    Default Interesting Pie chat...

    They have a 2 page discussion on Saints in their rl fans forum..players, coaches, club ethics etc. Still some bitter morons...but an interesting read.

    I mean I liked “Saints players don’t get poach by the NRL because they don’t have a GF ring like Sutton does so NRL scouts aren’t interested” (ignoring the international recognition players like Thompson and Makinson have garnered!)

    They do to be fair and there's some very fair comments on there but a thread 'why do Saints look unbeatable' makes me feel uneasy as we know from bitter experience last season. These type of threads always get brought back up when a team fails so don't fall for for it too much.

    What have we won since the CC in 2008? (I don't count the LLS)? 1 title.

    Nothing is won yet & we will get a tougher game in the semi than most people think. Halifax will not die wondering that's for sure.

    Expect a very very tough first half hour

    Cmon Ralph, tougher game than people think? After last years debacle against Catalan there won't be an ounce of complacency from the team & realistically we would need three players sent off to make it competitive.

    They can make it as hard as they like, the game should be over by half time and if we play anywhere near our best it will be. 1st in Super League vs 8th in the Championship, we should be putting 60+ on them.

    Maybe. I expect us to win as well but we are in no place to be shouting the odds considering our appalling recent history semi final record

    I see your point but we won't put 60 on them. I think it will be 40 at the most

    Not sure how old you are but I remember sat on the coach for over a hour trying to get off Wembley car park after losing to Halifax & that wasn't a good experience. The taunting from Halifax fans made it worse but after Elia 'going over for the winning try' we was wondering why we weren't taking the conversation for a good five minutes, which didn't help.

    I am really confused and I have tried to Google this with no success so some assistance would be appreciated. Does anybody know why we seem to be playing wigan three times this season? We played in Jan, April and are scheduled to play in July

    Im not arsed what they are doing just as it baffles me when they care what we’re up to. Its nice to win derby games but it doesn’t win a trophy. Let Wigan fans get hung up on what we are doing. Lets just crack on and win trophies.

    Your living in lala land if you think Halifax will get anywhere near Saints. That semi will be a record score.

    Exactly- no doubt Scott Murrell’s blistering pace At half back may harm us. Lol.

    Yes sorry I've been ambiguous in what I've posted. When I said '1 title that's what I meant

    32. I was a few months old for the 1987 final. I have seen the highlights of that game. Must have been horrible that one.

    I would like to see a Morgan Knowles Crash Tackle Special on Murrell to see if he will survive.

    It certainly was! Mark Elia TWICE was unbelievable (aside from this he was a very good centre). My fist Wembley trip - it took me FOUR goes to see them win!

    Same for me Halifax, Wigan x2 and I also saw GB lose to Aus in the '92 World Cup Final.
    The Halifax defeat for some reason remains perhaps the most painful final I've seen us lose. Though I was only a boy, I recall the build up leading up to that final in the Star as St Helens Town were also in the FA Vase final at Wembley as well. It was proof sport can be cyclical as at the time Saints had a reputation for being 'bridesmaids' then shed that when they basically became the big game team under Joynt to return to that unenvious record of final (or semi-final) defeats years later.
