Strugglign to think of an exciting game to be honest. Bradford at home was exciting due to us getting battered, then hitting the straps and showing the world were the best, then falling off the horse again and pushing on to lose the game. Leeds away in teh CC was a cracker, nervous time and a game of games. Castleford was a game where we cut free and everythign we touched turned to gold. Of late I cant recall anything of WOW, its been dross RL, boring as hell, and I mean real real real boring as hell stuff.

So far its been a bore of a season, yes were top by 2 points and in teh semi final, but we bored our way to those positions...zzzzzzzzzzzz

Sign up some speed, feck me we need an Uncle Albert or a Tony Sullivan or a Alan Hunte or a Paul Newlove...we need pace to burn and excite us again.

Could it be that as midpoint has past, the little knocks are being felt that little bit more creating a safety first approach? Surely it is better to play a little conservatively, than full throttle and risk even more injuries?

Most boring season i can remember.

I dont look forward to Friday nights like i use, in fact ive missed more games than i have attended this year. Waste of 2 season tickets.

Only game i was looking forward to before the playoffs was the Wigan game, and i cant go to that as i will be in the airport

AsI said on the other thread , where are the crafty half backs / hookers who could unlock a defence with a superb pass?

We're producing Highams, Robys, McIlorums, Moores, Lees, etc who are basically failed halfbacks.

Where are the Andy Gregs, Edwards, Dermotts, Schofields, Jacksons etc who could open up defences with a superb pass.

We've become obsessed with speed of the play the ball over skill.

It is the speed of the play the ball. You don't need a creative passing half back to win games. You need good go forward, and then it doesn't take much to get through a back pedalling broken defence.

Saints used to always struggle when the opposition slowed the game right down. It takes a different level of skill and game plan to break a team down that way.

It is one of the reasons we suffer internationally in the past, when the interpretation has been more NRL than Super League.

Probably a more exciting prospect pal, play the bandits or browse the duty free shops

Even the shyt they put on SLY TV is boring, hardly seen a decent bit of RL all year, maybe I am just an auld moaning git

The guy is bang on to say the games have been boring and the opposition are boring. What he fails to say is the reason that our games are boring is not solely because the opposition are boring, it's because we are bloody boring to watch full stop, as is the modern day game of Rugby League.

Boring. Defences are better, players are bigger and slower, and we are top again - finding it hard to stay interested to be honest. I ask myself the question when I am I going to feel like I did when we beat Wigan 41-26 in 1996 again, and I can't see it being any time soon!
