is what you have paid your hard earned on to watch this year......

I knew how to spell knew and you know I knew really, there's nothing new in spelling mistakes, you should know that.

I would have thought you'd have better things to do with your time than come on here and make yourself look daft, what with your team doing so well and all.

I would pick to coach us Wayne Bennett. But that will never happen due to his family committments. So I would agree with The Key and use our ex players such as Kearney, Swain, Hasler, Peter Sterling to ask for their advice on who would want to come here, who would be best for us etc. They know what the fans want and expect and I believe they would give excellent advice.

Given who might be available, I would chose Noble- although I appreciate that this thread is more "[iif you could choose anyone[/i" he has though done the sort of job at Wigan which we could do with someone doing at Fc at the moment.

Amongst a host of others, two problems stand out for me at the moment. The first is to get the players to put the Rugby first especially off the field, and the other is, as was witnessed at Beziers, a total deterioration in basic skills, not least ball handling. All the other gripes we might have had this year, like players not attacking the line, are insignificant if we can barely complete a set- or even get through half a set.

On the first point, I think it is a shame that Paul Anderson hasn't had another year or so under Nathan Brown, I don't think the players would act up under him, and he was impressive at the end of last year.

On the second point, I remember reading in Barrie Mac's autobiography that when Tony Smith went to Leeds, training became a different matter all together which impressed Mac most, with a focus on really small things, like where to position the hands when catching passes. A little focus on this wouldn't go amiss at the moment I think.

How's the truth daft

The truth isn't daft. What you posted is.

your daft, deleting post's because the truth is hard to take at the moment.....

The posts I deleted were having a pop at Rovers, daft lad. You telling me they were true?



Oh - and any more public criticism of the moderation process on here will get you banned. Clear?

bit touchy and defensive! would'nt be the end of the world for me..

Im no longer at school plonker. I meant other than St Helens in terms of clubs. If Wigan had offered him a contract he would have gone to them seeing that he lives about 5 minutes from their ground.

Speaking to several Saints fans after the game and they pretty much said the same as I have posted, Long wasn't wanted and it was a way of letting him go with some dignity after his years of service.

Call it daft if you want.

Why isn't he at Wigan then? Surely if they had he would have gone seeing as he lives about 5 minutes from their ground.

Maybe because Saints know it is not feasible to keep an injury prone 32 year old scrum half on their books who is past it, when they have young players such as Kyle Eastmond ready to fill his boots. A young player like him you could only dream of.

maybe he had a chat with cooke about the merits of leaving to join your fiercest rivals, or maybe it's because they binned him as a youngster, or maybe becaust he thinks noble is a tw@

Who knows

cant take a knock and will end up on the wing

or on different strokes, as arnie

Jason Robinson MKII. Start at scrum half, ends up on the wing

"what you talkin' about Brother?!"

How odd. Fans writing off a player who's leaving the club - who'd a thunk it?



Plenty of Saints fans have said otherwise, but I guess you'll want to ignore them to fit in with your daft theory.


Thanks - I will.

Seemed to miss him in the Semi Final

Both Saints and Wigan offered him a contract and at Wigan he would have earned more money. Also Sainst offer Cuuningham a one year contract nowadays the same as they were doing with Long so does that mean they want rid of Cunningham?

You're just being daft.

Wigan offered him a 2year deal, more money and sent Martin Gleeson round to his house to try and convince him, and although he hadnt put pen to paper at that point, he had verbally agreed to sign and he honoured that

How odd, Rovers fans rubbishing a new FC signing !!!

Saints look a completely different, inferior side without him and that is clear to see !!
