Ok ok we give in you can be Grand Final, CC Cup and LLS winners this season if it will shut your bleating.


No. You can have them all. They're devalued and we don't want to win them now out of protest. You can have all three.

The RFL pull another charge for a St Helens player out of the hat. Lees charged with being too good for Huddersfield and continues a 9,124 week consecutive run of charges for Saints players. Ikahihifo who committed an identical tackle isn't even mentioned and Ashworth who nearly killed Lomax off the ball gets off too, when it would have been a 2 game ban for any of Saints backrowers. Targeted.

Wow, what a massive baby. I bet this is not how the club and players feel. There have been a few (correct) decisions made against your players and now you don't want to compete at all? Do you only like a playing field heavily weighted in your favour? Maybe you should lobby the club to leave superleague and join the amateur leagues so you can win every year.

Saints are literally in a golden spell, do you really need reminding that you have won it 4 times in a row and recently became world club champions. You are well and truly in the hunt for everything and it's all still to play for, you're still the favourites to win it all IMO. I often like your postings but you need to get a grip and stop behaving like a spoilt brat.

I see Paul Wellens has been baited out by the media vultures into shutting down the 'cheating' claims made by Sky's Wigan fan Phil Clarke.

https://www.totalrl.com/st-helens-boss-paul-wellens-reacts-to-phil-clarkes-explosive-cheating-comments/

Further evidence of the not-very-well-hidden campaign against Saints by the RFL.

“When you talk about the ruck area with OPTA statistics, in 2021 we had the average slowest play the ball in the competition.

“In 2022, we had the slowest play the ball in the competition and we currently sit joint last. I would ask Phil who is lying on who? With the devastating ball carriers we have, we haven’t come out on top in play the ball speed.”

So the team who has won four trophies in a row has the slowest play the ball speed because the entire league is cheating, not just us. Yet Clarke is allowed to go on Sky and call Saints cheats. Yet Wilkin had to release a press statement and make a grovelling public apology on air because he admitted he didn't know who Wakefield's new coach was. :SUBMISSION: It's probably also worth someone at the RFL checking if those play the ball speeds are quicker with 6 agains or slower than they were.

Some startling statistics quoted by Wellens there. With the likes of Walmsley, Sironen, Mata'utia, Paasi and Lees demolishing packs all over the place, for Saints to have been allowed the slowest play the balls is frankly ridiculous and even the staunchest anti-Saints fans on here should be able to admit it's wrong. If the RFL would publish the 6 again and penalty stats, I bet we're somehow on the losing end of those too. To face this level of adverse treatment and still be four times champions is something special.

Sky and Phil Clarke need to apologise on Thursday's coverage. His attempts to influence the referees ahead of the derby are a disgrace.
