As if you barstewards winning wasn't bad enough, you scuppered my handicap treble n all!
Fair play on the result tonight, a lot of teams would've rolled over at half time.

Think Shaul and Naughton, justified there place, both made mistakes, but have great enthusiasm and pace which we need.

Another win at Langtree Park, we really do seem to have the sign over the champions there.

Delighted for the players given our disadvantage on interchanges, some great team spirit and response to the half time team talk.

Very frustrating opening quarter, summed up the season with chances bombed and umpteen forward passes. Some good expansive and more innovative play too, certainly not one out. Nice unexpected win.

There are definitely people on here who, while not necessarily wanting us to lose, do enjoy the added opportunity to have a pop. And at least one who just the other day openly admitted that he hoped Radford did poorly.

It's easy to spot them as they're all over this board when we lose and largely absent when we win.

I did say I wanted him to do poorly next season on the back of yet more bollox he comes out with when we lose, yet the same old crap play, same old mistakes.
In hindsight I was wrong, he fails, the club fail, as much as I can't stand the bloke and think he's robbing the club of being better than they are I do want us to win.
I had already offered my congratulations right at the game ending and have never held back in doing so when it was deserved, I also do not enjoy any opportunity to have a pop, it's just that we've being so poor the last two seasons having a pop rather than accepting mediocrity as many have done is bourne out of frustration and anger.

We did fantastically well in that second half, I hope we can go through the rest of the 8s with as much passion, endeavour, positivity and execution.

Glad you beat them, can't stand the arragant to$$ers. From the top to the bottom. How they maintain to call themselves the entertainers. I don't know.

Radford obviously said to the team the pressure is off go out and play rugby and move the ball wide.Had it not been for the errors in the first half it could have worked well.
Although St Helens contributed to their own downfall, in the second half we tidied ourselves up and the desire by a patched up team made me feel proud.
Several outstanding individual performances tonight and Radford handled what interchanges he had available to him very well considering he was using two of the under 19s.
More of the same expansive stuff next week against Leeds for me even if we do make some errors.

Your fans lost all respect when you started having a go at Adam Quinlan. No need.

Re: Saints v Hull FC Match Thread : Sat Aug 15, 2015 5:15 am  

Isn't it commendable when some on here have to bull themselves up for actually congratulating our team when we pull off a very good and unexpected result.
As for Radford talking bollox, well, we all have our own opinion.
Comes across as pretty honest for mine.
Never gets too carried away after we have pulled off a cracking result, or been beat in games we possibly should have won.
Articulation will never be his forte but if it carries on irritating some on here, all the better.
Well done everybody involved.
