As a sales pitch, "the club is losing money, crowds are down, good players have left for Aus" is not the way to sell more season tickets and increase gates. It might appeal to those already committed, but the majority of the population want to do what's fashionable/popular. An invitation t...

I think 10,800 v Catalans on a Thursday is about par.

It's 100 more than the Hull KR game last month & that was on a Friday.

Didn't he used to play for us?

I checked this morning's paper and it says we won

What McManus's comments (and Holbrook's to a lesser extent) say to me is that Saints are likely to nosedive at some point in the play-offs. I truly believe that the John Monie approach is essential to a winning mentality/culture within a club. Monie would have said "The referee didn't knock on,...
