You may have heard of a thing called the World Cup.most of our top players where there not preparing for this game.The nrl and players and players association request players have a 8 week break between seasons .The boys come back 2 weeks before the game
I think Saints had some players in the world cup didn't they? and the Panthers are my team
Sometimes you just have to admit that the Saints won on merit

What about the comment about domestic violence?
Pretty much the same thing. Penrith being a capital for dv is about as accurate as every souffs fan having no teeth, and they still fall under the same banner as far as rules go.

If he wished dv on you or implied it was deserved, then it would be a different story.

It's a shit comment I agree with you (and others) but welcome to the internet, acknowledging shit posts like that just feed his/her/they/thems hunger for tears.

then why didn't the score blow out then.

Why were St Helens kept to 0 in the 2nd half.

You're here for this reason only.....enjoy.

No offence but St Helens were not kept to 0 in the 2nd half at all. They score 2 points from a penalty goal 3 minutes into the second half. The halftime score was 10-0.

Am well aware of this, however just stating tha facts. Not really a World Club Challenge when a lot of the players who won the comp with us are no longer playing.

We 100% would’ve won had Edwards played, throw in the others and it was smooth sailing.

Api or Edwards would have been enough.

They did have some players but 3 of their key players were actually rested from the WC/skipped it for this match. Lomax, Whalsmley, another one I forgot and Rosby retired from rep footy. None of our boys would ever skip the WC to recover for the WCC. It means more to them than to us so they were hungrier. Is what it is. Tbf to them they did have a gun winger injured.

I think you will find that Lomax and Warmsley had operations on injuries in the off season. I fact Warmsley had 2 i think.
I don't know this Rosby bloke you are on about as he wasn't in the Saints starting 13 or on the interchange bench.
If you can't motivate yourself to win in front of your own fans that says a lot about the players and lack of ambition.

Again without the benefit of being able to view tonight’s performance closely, I would think Hosking would have to be in front of Luke Garner in the pecking order. The stats, while not the be all and end all, speak for themselves. Hosking work rate, if nothing else was pretty good.

He is the type of plodder we used to have in past eras, the Nathan Smith type. A wholehearted effort player but absolutely no danger to anyone on the field, in attack or defense.

Who we had out there were good enough to adjust to the conditions and get the job down. They didn't.
Fair call but some of those conditions were that the game had different set of rules They laid all over us were off side mostly and your supposed to play the ball with your foot I thought. And throw in that soft cock penalty for off side on our try line oh I forgot to mention the shot on Nathan and the coward hit on May

Lol....if Stryker gets banned, I'll put it down to the power of the woman. He did not target anybody in here with that comment...just used it to get a laugh in a black humour way. If you ban him for that, I can find a LOT of other examples where people could get the boot.

It is the internet.....harden up or turn it off.

I hope Stryker does get a ban. There's a fine line between banter and right out offensive behaviour.

Absolute rubbish....no post he made was directed at you regarding dv. If he targeted you directly, then he should absolutely piss off. That was obviously an attempt at crude humour, not a personal attack on you. Good that you are on the mend.
