A win against Bradford at the weekend will see us break Bradford's record of 15 consecutive away wins in the Superleague era.

What in your opinions are the reasons behind our continued success on opposition turf this season?

It's a funny one isn't it. I think a lot of the time we lose games, we beat ourselves (Bulls at home being a prime example) - perhaps playing away from home removes a layer of complacency that can creep in at KR?

Don't worry you'll still only be level after sunday

.

are we just ignoring Murrayfield and Old Trafford?

Aren't they neutral rather than away?

Surely an away game is at the home ground of the opposition.

...or a game "away" from home.

So in a cup final both teams are the away team?

they are both away from home.

I think its a lack of pressure away. our one fault is the pressure can, on occasion get to us. 2 GF's are proof of this. As had been said we lost to bradford, they didn't beat us. We try to play to fancy a game sometimes at home when basic rugby would be fine.
I suppose we could have the option of boring rugby and probably win nearly every match, or a more entertaining brand and lose the occasional game.

I think it's more to do with us having easier away games at this stage.

What's the chances of this thread being a jinx? I just hope DD doesn't claim this to be the greatest away run, otherwise we are screwed.

very true!!

For the last 13 months?

My thought too.

We played well last year away from home but I think this year we've not really played a team that's in form away from home. If you look down our away fixtures this year I think we've been relatively lucky with when we've played the teams. We've still got away trips to Rovers, Leeds and Wire. Certainly Rovers and Leeds away would have put our streak to the test as probably would have a trip to Harlequins RL.

Cant really argue with that, well maybe the wire part

Christ I can't win!

If it is a jinx its FearTheVee's fault not mine!

We'll lose to Bradford. I thought it even before this thread

Another factor is that teams do come the KR to spoil and slow down the game. Tactics that would be unpopular if they tried it at there own ground.

I also agree there is less pressure away from home to perform.

Anyway you look at it a loss at bradford would, currently, be considered a shock result, like it was at kr earlier. They are improving but are still not a top 4 team.

we have a selection dilema, which is nice www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1865

Good point. Maybe we've turned into the Liverpool of Super League. I hope not because I'd like to win the league again in my lifetime.

Are you admitting to getting old now.
