Wakey by 10. 

[Fri 4th Jul: SL: Leigh Leopards v Wigan Warriors KO 20:00 (Sky)]

I am really looking forward to this, Leigh play such entertaining RL but i think wigan will edge it by 4. It’ll be a good night for high up & under’s with the gale force wind blowing. 

[Sun 29th Jun: SL: St Helens v Salford Red Devils KO 15:00 (SS+/SL+)]

The worst thing to do at a terrible match (bar attending it) is looking at the clock even though you keep telling yourself not to look at the clock. It is the first time ever i have sat down in the West Stand because the crowd was so sparse. 

[Danny McGuire]

Officials have always been the same for me, i remember when i first started going regularly it was and still is “he has always hated us”

”he never gives us anything”, “he came on the coach with opposition”, “i saw him smile & laugh with the opponents”. Coaches have always moaned, or gone berserk when the result didn’t go their way. Going back to Kel Coslett, Alex Murphy, all the way through to the current head coach. I am not surprised the game is still struggling for officials, the abuse they get is frightening. 

[Sun 29th Jun: SL: St Helens v Salford Red Devils KO 15:00 (SS+/SL+)]

If it was dreadful for myself it must’ve been apocalyptic for the SRD fans that turned up. 
The only highlight of the game was i had a £10 bet with a mate who said “Saints would win by 60pts”. Lomax’s missed goal just before FT has been the highlight of the season so far for me, it is the most i have celebrated & laughed watching Saints for a long time .

10,100 at Saints for that eighty minutes of torture. 

[Sat 28th Jun: SL: Warrington Wolves v Hull FC KO 17:30 (Sky)]

I bloody hate that trumpet sound. 

[Fri 27th Jun: SL: Leeds Rhinos v Leigh Leopards KO 20:00 (Sky)]

I really enjoyed this game both sides threw the ball about and scored some cracking tries. I don’t think Lam & Arthur will agree with my comments. 

[The TV Thread]

I watched on BBC IPlayer - Implosion : The Titanic Sub Disaster”. The fella in charge of the submarine had it held together with sellotape & blue tac, he didn’t seem overly concerned. I feel sorry for the relatives who lost loved ones. Blue Peter could’ve done a far better job of building one. 

[Going to Craven Park]

I went to HKR earlier in the month. It’s a really good ground(i haven’t been since about 1994) with an excellent atmosphere. Craven Streat is very good with a great choice of food, the ale & tea is cheaper than they dish out at Saints. A cup of tea is 90p cheaper than at Saints, they also have two pint pots which i am a big fan of. The prematch entertainment, well i don’t know who they were but they were so bad it was funny. 
That’s where the fun stopped, it was disheartening knowing the game was over by HT then i had to sit through another 40mins(felt like an hour).
Two of my 3 mates went to the bar under the stand and stayed there for most of the second half. 
The only other downsides bar the result was the journey over, we got there before KO but a couple of coaches missed the first 20mins. Then the journey back i think i was dropped off at around 1.20am. I vowed after that loss not to go another away game this season.

Williams has been excellent for us, at times carrying us tbh. If he decides to go and live in Brisbane or the Gold Coast for a couple of years, good luck to him.

I will be sorry to see him leave wire & the SL, i think he has been a great player and really entertaining to watch. He has caused my club a lot of problems over the last couple of years. Good luck to the lad wherever he goes. 

[Starting 13 against Australia]

I wouldn’t have Lees in the 17 man squad, i must be the only Saints fan that doesn’t rate him. His tackling is very good but he will never break a tackle or offload. Wane seems a huge fan of his so id imagine if he doesn’t suffer any injuries (i hope he doesn’t), he will be in the starting 13.

Fantastic. 

[Sun 29th Jun: SL: St Helens v Salford Red Devils KO 15:00 (SS+/SL+)]

It has to be a Saints win but Salford do seem to have put in more battling performances of late. Hopefully they have a stronger side out, it’ll be good to see Danny Richardson playing he has always been a very good goal kicker.

Huddersfield by 8 they’re on the rise.

Wigan by 26. 

[Sat 28th Jun: SL: Warrington Wolves v Hull FC KO 17:30 (Sky)]

Both clubs desperate for the win, Wire more so. FC by 2. 

[Fri 27th Jun: SL: Leeds Rhinos v Leigh Leopards KO 20:00 (Sky)]

Match of the day/night (although games take that long nowadays it feels like a day/night cricket match). I think Leigh will be too strong for Leeds but Leeds will be hurting from last Friday.

Maybe we could get Sky to arrange for'know it all' Jon Wilkins to give Derek Beaumont 20 lashings before the Leigh v Wigan game live on TV. After all it's what the disgrace to RL would deserve, eh guys?

I’d pay to watch them have a boxing match.

Wilkin has been on this site a 99.9% total R'sole for most of his comments on any RL subject, but let's get behind him on the club and owner he has been bashing for the last 3 years, and if Leigh beat his beloved Saints in 3 weeks time he will find something else to bash them with.

Wilkin doesn’t annoy me as much as he used to like when he played for Saints especially under Cunningham.

His interview with Rush on Sky was 30mins of him fawning to the fella. 

You’re right Harry Leigh will batter Saints. 

[Sat 7th June : The Betfred RL Challenge Cup Final : Hull Kingston Rovers v Warrington Wolves KO 3pm BBC1/BBC iPlayer]

I didn’t have a side who i wanted to win, even if Wire are one of our local rivals i don’t go with the hatred that some Saints fans have for Wire (probably vice versa) or any club for that matter. 
I just wanted a good game which i think we got, the quality wasn’t great because of the weather but it was still a really exciting match. I hope Lindop’s error doesn’t affect him in the long run.

If Wire would’ve won would the club have offered him a new contract ?.

Excellent crowd. 

[Thur 22nd May: SL: Leigh Leopards v Hull FC KO 20:00 (SS+/SL+)]

FC were fantastic Adam Sezer’s kicking game was top notch, Pryce was also really good along with their pack. It was unusual to see the Leopards make so many errors in the 1st half, Ipape was still Leigh’s standout player. It was also odd having Charnley on the bench and Dwyer 18th man. I still have faith that Leigh will finish third in the table.
