I dobn't continually dismiss the team mid game when we're in front when the chips are down, then after the game come on the board and drag up previous posts were we've discussed our failings.
I voice MY opinion on what I see/think and I give an explanation for that. I even voiced my opinion in a petition 2 years ago (lest you forget or has Barista et al dragged it up yet again recently?) because I was frustrated/angry with how the coach and the team were going.
I've attacked the coach very very strongly when I thought it was justified ( if you say you've never done that then you're a liar) I've given praise when i thought it was justified, I've fought back from some of your and other posters abuse like for like but I am not a sad troll who desperately clings to old posts to try to score points, nor am I a hypocrite of the worst kind that gives up on her team then points the finger at others.
that's the worst kind of fan frankly and you and the other lapdogs drooling over it can do one

Quote ="knockersbumpMKII"You're a sad hypocrite who gives up on the team as soon as things get a bit tough. Typical attention seeking troll.'"
I was there today, applauding everything in a spectacular and iconic win. Let's not forget Cas are top and score an average 7 tries a game, so with the MoS missing and a man down after 22 minutes I thought it was reasonable to assume a defeat, as the link below in the national press opines, this was very much "against the odds". It would have been tricky to anticipate the heroics of Radford's team, but fortunately the gametime he has afforded our younger players in recent weeks (Turgut and Fash) again paid dividends, as did his clever rotations. I think we're all delighted for him and the squad. Please don't spoil it by resorting to personal insults, there's no need. Save your energy for savouring this win would be my advice quite honestly.

The worst kind of fan? What like being there today and applauding, cheering and celebrating a famous win? Sure..
This thread is barely 2 games old, so fresh in the memory. Worth checking in on the dramatism I thought to see whether two games has made any difference to the stated position of freefall. Trajectory, or "momentum" can be very important.

Then why drag stuff up someone posted possibly when they was a little miffed after both the Leeds, Salford, Wire and Wigan comebacks? Why not concentrate on the good day weve had as a club?
Everything you say is either trying to get a bite, or has some twisted double meaning like i said sad and twisted

It was a statement of trajectory, implying we were in freefall, and it was 2 games ago. Given we're now a point off top having played everyone it didn't seem unreasonable to revisit the analysis to check whether we should still be alarmed.
I have concentrated extensively on the good day we've had. Read my post match tweets. Delighted, superlative, immense, just a handful of adjectives used. What did you make of it, I may have missed your similarly detailed take on events this afternoon?

| Rather have fans who doubt a result when we have a man sent off 22 minutes in against the table toppers, than fans who apparently gave up on the club years ago and won't come back even after a cup win and table topping regular season and yet still trawl the forums daily out of some sad need for attention rather than genuine passion for our wonderful sport and club.
At least we're not going backwards anymore.

nothing gets won in early season, weve lost games we should have won and won games we should have lost, last season we marched through the league only to fail at the end of the season (Challenge Cup aside), we're doing OK in my view, we've got the players, we just need some consistency, get Houghton back and some longer stints from Ellis, so long as we're top 8 then its all good. Worried we'll get Saints away in the draw tonight mind!

| We were too lucky with injuries last season, no one got forced to be rotated and we obviously stuck with the winning formula. Our rotten luck with injuries to forwards recently might actually be a blessing in disguise come the business end.

Indeed, a real rough house prop would be a welcome addition, a wrecking ball off the bench, but there aren't many available

Tongue was firmly in cheek, especially with Friday's game in mind.
Your first line sums it up, and why this thread was so daft in the first place, a knee-jerk reaction. It's still April, we're 11 games into a 30-game season, the top5 are separated by just two points. We shouldn't be peaking now, but staying in the hunt and picking up points, and that's exactly what we are doing. You can't go wild when we lose two games, just like you can't get overexcited after winning two games.
I'd take Saints away in the cup again though.

| We seem to have prioritised the Cup in recent years but now the monkey is off our back perhaps priorities might change.
If we were to get a tough away draw and come up short it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
All guns blazing for a Grand Final is the new Golden Fleece.

Not easy though is it.
Only half a dozen teams ever got there including us.
Would be pretty special to get there and win it mind.

Its also quite clear that we are far too reliant on Houghton & Ellis, when even one of these isn't on the field we play poorly never mind when both are absent as was the case for most of the game today.

Particularly pleasing to put this one to bed. Of course we miss them when they don't play, but a two man team we ain't.
