If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
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.
Great win for saints, really pleased for Roby and wellens as they have played a few and lost a few. As for the opening post, yes saints can and will be beaten.
Sport is cyclical and as a saints fan we need to enjoy these ups as the downs last longer
I agree with you with regards the fatigue, jet lag and possible injuries but if Saints really want to win this game, they will need to be playing at their peak performance at this early stage of the 2023 season.
It will be then very difficult to play the rest of the season at that level and to peak again for the Super League play-offs.
Big challenge for the rest of Superleague to raise their standard now. Saints have come away from the game relatively injury free and the squad depth is as strong as ever. That warm weather training for a couple of weeks in OZ has made them well conditioned and superfit, I get the feeling Saints might not take much interest in challenging for the LLS and go for a Big Five achievement instead.
