Wigan look the second best side I’ve seen so far and beating Hull KR and Leeds is a very good start by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I thought for Hull only really Griffin and Satae can hold their heads up. Maybe Lovodua too who struggled to make much happen but did look lively and at least tried to spark us up. The rest ranged from totally anonymous to downright liability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pause your tv and have a look. As the Saints centres are always yards off by the time the ball has been passed twice from the play the ball any attacking options out wide are killed as their centres are standing next to the attack. Not saying Hull would have won if Kendall had seen this, but it just chuffing annoys me. Happens every flaming game. But then what do I know, I've only been watching for 40 years. agree with this, the only way to beat it is to slow the play the ball down.

Satae looked good in an awful team performance, especially when you consider he won’t really be familiar with that sort of weather. Never seemed to give up driving the ball in. “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @Damien; @Fevrover I think you both make good points that it’s early days in a long season, but also that Saints need credit. @Eddie Agree that St Helens will come in again with the bookies - they were 15/8 preseason. Personally I’ve got a tenner on Saints, Melbourne and Leigh to win their respective competitions this season at 30/1. I reckon I’ve underestimated Featherstone Rovers though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Saints are any worse or better than all other sides in this regard. I think the other thing to consider is ref's are typically taking teams back 11 or 12 metres these days... probably so they don't have to ping every single player stood a foot in front of them. Not saying this is right or wrong, just the way it is reffed these days. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

In defence of Hull they will get players back and will improve no dout,if we don't get up this season we never will ( no disrespect to leigh or anyone else). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this is right or wrong, just the way it is reffed these days. We had this against Fev, and I don't like it. The ref took both teams back 12 but allowed a sort of jump start by the defence so they had a bit of momentum into the tackle. I don't get it, take them 10 then penalise if they're offside, I think it's a bit of an easy get out for a ref.

To me it always seems the culture and lack of professionalism that is the issue at clubs like Hull FC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I thought the ref was good today. He was forced into making a lot of calls, due to the conditions and the poor discipline from some of the players, but I think he got the vast majority of the calls correct. He had zero influence on the outcome. 6 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

graveyard johnny Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 saints could be dominance in world club rugby league like wigan in the 80s but to do that they need to get rid of lomax to salford or leigh first did the bloke who invented the phrase "one hit wonder" invent anything else?
