Hi
This is for anyone who wants to talk about what happened at old trafford
Turned up, outplayed, got beat.
What happened ?
Err we were a load of pump !
outplayed on the night and the better team won, the lads looked tired its been a long, hard 2 seasons and it showed.
DA played cayless,bennett and fassavalu unfortunately.
We need to stop making excuses----excuses are for loosers who try to justify why they are not good enough!!!!Originally Posted by stpac
excuses the better team won is not an excuseOriginally Posted by OVAL AND OWT
I agree, but to say the lads look tired is pathetic. If you wish to scale new heights, win every trophy you need mental toughness.Tiredness is no excuse...just an easy kop out. I some times feel tired, but I do go to work.
Answer this ... since when is 3 trophies in a season not good enough ?, you can tell Saints had been tiring for weeks leading up to the playoffs.Originally Posted by OVAL AND OWT
FFS People. Lets get our perspective right.
This is sport. One team has to win, one team has to lose. Last night the Final was won quite rightly by the better team on the night. End of.
Yes, it hurts to lose. I've been there. I saw the 27-0 Cup Final defeat which was a performance far far worse than last night's. But someone has to lose. No one team has a divine right to win, in Rugby League or in any other sport.
And we have won three trophies this season - six on the trot. The end of that run was bound to come to an end at some stage.
Now we have to look forward to next season. OK, so the nucleus of the team may be aging, but we already have the established youngsters of Roby and Graham, and there's Clough, Eastmond, Smith, Tyrer, Hargreaves etc to add to the mix.
So what you are saying is that if you win all before you feeling tired is excuseable going into the biggest game of the year?. We are talking about the pinnacle of a player's career. We had two weeks off, Leeds had one. Surely, we should be looking at the coaching systems if the players are looking tired for the biggest game of their careers.Originally Posted by AnonymousSaint
Perhaps that two weeks off was the trouble we were not mentally fired up for itOriginally Posted by OVAL AND OWT
I worried that, and the fact that, lets be honest they were playing quite poorly running up to the final.Originally Posted by oldun
I was worried at 4pm when i drove past the team bus on the M62, strange preperation for the biggest match of the season.

i honestly said at the beginning of the week that if longy plays we will get beat - and looked what happened
im not blaming longy for the defeat (far from it) but was he actually 100% fit??
DA played him for the "big name" instead of matty smith and the plan backfired big time.
also dropping cloughy??? im not saying that these 2 would have won us the game, but who knows?
there was just no get up and go last night, and it was so disapointing for them to play so bad in the biggest game of the year
Yes, two police bike escort, you could see Maurie and DA sat near the front of the bus....That aint rite preperation in my bookOriginally Posted by AnonymousSaint

Perhaps they should have come by helicopter
Don't think Fas likes coaches, he shot off the bus as soon as the doors opened.
Saint until I die - For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad.

Oh the guilt of being at fault for Saints losing will forever live with me

I dont even know why i still read your posts but you really are a complete t@sser, do you even like a saints player?Originally Posted by dufc4
I'm not writing anything in here because its just a load of b*****ks
Was'nt it james roby that started that piece of brilliance and matty smith in time will be in a class of his own with game play, better to play an inform player (matty smith) rather than 80% fit sean long!Originally Posted by dufc4
