    Why the hell would you keep a record of our attendances? Or brag about knowing how to use a spreadsheet for that matter?

    He has probably kept those records for years just waiting for the opportunity to use them. Old spreadsheets new carpets - what a life.

    He's come out with some shite on here in the past but that's pretty special even for him.

    Probably started in 2006 when all they went on about was how good their attendance was after we cleaned up the silver

    I said I'd leave him alone as I hate bullies and he's an old bloke but he does himself no favours. Christ on a bike he's some troll, I'll give him that and this has amused me.

    Dave. This reaction to this guy isn't bullying. The mans strap line was and still is maybe Saints the perennial cheats. This man has given our club dogs abuse on other forums. He then comes on here with his snake selling trying to make out he is a nice old man and some buy into it, I can't and won't.

    So I believe, but he's an old man and I'm not, I'm also a lot smarter than him and have a very cutting way when I want. I've given his club dogs abuse and it's fans over 30 years, so what? It's part of one of the few things RL is renowned for, our derby. I don't want them to stop hating us because it then dies, and will I never stop hating them. I don't buy into any of his shite and I can't understand why he comes on here but if he's that sad and lonely then I kind of get it. If not, he's thicker than the whale omelette I already think he is.

    I must admit I did chuckle as well. I get bollocked of the missus for keeping my old Saints programmes, I think she'd have a heart attack if I started compiling Saints and Wigan attendances into an Excel spreadsheet: "Sorry love, we can't go out tonight.... I've got the 1996 season to load up and the 1992 has gone and corrupted itself again." Perhaps the old man should use an Access database and go more cutting edge? You just can't be too careful these days. The Chinese could be hacking into his xls as we speak; there could be key info in there.

    Wonder if he keeps one for Tesco shoppers at Wigan?

    I’d think a pivot table would be better

    Or perhaps a Powerpoint presentation; with lots of 'pie'charts!

    What's happened to Hull? I expected them to beat this shower at the weekend.

    FC fans got giddy after beating Leeds but now the knives are out for Radford(again).
    Swift scored a good try yesterday but messed up for one of Wigan's

    I generally adopt a ‘believe it when I see it’ approach to Hull every season when they’re hyped up in the early weeks. All we see year after year is that they bring loads of new signings in, they start okay but then find their level and fail to impress. Radford would been booted out of every other big club by now I reckon. They are a Top 3/4 team on paper, but I’m not convinced they even make the 5.

    Strange team are Hull. Last season was bizarre, win by 50 one week, get hammered by 60 the next.

    Looks like they will be up and down again this season. I agree that Radford would have been binned by most clubs but the injury excuse over the last 12 months has probably saved him. If he can't get a consistent tune out of this lot over the next couple of months, i reckon he will be the first coach to get the sack this season.

    Radford seems bulletproof. Hull are generally big under achievers and the CC cup win and the chairman’s loyalty to Radford will keep them so. Similar style of coach to KC.

    If it was football he would be long gone. Every year I think his job his on the line. He has been allowed sign an innumerable numbers of players since he came in, without producing the goods.
    It will be a pity if he goes because in post match interviews i think he is the most honest of all of them.

    I like Radford and don't mind Hull to be honest, they remind me of us. I think what would do him the world of good is to take a step back and surround himself with leaders instead of yes men. He's made some really good signings and some really bad ones but his team lack mental strength and direction when it gets tough.

    Hull are the RL equivalent of Newcastle in football. They're hyped to the rafters as having great support and being "sleeping giants", yet when the chips are down, they carry on sleeping and dreaming. They've invested heavily this season and if the results go the same way as last season, with little or no continuity, I can see Radford getting the chop.

    They're more like Everton

    (although I suppose Hull do win the odd cup, so not totally alike)

    They should be doing much better with that squad as you say. Bringing Mahe Fonua back who was brilliant for them last time around and having the luxury of leaving Albert Kelly out for round 1, whom for mine is one of the most exciting players in the competition.

    As for Wigan, it's looking like a masterstroke in putting Bevan French in at full back. Ball in-hand he's really dangerous and seems to have a pass in him as well. Could get close to Barba's stats from 2018 if carries on at this rate.

    Regards,
