But I also believe our boys can beat any one that is put in front of them and I also believe that this is our year!!!

They were playing fantastic Rugby last year though tbf whats his face had gone AWOL by the time the wheels came off.

There is no getting away from it, on their own pitch they are massive favourites and should win. The only way they won't is if they have a truly off day or we play to our absolute best in which case we can match them. Both would be ideal but thats asking a lot.

We really do need a 'handbags' emoji on this forum, especially for Saints and Leeds fans.

Nobody is denying that Saints have been the best 'rugby' teams over the last two years, just shading Cas, though paradoxically neither has had success. What also can't be denied is that one team, Trinity, has so far stubbornly refused to be whipped by Saints. I don't wish to tempt fate as that could change in the very near future but all the same we have run you close in most games I can recall in recent times. Even won a few.

Why that is I don't know but we used to do the same with Wigan in their 90's pomp I'm told, very rarely did they win big against us and again we also won a few.

The game earlier this season was one such game, one you could easily have lost regardless of how many more tries you scored. Your coach knew it and stated so and that will do for me.

I think it kind of does matter, the object of the game is to score as many points in either tries and goals , if we had scored all our points by drop goals and still won the game by one point would you still be bleating on, if you haven't got a decent kicker I suggest you get one sorted as it nearly cost you two points last time

I’ve seen enough tonight to see we’ve a chance if we go there and take it to them like Salford just have done...

Salford lost that with either poor leadership on field or poor coaching on the sidelines, whoever’s come up with some of their plays when comfortable in the lead is mind boggling

Quality game of rugby by both sides tonight ,Salford very unlucky to not come away with the win tonight as thought saints last try on video was a knock on. Saints were second best for large parts of the game and seemed vulnerable when Salford got in their faces ,sure CC will have been watching with interest.

Farcical end to the game tonight. Even Holbrook looked embarrassed with his luck.

Re: Challenge Cup QF v Saints : Fri May 17, 2019 11:07 pm  

As a neutral the game was definitely exciting, but a few of Salford's calls once they went up weren't the best to say the least and they also didn't play like they were in front with a 2 score lead either. That short kick off was not playing the clock down at all and was just not what was needed at that time and the Griffin flop was also really costly, with tries coming off the back of those 2 errors. They were in control of that game but let Saints get a sniff and were on the back foot after that when they didn't have to be. If I was a Salford fan I'd feel robbed though after that VR ref call, for all love and money he looked to have spotted that the ball had come loose under the Saints player before he got over the line.
