As if you barstewards winning wasn't bad enough, you scuppered my handicap treble n all!


Fair play on the result tonight, a lot of teams would've rolled over at half time.

Think Shaul and Naughton, justified there place, both made mistakes, but have great enthusiasm and pace which we need.

Just finished playing darts....thanks for asking. Great result.

Another win at Langtree Park, we really do seem to have the sign over the champions there.

Delighted for the players given our disadvantage on interchanges, some great team spirit and response to the half time team talk.

Very frustrating opening quarter, summed up the season with chances bombed and umpteen forward passes. Some good expansive and more innovative play too, certainly not one out. Nice unexpected win.

I did say I wanted him to do poorly next season on the back of yet more bollox he comes out with when we lose, yet the same old crap play, same old mistakes.
In hindsight I was wrong, he fails, the club fail, as much as I can't stand the bloke and think he's robbing the club of being better than they are I do want us to win.
I had already offered my congratulations right at the game ending and have never held back in doing so when it was deserved, I also do not enjoy any opportunity to have a pop, it's just that we've being so poor the last two seasons having a pop rather than accepting mediocrity as many have done is bourne out of frustration and anger.

We did fantastically well in that second half, I hope we can go through the rest of the 8s with as much passion, endeavour, positivity and execution.

Glad you beat them, can't stand the arragant to$$ers. From the top to the bottom. How they maintain to call themselves the entertainers. I don't know.

Radford obviously said to the team the pressure is off go out and play rugby and move the ball wide.Had it not been for the errors in the first half it could have worked well.
Although St Helens contributed to their own downfall, in the second half we tidied ourselves up and the desire by a patched up team made me feel proud.
Several outstanding individual performances tonight and Radford handled what interchanges he had available to him very well considering he was using two of the under 19s.
More of the same expansive stuff next week against Leeds for me even if we do make some errors.

Your fans lost all respect when you started having a go at Adam Quinlan. No need.

Isn't it commendable when some on here have to bull themselves up for actually congratulating our team when we pull off a very good and unexpected result.


As for Radford talking bollox, well, we all have our own opinion.
Comes across as pretty honest for mine.
Never gets too carried away after we have pulled off a cracking result, or been beat in games we possibly should have won.
Articulation will never be his forte but if it carries on irritating some on here, all the better.


Well done everybody involved.

Its as plain as day, innit?

You make a habbit of that, you said signing Naughton was a mistake that would "bite us" and that we didn't need him nor Pryce.

Wow some win that, never saw that coming. I was out in Leeds, my face must of been a picture when I checked the score at 21:45. Hopefully the Rhino's well send over a youth team next week, saving the big guns for the Cup Final. Still not convinced with this Super 8's lark but 6th place looks doable.

Well we still have to go to Wire and from what I've seen of them, I believe we're more than capable of getting the points. I also think we can beat the Giants and Catalan at home so there's still plenty to play for. More performances like last night and one of two of the doubters might return.

Indeed.
My only concern being, that we tend to reserve performances like this for away games. Good job we got four of 'em.

Well what a win ,at one point I thought I don't care if we don't go on to get the win the enthusiasm and effort shown was the best shown all season that's all we ask for,the touch rugby shackles off rugby paid off ,we must of completed more offloads than all season put together ,then we get the win was worth the diversion on the way home well done all come on you ull!

So we dont produce youngsters eh!!!!
I think the ones that played last night have proved we have kids with plenty of potential.
Perhaps if we gave odd ones a chance now and then they may develop instead of putting them in as a last resort but what the hell do we supporters know.

really looking forward to the Leeds game on Friday, after last nights game confidence must be high in the squad.

An interesting comment and makes me remember a conversation I had before the Wigan under 19's game with a senior member of our Coaching staff who unofficially lamented the demise of our Under 19's and the new Academy stuff. His comment was that Wigan and Leeds have had around 8 years at the level we are at to hone their operation while we have had just two years at Bishop Burton. He said there are already signs of some great talent emerging, as good as we have produced for years (his words not mine) but its too early to judge the set up now. I know that our youngsters are supposedly ring fenced for 5 years or so but I get his point and we had some fine young players on show last night the for me the new system simply hasn't been given the chance!

Great result last night. Well done FC and Radford. Lets hope Naughton keeps his place now as he deserves it

On a side note how can HDM give lineham the same rating as Watts and higher than Abdull and paea ?

Them players ratings are a bit daft. If Hull/Rovers win all the players just get 7s and 8s. If they lose its 5s and 6s.

When Rovers won the semi I seem to think quite a few players got 10s. While there may have been more pressure on that game, we have seen much better individual performances throughout the season only get marked as 8s.

Just something to fill the page with.

I think the ratings are about right, I'd drop Sa to a 5 and Lineham to a 7.

That's more like it Dave.

Great win, is this the first time in our history, I wonder, that we've won twice in a season at St Helens?

This is all we can ask of the team in the remaining games, to go out and compete. We won't make the 4, we all know that, but as long as they give it a go and don't simply put their feet up then there can't be too many complaints on here (well not too many, this is Fc after all)

I never said we didn't need Pryce, I said I would have preferred to give Adbul a chance if you had bothered to read properly, and I have said since some months back that Pryce has performed better than I expected.
I thought I said Howarth was a wasted signing (which proved correct) but in any case we had ample cover in all the positions Naughton played so my poitnt was valid!
At the time of signing Naughton we had effectively three first team wingers (Lineham, Talanoa, Micheals), we also had Lancaster, who knew that Lineham was going to be sold and Talanoa/Micheals have to cover Sa and Yeaman in the centres. We also had Logan and with Shaul & Rankin scrapping for the FB role there was no place for Naughton hence his 7 games all season.
It's all well and good saying stuff in hindsight but who was to know that both Yeaman and Sa would have such poor seasons, clearly the coach didn't because why retain/play them at almost every opportunity until it was too late.
I'm sure you are 100% correct in everything you say but I wouldn't want to trawl through all the random total bollox that you mostly spout to check so well done to you.
