The quality of they 7 missing are far superior to ours! Good 2 points, just hope we can back it up Friday, back to square one if not. Well done to all the fans who travelled today, hats of to you

Well, they have a better squad than us. The point is that the relative dilution of quality was broadly similar. We were missing our captain, scrum half, first choice starting prop, best centre and at least two others who'd have been selected. They were clearly short in the halves and FB but they had a pack with LMS, Roby, Walmsley, Amor, Masoe etc.

Everyone has the right to comment but not with insults as a few do. Also if people want to sing a song to their coach indicating his imminent departure that's fine but don't throw your arms up in synthetic outrage if he calls you out for it.

I dont think anyone is doing that, BUT as a pro sport coach he is responsible unltimately for the results and his record is awful thats what were saying
and as the coach he should open his ears and keep mouth shut when it comes to supporters, being a head coach is not a platform to dig at the fans!! smacks of inexperience all over that..I am sure someone will mention it to him too... its all a learning curve
However fans especially those long termers are not signing songs but like the Dentist we are simply questioning the validity of his tenure as head coach based upon two things
experience
results
both have been very questionable...

we are all basking tonight so lets enjoy it for a week

I've no problem enjoying it at all - we've rarely won at St Helens in my 40 odd years of affiliation.
Say what you like - I can't believe how sensitive some of you are when you get a bit back. Quite surprising.

Why don't people listening to the link for Radfords interview ... He never said all those who didn't travel are the fickle fans but he did praise them for there support today and was asked to also mention the fans by Danny Houghton

No not sensitive at all just saying LR should not do that , thats not his job ....
you dont win friends and support by digging at them however veiled it may be

but as you say any win at saints is a good win, regardless of their own issues squad wise, lets not forget their forwards are as good as any in SL too

Yes . Pmarrow did



A wins a win and no matter how they come I will take it at the moment. However Mr Radford you may not today be bothered about the fans that haven't turned up today or tomorrow but remember last time you got cocky on Radio we lost the next four games. A few points for you to intake
