Robins Show their Underdog Spirit to Eliminate the Warriors An all Super League Challenge Cup match up between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR did little to demand the neutrals attention after the 60-0 drubbing which the Warriors handed out to their visitors just a short fortnight ago. With the DW Stadium pitch undergoing maintenance, the game was moved to the Leigh Sports Village and SKY select the game for live televising. Just over four and a half thousand souls, some of them using free tickets handed out by the Robins after their heavy defeat a fortnight ago, braved the elements to see whether KR could upset the bookies, the pundits and all expectations.

Pack got mullered again.

Hull KR smashed them up the middle. Don't know how half those pie-eater props are earning a wage.

As for Bateman, he looked like a garden gnome next to his own winger (Burgess).

Well done Micky went to injure a HKR player and smashed your own

Watching the tries on sky news was worth the licence fee. Specifically when they showed the gorillas mush after the last KR try.

Apparently there were more KR fans than pies which is not surprising as there was chaos at Platt Bridge. With two sets of lights and three choices of route it was all too much to take in for the wigin lot.

Hull KR new prop Dane Tisle looked good, looked to have gotten through a lot of work. Campese controlled the game very well too.

Remind me to laugh next time one of your players gets knocked out in a head class will you?

Cheers

Not true, but there were more Wigan fans at Leigh than Saints fans at LP. hth.

We did play York though. Hardly an enticing opposition! Beside the point, but I've never understood why fans take pleasure in rival clubs getting low crowds.

Who do you think generated more money for their club on Friday night Saints or Wigan?

If Wigan owned their own ground they would still be in the challenge cup, what a sad state of affairs for a modern day club.

Would they, Castleford beat Wigan at the DW last year.
If we had played York on the car park we would have won.

And you should know about generating money, Saints have LOST around 8 million pounds over the last ten years.

You account for a 70 points two week turn around by bringing up games from 12 months ago, sounds about right.


I gather by the way you swerved the question you know the answer. Wigan might have won the challenge cup a record number of times but they sold their soul in doing so and are now reaping what they sowed. May it long continue.

Having to play your home games "away" because you don't have a stadium. Priceless.

You simply don't learn do you? Or maybe it's more accurate to say that you are too simple to learn.

Shall we go over the whole balance sheet/assets/liabilities thing again? Saints' looks ok actually - how's yours?

We can omit the transfer fees to get a true picture unless you'll then concede the point that you are a selling Club in order to include them?

This must be at least the 10th time.

No? Thought not.

Idiot.

And in those 10yrs we've won 2 Grandfinals (come runner up to many times to remember), Been World Champions, Won 3 Challenge cups, 5 League Leaders Shields, BBC Sports Team of the Year and built a state of the art Stadium Called Langtree Park the envy of all Superleague?

Not a bad 10yrs

Not sure I envy your flat pack 18k capacity stadium, SL runner-up medals or league leaders shields. WCC winners maybe. We've spent half of the last decade being so average we almost got relegated, yet still have as many SL trophies as you and only 1 less cup lol.

Don't let that stop you going on about how envious we are of you though.

Oh dear. This is desperate even by your standards..........

Let's try some questions that as usual you can ignore.

Do you think that having to give away home advantage because your landlord would not let you play affected your chances?

Do you prefer the Lenighan business model perfected at Oxford United to that implemented by the St Helens chairman. That to be precise is to run the club within a tight budget and to sell the asset?

Yes or no to the above will suffice.

Finally how about replacing your reference to events of 25 years ago with something new?

How about "increasingly in their shadow"

Not been a good weekend for you and Rogues?

Don't let the truth get in the way of your bitterness. ..........

It's truly heart breaking that our years of losses led us to sell our stadium to a supermarket, pay rent to a third tier football club and play our home cup games away so our third tier football club landlords can have their pitch patched up.

Hang on a minute . . . . .

You have three SL titles to our six?
