Is that all you've got to come back with getting quite pathetic really.
Look you won the game, you should be over the moon, albeit against our reserve team

| Quote ="General Zod."This point is not a measured one.
The SL rounds during the summer are generally of a lower intensity where as it's now that the intensity of the games is building towards the play-offs, your team has been found wanting because the intensity of the games means tighter defence in and around the ruck which places the reliance more wider of the ruck where Saints simply don't have the pace to hurt teams - the players know this and their confidence is disintegrating because there is simply no substitute for pace.
The above point has been validated by your failure in the last 2 year's GF's at Old Trafford and this year I don't think you'll even get there because the final will be between Hull KR and Leeds with the Rhinos making it a hatrick (unforunately)...'"
So, us having no go forward in the props isn't the problem? We'll see. BTW, I'll happily take an even money bet with you that Saints go further than Hull KR in the playoffs.

Potter's master tactics in action again.I think the league has cottoned on to the move involving Pryce now.How many times were we caught in possession on the last tackle?It is happening every week.
At least tonight showed we were right not to retain Long's services.'"
Long was one of our better players. He may not have been spectacular, but he tried hard and looked dangerous at times, and was at least trying to create things.

Of course having no props is a problem but it simply highlights your lack of strength in depth in the front row.
Hull KR missed our best prop and captain for half a season; a best young prop lovegrove for almost half a season, Aizue for a sustained period etc. etc.
As for taking an even money bet, I've had plenty of success exploiting the thick RL bookies betting against your team so I'll continue to put my money where it will generate a best return on investment.
Look, Saints have been a great side but the dynamics of SL has changed and the harsh reality is that Saints now look like a team of flat-track bullies who are found wanting in high intensity games.

In a great position to challenge in the play-offs, running into some great form as the intensity of the games increases.
I'm starting to get the impression that some of you are taking the demise of your team not too well - you need to lighten up and simply discuss topics without going on the defensive all the time.

We've got 3 injured out of a pool of 5. Please show me how you can have strength in depth when you are that low on numbers. You can't. You end up with 20 year old 2nd rows carrying the can against experienced prop forwards. I'd bet that Hull KR's poor run this season coincided with Vella being out. Oh, and isn't Aizue not getting picked anyway?

You won't mind if I save this then? I find it utterly incredible for anyone to write Saints off after about 4 bad performances. Still, if you were that confident of yourself, you'd be taking the even money bet so I'll consider this as you just mouthing off.

Saints are in a great position too. We might not be playing well, but we've a few troops to come back so hopefully we'll improve as the team plays together a little more.
I've also stated my doubts about us winning or even reaching the Grand Final and I've made a point about the lack of pace in our side, so none of this comes as a shock to me.

| Not making the cup final is the best chance of us having a successful run in the play offs. For Leeds we should have Cayless, Fa'asavalu, Hargreaves, Wheeler, Eastmond and Dixon back. The likes of Graham, Wilkin, Wello and Gidley look desperate for a rest as well.

At Rovers we've played:
Vella
Fozzard
Lovegrove
Wheeldon
Aizue
Netherton
Newton
Watts
Walker
Mills
...(yes 10 players) all at prop.
This shows a lack of versatility on Saints part and a poor squad construction.

Err no. The bookies will give me better odds than you hence why I choose to eanr my money with them.
Anyway, we smashed you last week and will do even worse in the play-offs so stop living in the past and face your teams decline with a little bit of dignity

That's 10 as well. Oh and we're above you, so what that says about your squad construction I wouldn't like to say. The fact that our MAIN hit up props (Fa'as and Cayless) have been missing for more than half the season would harm ANY TEAM is obviously beyond you.

I think you need to calm down, son. You're third in the league and you've had a good run. Don't go thinking you're a shoo-in for the GF. You may look a bit silly. You had a great shot at CC glory with a home tie against a poor Warrington side, but I recall you choking.

Don't say that! They'll get their chum Ganson to ref it and it will be 2 points nailed on! They have the RFL in their back pockets.

| Saints victory tonight was greater than the 12-10 scoreline would suggest as the confidence, which seems a remarkable thing to cling to after beating an uninspired Huddersfield Academy team, will start to come back.
