Omg has someone dare to criticise Radford

Cheers mate. Without sounding big headed I believe we're far better than the rest of super league this year however the best sides don't always win the finals. As a saints fan I have nightmares thinking we won't win a big trophy this year.



Hull could easily turn us over in a big game. Good luck in your semi.

Yeh maybe , after 8 years of posting I though Karen kind of liked me really hahaha , to be nailed with a ban was hurtful. But ! I’ve seen the error of my ways , and decided I need to tow the line. I can’t live without you bunch of fuk wits hahaha xxxxx

Certainly got some.challenges keeping a top 5 spot. Could do with a win next week and Saints to beat Wigan to restore a 4 point cushion to 4th. Wonder what went on at Cas tonight? Leeds getting their act together it seems but still a bit surprised by the result.

Your side is up there with the 2005/6 vintage in terms of class and dominance. Can't see past you for the 2 big ones and the hubcap - too good.

I couldn't attend tonight how did James Bentley do for us ? Not so much his hooking performance because he ain't no hooker but his effort etc.. Good defence? I have high hopes for the lad. Thanks

Played ok, can tell he isnt a hooker though with some of the distribution but when you have forwards running onto the ball at pace all he has to do is pop it up to them

I didn’t see it

Was Manu as ineffective as he has been if late ?

I thought he was excellent. Bit of mongrel about him.

Dominance maybe ? Class no chance , the standard of opposition is no where near . A very good saints team , but let’s not go overboard

We were simply outclassed tonight.

Saints were quality. Speed , aggression and execution, desire .

What makes them so good? Certainly an ingredient we need to find !

He looks like the game has caught up with him. Struggle's with the pace of the game now, doesn't look in decent shape anymore for me.

Done consistently, the reason London have done so well with average players. Holbrook gets that consistently. We don’t . When we do, we can beat anyone

So a groin injury is not serious?

Saying that Connor is a liability when the team are getting well beaten

Radford interview after the game

one or two blokes just not learning



Well if thats the case why are they playing in the first team?

ref was appalling.saints are a decent side,but to be honest our home form is just not good enough.any other side would fancy their chances of finishing in the top 5 with last 9 fixtures including 6 at home.not us .

Cas without Gale are rudderless. Can see them missing out on the top 5.

I don't agree. In terms of dominance they are probably more dominant than the 05/06 team but in terms of class much less so. Thee biggest difference is in 05/06 there was FC, Bulls, Rhinos, Warriors to compete with. This year Wire are the closest and they are well behind.

So much quicker in everything they do compared to us, We don't even look like we're playing the same game. they're well drilled, fit, fast, strong and enthusiastic. Everything we're not TBH. Why don't our forwards run like theirs? Why doesn't our defensive line move up like theirs? Why is their first defensive contact so much better than ours? Why is their passing so much slicker and more accurate than ours? Why do they hunt in 3's and 4's in defense when we hunt in 1's and 2's?



For me it's all down to coaching. holbrook is a very good coach who has transformed that group of players from average to way above average and has everyone in the team playing well week in, week out.



If we get to wembley I can see us being completely embarrassed by them, possibly taking rovers record away from them.



You also have to question why weaker squads than ours seem to be able to handle saints much better than we do. As soon as we play a team who play the game with real tempo we just fall to pieces

I know. Talk is cheap and they just just shut the feck up in the week talking absolute shoite about what they're going to do in the match

It's not all doom and gloom. We're still well placed and fighting in both competitions.You've gotta be in it to win it, and we're still in it.



Saints were far too hot for us tonight, but the next game is a different day.

we lack aggression in the pack.saints wouldn't have been so keen on fancy dan rugby ,if we had clouted a few early on.you have to dominate a team in the forewards to gain the upper hand in big games.

completely agree about the front row but wouldn't be at all surprised to see the current 4 props all here next year. Need 2 big, aggressive props for me. 1 who provides impact and 1 who plays long minutes. Another 2nd row and a loose man needed also. Too much salary cap tied up in outside backs for me which will leave us a forward short

What the feck is up with Taylor this year? Shadow of the player he has been in the last 2 seasons
