St. Helens played some great rugby and scored some pretty amazing tries in the game as did Bradford - the least you could of done was applaud your team for a cracking match! Just another sign that saints supporters are glory hunters

They were booing the fact the game ended early, there was 14 minutes extra time easily, the ref blew up 14 mins to early for us. Boooooooo.....

That wasn't booing anyway.

The 4 Bulls speccies who bothered to turn up brought a herd of mates for their mascot to roger at half time.

However, expecting the worst, the mascot gave this game a wide birth to save money for the trip to Murrayfield, thus leaving a stand full of randy cows mooing a lot.

I, for one, thought it was quite obvious when i got round to watching the reply on TV.

Funny this because what i heard and saw was the crowd (mostly the main stand) booing Mr Silverwood and the booing stopped the moment he disappeared from site into the tunnel.

True that - I booed Silverwood and his 'team' but I clapped both sets of players. I wasnt too happy with the performance but booing wont help and they always give 100% even if it goes wrong. The irony of a Wigan fan posting on here about booing is amazing , I've been to a few Wigan home games this season in the 'home' end and the abuse and booing dished out to the home team borders moronic

Got no complaints about the team, its just the so-called 'fans'
I like watching Saints play because I appreciate good rugby wherever it comes from. And the team themselves seem a bunch of really nice guys on the whole. (Long & Pryce excluded obviously)
But the silence at KR was deafening on Friday. (until the booing started!)
It proves that most of the 'fans' werent there to cheer your team on but turned up just for the winning!

Mr Mcmannus has bought you a fantastic team there but they need encouragement from time to time just like any other. Why dont you understand that.

Same reason the silent majority of Wigan fans didn't in the early 90s.

Success breeds greed. I've seen it happen at Old Trafford, as a three year old, my memories of Old Trafford being a wall of noise were similar to those at Saints. And ten years later, it repeated itself to Saints.

It's one of those parodies, that fans need a spell to regain their hunger.

The problem is, the success we have had has attracted a similar speccie to those who now bleat about Wigan being a poor side, and the players having no passion. They want success, and they want it now. If they can't have it, it isn't good enough.

If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor, about sums all this up.

this is true for the most part, apart from "oh when the saints" your repertoire is pretty thin.

Sgtwilko and stringerwolves two of the worst trolls in recent memory. Rlfans is pretty poor these days we need AP back on these boards.
