Id agree with that.

I thought that wire were acting like pure thugs last night. The biggest offence must have from Paul Wood on a already tackled Ade Gardener. Whacked him right across the chops and he spilt the ball. Wellens getting flattened was another highlight.

I loved it. Its what Rugby league should be like.

Can beat a bit of Biff!

Thought Solomona had a good game last night, the fact that he attracts so many defenders always makes him dangerous when you consider his off-load.

However, Carvell was just awesome for them - Saints didn't just get beat - they got beat up!

Don't see how he costs us games?
He's not a turnstile, he draws in 4 players every carry, his passing is as good as if not better than most halfbacks.
People go on about him not playing a full game? He's a forward, even Benny Westwood who is easily one of fittest forwards in the game gets bench time.

He cost you the game between us and you at the HJ last year by dropping the ball over the line in the last seconds.

I put it down to -poor goal kicking, personally.

Granted but anyone could do that, show me any player who has never knocked on, he was easily one of the reasons we won the CC last year.

He's so fat he goes to KFC and licks other peoples fingers.

Hes so fat, he bleeds gravy.

watching wellens moaning with a bust mouth was brilliant. welcome to mr westwoods elbow. ive had some bad experiences with wire fans in the past but they are the minority and all clubs have em, but i wanted them to win last night. i did feel a bit sorry for them with injuries at cardiff but there pack was imense last night. i will be interested to see how many get cited for foul play though, morley and westwood with elbows, paul wood on gardner. doubt anything will come of it but the RFL do seem to be clamping down this year !!!!!

We beat them in the Grand Final and at Knowsley Road. Two things a Wire fan can only ever dream of. You finally beat them, big wow, it's about time you did. Last night was a cup final for Warrington or at least that's the impression they gave anyway.

Out of pure curiosity enlighten me on why it was a "cup final", aren't all local derby games played with intensity?
Look back at the Wire/Saints games of the past bar the result they have always been intense nail biting and brilliant games of rugby.

Excellent post....
















What's sad about this thread, with regards to the Wiganers slating Solomona's physique, is how many people seem to adhere to this boring idea that a rugby player should have a 'set' build.....Its this whole idea that has made our game so formulated and a little bit dull. The days of entertaining individuals are being slowly phased out at the expense of dull-as-dishwater, robot-like players who bring reliability, but little flair, to our game.

Just as an aside, what if a thread pops up on Sunday night on the Wire forum, with regards to Sam Tomkins scrawny physique??.....What if questions are asked about how such a weedy looking individual can dare to play our beautiful game??....I'm pretty sure, quite rightly, that many of you will jump to his defence.....

Your'e right they have, but youv'e always failed to win any of them apart from last night. My point was more towards the fact that we have beat them recently in two very important games. One being the Grand Final and the other being the last ever Saints v Wigan derby at Knowsley Road.

People pointing out that we couldn't beat them a fortnight ago is just laughable, first game of the season and not much pre season behind either team and throwing away a 16 point lead after defending to the intensity that Wigan did is hardly a "but you couldn't beat them" reason is it?

i think whats annoying, and a bit narrow minded is that they're not taking into account the fella's samoan.

That's a p[ii[/iss poor excuse for admitting he's fat. George Carmont is a Samoan, but he's as thin as a lat!

He's simply overweight, granted he's always been a big lad, I Remember his days a Roosters and Parramatta a long time ago and he was never that big.

Come on He's just big boned...give the guy a break you narrow minded Fattist!!!

lol

Six pages on a fat fella, wow.

If he continues putting on superb passes to his support players, I'll personally go round and give him lard butties, on the hour, every hour

Trust me he does! Awesome player though, don't begrudge players enjoying themselves as long as theyre putting it in on the pitch

Solamona may not be the fittest bloke on the pitch however he is one of the best at what he does. And comparing him to Feka is ridiculous, they are completely different players.

hes suffering from water retention.........or chip retension.

seriously.......hes big, but good.......rugby players train hard, and play hard and need to eat hard.

back before training got as intense as today i was in the KFC in INCE. Martin Dermott walked in, (sat at the next table), he ordered THREE meals........ate them in 5 minutes flat........then went training ........and he wasnt fat

You know its posts like this that not even your own fans will agree with you on..

It is posts like that which actually do this whole forum no good whatsoever......For the most part, this Solomona thread has been a good, light-hearted bit of banter.....However, idiots like Priestman just serve to stir up trouble with the nonsense they post.

I don't condone censorship, but certainly ridding this forum of morons like that, would make this place a whole more enjoyable.

Lovely irony in the preseason friendly v Wigan when all the Wigan fans were chanting 'you fat b@stard' at him - you could clearly see from the away crowd with their XXXXXL pink and white tops that he probably weighs about in at about 50% lighter than most of them.

He isn't built like a modern RL forward but so what, he is a pleasure to watch play the game. I worry how we will replace the handling skills he brings to our side when he finishes.
