Don’t try and debate with AS, it really is pointless.

That was the second clip in our video that we put out at the weekend.


it's not a great response, its all one sided.

Yes, but the message is we are looking down on Warrington in every sense of the word where as Warrington need a plane to do that.

Walmsley and Thompson walk into most NRL sides

Thompson wouldn't walk into most Super League sides let alone NRL sides. He's a good hard running prop but he's prone to errors and has minimal handling skills. He's one of those who knocks a few over makes a few yards and you love him if he plays for you. If he doesn't play for you you're not overly fussed!

It's pointless any fans saying 'so and so would storm it in the nrl'. Until they actually go and do it, its irrelevant. Cooper is one of the few props in super league who has proven himself over there.

Thompson is playing above himself. A backrower stepped up hence his errors with the ball in collision at times. He'll end up busted, and retiring early. I've seen it at Wire over the decades. He's doing great but he's a cricket score off Warmsley and if AS can't see that, he's blinkered with scouse mist.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's just wrong. He's a superb young prop, arguably the form GB prop this year. He should get in the GB squad ahead of some of the established names.

Reading this thread makes a mockery of the league table doesn't it? We've apparently only got two decent players, Roby and Walmsley. The rest are inferior to Warrington's equivalent. Our front row is weaker, with or without Roby, our halves combined can't get near Austin. And I know none of you rate Coote. Which must mean either our centres or wingers are absolute monsters for us to be 6 points clear of you?

FWIW I think you'll win this game. We've not been playing particularly well and have been rotating 4 or more every week for a while now, so we've no real momentum or form going into the game. You also need to win more than us to stay ahead of the chasing pack, it really doesn't matter too much if we win or not, we'll still have a two game buffer. It doesn't feel at all like a big game if I'm honest.

I rate Coote, think he's a great player and a great signing. You're a better team with Coote in it than Barba. He is still a massive threat in attack, great support runner as a fullback and sound in defence. Great fullback for me. You will win on Friday I'm sure, we are a bit too laboured in attack I feel. We definitely have it in us to beat you but it will be a tight game so hill will be moaning instead of doing his job, we will come up with lots of errors with a low completion rate and you lot will just have to get the basics right to beat us.

Still hope we can beat you though, comfortably would be nice just to raise that but if self doubt in the saints camp ready for the business end.

You're right, it does make a mockery.

1st Vs 2nd and you're dismissing it as another run of the mill game. That right there is the stereotypical Sin'tellins fan arrogance we've all come to know. As we say in the trade: "All the gear and no idea." That's a saints fan pretty much summed up.
