playoffs. The abuse you received for daring to mention a team other than Saints and "derailing the thread" on a thread titled "Playoffs" or something similar was cringe worthy.

There are some good posters on there, too, as you mention above. Credit to them for not letting the toxicity on there infect them. I'd give them genuine respect if, like YG and FTV, they posted on an open forum though.

3? That's 3 more than normal. We've done well!

Austin? Even Wire fans think he's been awful.

Yeah, and Inu before Makinson or Tom Johnstone. Really

McShane will get hooker in the dream team.

The grand final protocol thread was just a bit of tongue and cheek fun IMO.

What you have got to understand is that most of them know nothing about rugby league, add to that the inbreeding and hence you have a big problem having a reasoned discussion.

Gildart? Played about 4 games

Surely you must see the irony of a thread about how OTT that site supposedly is and then calling them inbred?

If I was a Saints fan I'd be laughing my head off at all the Wigan fans who go on there and come back with "Redvee said this", "wonder what Redvee will be like tonight", "have you seen the post on Redvee". They seem to be occupying a large space in the psyche of some of the people on here.

Really honest question, that's open to anyone - why do people care, or keep going back & looking at a forum that triggers them so much? I honestly couldn't care if "Redvee is in a meltdown", or if someone thinks only three of our team would get into theirs.

You've established they are lacking in reason, so why engage with them - kinda makes you just as bad as they are.

Me personally i love reading through it. Its like the village of the damned over there. Its like going back to an old flame for a one night stand. You know you shouldn't but you can't help yourself. To be honest i am staggered they can type so much garbage with all those fingers. The next time we play them away and we are allowed back in i will go in a pair of sandals to show them what its like to have 5 toes on a foot.

I’m staggered anyone believes there’s much difference in either board.

Both have some really good posters, people who know a lot about rugby and some who know little, some idiots, some trolls, some wind up merchants, and lot of bias.

I’ve seen Saints fans called cretins, inbreds and retards on here. You for example making comments about fingers and toes. Then I see people complain about the vile abuse dished out on redvee. I see redvee references on here all the time then I see Saints fans being accused of being obsessed with Wigan. Similarly on redvee you see references to “scum” and inbreds when discussing Wigan.

If truth be told; both boards are as bad as each other at times and whether folk like to admit it or not, the two groups of fans on these forums are more similar than they think.

I’m with you on that one though I think this site is far better than the other Wigan one which is why I only go on here.

It’s a shame your more reasoned posters can’t come back to RLFANS and leave the idiots to fester.
