Don’t agree with that. Miami heat, New England patriots and Georgia Tech are greater sporting entities. I’ve seen all 3 plus st Helen’s live and Georgia tech is easily the best game day experience

Poppycock. Sent Ellins is a small economically deprived town. No sporting entity in known history has achieved as much success in relation to their resources. They are undoubtedly the best in British rugby league history, by a distance of light years. But also, the world. A beacon of sporting perfection and excellence the likes of which will never be matched.

Saints playing the victim mentality is laughable. Try supporting an unsuccessful team and then you'll see the level of refereeing decisions you get against you. Our last 3 home games has been a perfect example of the state of officiating in the game. It's inept.

Top of the IMG agenda should be getting officials on board that are fit for purpose (and using technology at every game). The current bunch just aren't up to it.

You've lost 7 games in a row suppose that's all down to refs too?.

You need to look elsewhere for excuses, your last 3 games have been horrendous for missed tackles and your clean breaks stats are really poor. Brodie Croft seems to drift in and out of the game for long spells his game on Sunday was completely invisible and ineffective in the second half.

Discipline was also shocking should get a rename to Salford Headhunters.

Have you been at our last 3 home games? No I thought not.

When you lose 3 games by 2/3 points and the refs have made some shocking decisions in every game then you've every right to question their competency. We're fully aware we've missed tackles and given penalties away but there's no excuse for the officials making some pretty basic errors without much in the way of mitigation.

Selective eyesight from Stains fans as usual.

I've highlighted 3 games where woeful officiating has cost us 2 points.

The other 4 games games against Wakey, KR, Wigan & Cats we just weren't very good and were beaten by the better team.

Does that help?

Georgia tech get more fans for one game than Wakefield, Leigh and salford do combined for an entire season. That’s why their success in relation to their resources is second to none. They aren’t even a professional sports club. They are just a university

Yes but its not rocket science to know that all those missed tackles and penalties means you have less control of the game and you put yourselves under pressure.

Most teams complain when they lose by a couple of points but it is how you are respond in the next game, Salford don't seem to be able to do that having lost 7 games on the trot, Rowley is using the verbal assault on the officials as a DEFLECTION for his incompetence to execute the problems that are under his control.

His outburst has a frivolous look about it and I,m pretty sure the RL will see it that way, he will probably be told to wind his neck in and be on a suspended fine.

Not even a fair or close comparison given that in the entire of America there are only 32 professional teams and huge distances between them so collage football is as popular as NFL and generates huge amounts of money that dwarfs rugby league.

trying to say st helens success is that great get over yourself small club small sport and should not be mentioned in the same breath as any NFL or university team

typical bs from your regular bs spouter

Rowley the Rant would moan that the final whistle should have gone after 40 mins of play. Most of the time "You Never Write Off the SAINTS" even with 7 out of 17 first teamers missing.
