Re: Saints announce increased losses for financial year 2023

The other point and i know this is a non starter but the removal of fighting and the removal of the physical aspect of the game also doesnt help the cause, people dont like sports where the ref's have too much of a say I dunno about that. In rugby union, the ref blows his whistle every 10-15 second...

Re: Squads for Friday

Be prepared for the Leeds tactic of their forwards moving yards offside when they tactically kick; giving the receiver 10 metres and then pinning us near to our line. It's legal but typically cynical from Leeds under their coach. Also, expect Bentley to target Smith (and everyone else) but mostly S...

Re: Top 6

Don't we have to win the last two games to secure top spot as KR have a better points difference than us, so we cant afford a slip up, unless KR lose one on the way to be guaranteed top spot then yes we need to win both, however, i have a hunch that Leigh may beat KR this weekend, so KR will then n...

Re: New players.

from a squad perspective we are in a very good position with some key players on longer term contracts which allows for stability and for us to tweak the team as opposed to some quite major changes over recent years With Field, French, Smith, Miski, Wardle, Marshall, Thompson, Leeming, O'Neill, Nsem...

Re: Wigan squad for Catalans (R24)

Just a nod to Leeming, i think he has really stepped up in Brads absence. I still think Brad is a ahead of him on what he offers but i think for what you would class more as an impact hooker he's put in some really solid performances IMO i think he's a bit more creative than Brad, especially within...

Re: Zak Fulton

To take Isa's overseas quota spot maybe? With the new regulations coming in wouldn't surprise me if ISA and maybe French will be off quota next season. If it's a toss up on ISA and retaining Eckersley and bringing in this lad then I would go for the latter. ISA is well regarded though for what he b...

Grand Final Trains - not running (or will be very limited)

i know this is a bit early (and i'm not pre-empting that Wigan are there), but there is only a rail replacement between Wigan / Bolton and Manchester on 12th October, so anyone planning on going anyway may need to look at alternative transport it does look like there may be a train direct (assuming ...
