I was going to say the same thing. Almost like for like. The best thing was "coach of the year Kieran Cunningham" - Radford, Powell, Chester would be in before him.

They boo'd him when he came on the screen at the end of he first half against Wire at their ground.

Hmm
You obviously have knowledge that others don't.
If Saints don't win another game then will they make the top four?
Don't know if you're a Saints follower but if you are, were you one of those baying for Cunninghams blood at the beginning of the season?
Saints are starting to click but it hasn't all fitted yet. That's why I am a realist. Perhaps my years of following the game and how teams develop is far inferior, who knows but I see a good team coming together and a better team when everyone is up to speed. It isn't this year.
Sadly I can't look at things though home and away different coloured glasses and be totally biased. I just call it as I see it. If you have a problem with that, then tough, it's your problem, deal with it however you choose


At the moment Cas or Catalan could pip St Helens for 4th spot but looking at the remaining fixtures for each team it's unlikely.

Saints will most probably finish 4th or maybe even 3rd either way that will give them an away semi to either Hull or Wire. That will most likely be the end of their run but who knows injuries can hit any team so anything can happen.

Just seen one of the judges is ill so they are postponing it until Wednesday, as opposed to finding a replacement ASAP.m

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

All tackles lead with the shoulder!!!!

Never seen a player running to tackle booty first.
The arms out in front is a favourite with zombies, but generally most humans tend to stick with hit the front with the shoulder and then wrap the arms around.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Exactly, its very rare to see a tackle executed with one or two arms out, the problem was the clash of heads on impact then the ankle injury. Thompson didn't run in with much momentum to define it as a shoulder charge.

No but they're in a very impressionable position. They speak on live TV on one of the countries biggest sports channels turning over multi millions of pounds each year. They have a huge audience which includes those who chair & sit on the disciplinary panel.
If you realistically use this platform to have a 5 minute chat about one tackle at the end of the game and speak directly at the camera at half time making a passionate plea to 'rid this type of incident from our game' then your making an impassioned plea to the appropriate body (RFL disciplinary) to act as such.
When you view incidents such as Wllie ISA's spear tackle this season which leaves with a warning only, you see clear flaws in the system. If you have a sky overreaction to that tackle during the game, I'd say you get a different outcome
