How utterly embarrassing. In the space of 3 months we've gone from talking about a top 3 finish and a cup run to moaning about London playing a weakened Saints team and this just after we've been hammered by a weakened Wigan team. Our problems and destiny lay within not with other teams.

Yet Saints still managed to concede less points on both occasions that a full strength Wakey side.

So what? We've beaten Huddersfield 3 times. Doesn't mean we have a right to finish above them.

We absolutely have our destiny in our own hands.
However, IF we are safe before the London game and WE field a "reserve" squad, allowing London 2 points and SL security, meaning that Leeds or KR go down, there would be brown stuff hitting the fan at a rate of knots.
There should be some integrity in the game and Saints' actions are not within the spirit of the game, not by a long chalk.
I get Sacred Cows point that they can do as they please and treat this game as an opportunity to test their youngsters but, equally, it cant be right for ANY side to effectively "throw" a game.
Mind you, in recent weeks, we have made it just as easy for the opposition to get the 2 league points

Spot on

Touchè.
Just stop looking to blame other clubs for our inability to do our job?

I'm clearly in a minority here. Buts what's this 9 missing. Name me 8 first choice players in that 17 saints put out today. I'm sorry but they only had 4/5 . At the risk of repeating myself they handed London 2 points today. If they do the same against us in a couple of weeks and all the other teams in the relegation battle then fair enough. But they won't. It stinks

Coote, Makinson, Percival, Naiqama, Fages, Lomax, Walmsley, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Peyroux. Paulo was out of position too. Only Grace, LMS, Lees, Knowles, Amor and Paulo are first teamers today

I’m sure they could argue that playing Saints 3 times stinks in the first place
