The tackle by Bailey on Fa'asavalu was a cracker.

Great thread Mr Moustache.

Yesterday I was at a christening in St Helens (more on that in a minute) and at the little soiree afterwards was talking to a bunch of blokes that I sometimes to go the Saints games with (I watched Fridays on t'telly). Consensus was it was a great, hard game - they really enjoyed it and whilst Bailey got their tempers going at the game they accepted he'd actually done nowt wrong.

They were all of the opinion that we (Leeds) had more to offer and weren't over-confident of a victory in the cup game.

The reason I tell you this is because most genuine fans don't post on here. Those that do are probably decent blokes in real life. But give them a key board and access to opposition fans and they're transformed into uber-cocks.

Spending yesterday afternoon at the bar with real ST Helens fans talking rugby was a million miles away from my encounters with the tossers posting on here Friday night and Saturday.

Anyway, at the christening, in the church there was another family having their little 'un christened. In their congregation they had Mr Stereotype who had come to a christening in a shell suit and Liverpool top (he'd made an effort, it was the home top). Absolutely genuine. I couldn't believe my eyes.

You should have taken a photo and posted it on here.

couldnt agree more!! at the world cup i had a right good laugh with fans from all clubs and did meet some very nice people from saints. also bumped into ls16 and his mrs a few times who were very nice.

Thanks mate.

Couldn’t agree more mate (not about me and the Missus being nice but about other fans). The time we spent in Oz we encountered fans from every club in the Super League and most other clubs too and without exception everyone was genuinely interested in talking rugby and not berating each other.

OK there’s usually a bit of banter when you start chatting with… say a Wakey fan but once you’ve had a dig at each other the conversation flows amicably.

This is also one of the reasons why we stand on the Western Terrace, good banter and chatting with the away fans. Occasionally you get the odd knob but in general most folk are genuine rugby fans and happy to chat with you.
