So we don't show Dean at half back in the remaining session

Exactly. Makes me laugh how much saints are building us up, we have lost the last 5 games in appalling fashion. They're building us up to make their win bigger or their loss a bit more palatable. They're massive favourites, if we win it will be a huge upset, we have good players on paper but we have an abysmal playing style that makes good players look like amateurs. I don't give us a prayer, it's saints to lose and they know it!

The Saints fans are right, look at both semi finals last year. Saints were massive favourites then but Catalans and Warrington won, its a one off game that is 60/40 in Saints favour at the most. If anything, what you accuse Saints fans of doing Wire fans are doing far more. Making Saints out to be huge favourites so that if you lose you’ll pretend to not be bothered because you expected to lose (even though you’ll be gutted really) but if you win you’ll all be calling it the greatest shock of all time and how Saints are bottlers.

If this is to keep up the ‘will he, won’t he?’ bluff, then it’s embarrassing. Blake already mentioned on social media that he isn’t playing. One of the mouth-breathers on redvee saying it makes us look small time, and for once I agree.

Though if he was to play, I would love it just because that lot will explode with incredulity and go all indignant, “it’s a mockery of the rules... he even said he wasn’t playing”, etc.

But it all looks a little desperate from here, whatever the motive.

Edit: redvee bemoaning the ban, one guy saying he’s “desperate to put them (us) back in their box”.

... I hope we shock a few people (I know we won’t!) just for that comment alone. Horrible arrogant bunch, the lot of them.

Embarrassing?
Give your head a wobbly. It's fantastic media.
Keep me guessing.
Radlinski and Connolly both played on their days and had wow games off the operation recovery bed that morning.

Have you been watching us recently? We wouldn't beat widnes tomorrow playing the way we have been, never mind saints. I won't be bothered, I genuinely don't think we have a hope in hell. They've beaten us easily 3 times this season and we are playing with worse than we were for the first 2. It would take a massive step forward from us to have a genuine chance. It's not beyond us, but it's not likely. Revisit this tomorrow and see what you think. We have nothing to lose, it's saints trophy unless they blow it.

No they didn't. In the last game there was nothing in it until Coops got 10 min

Re: Media banned : Fri Aug 23, 2019 9:34 pm  

maybe the club dont want them to see the big secret about currie playing 6 and us trying to gain an advantage in the forwards with an extra man.

because that has been on this forum all week.

so it deffo cant be for that.... obviously.

I've heard detailed plans have been drawn up to pass to a winger.

Makes a difference from constantly kicking to a centre.

That along with the cunning plan on letting the forwards get us off our line in the first 10/15min.

Reality is they didn't want the team to be seemingly dancing around a rugby ball chanting and waving like loonies

I don't think we're massive underdogs like Sheffield Wigan but it will be a huge suprise if we are lifting the trophy tomorrow.

A lot would have to go our way. We've players that have been in tjis situation before saints not so much recently, that's our main advantage the longer we stay in it the more it will play on their minds. We must make any error pay with points a repeat set or at least good territory and pinning them in their 20 for a few tackles.

If our team plays well tomorrow and we can maintain the intensity needed for the 80 I can see how we could win but that's a lot of ifs and buts. I hope we can come out on tops I'm jot sure if the winning the trophy or the meltdown on redvee lol
