I've not seen that article however I did hear him shoot down that awful Aussie woman who has replaced Angela Powers when asked about it. He was adamant it didn't bother him so I am surprised to hear he has now backtracked. Can you provide a link?
Seems like very sour grapes for him to suddenly change his mind.

Straight after the game on live tv he said he had no problem with saints doing what they did. Seems odd he’d change his mind later.

And what if Toulouse lose away at featherstone (very possible) and York win at Halifax?
Will York go up?

| Wow, what have I started here, it’s only an opinion forum ,the statement was a bit of fun and a little relief after the London Leeds game, mr barham red trust me I am a rovers fan of 40 years ,spegs happens to be a dear friend of mine who is a dyed in the wool fc fan of 40 years, who only text me yesterday after reading some comments on here and stating “how can people take things so seriously” I am truly sorry if it has raised folks blood pressure and as some have said leaves me wide open for a slice of humble pie, but believe me I will be the first to come back to this thread at 21.30 Friday to take the medicine, I have duly apologised to Antwerp red as I thought by the time we played Salford on the final day we would be 4pts clear of bottom and Salford would be 4pts of top 5 ,this was posted days before we crashed to wakey and Salford cruised it at Hull lol, so people chill out ,enjoy life , it really is not worth getting mass hysteria over a game.

Its the world we live in. We are now brought up to 'complain,' the snowflake would say 'raise' anything we don't like, plus the internet has given the fat tw4t in the back bedroom a voice which they didn't have before.

You answer your own question. It's an opinion forum not a wind up forum.
If you post something that isn't serious to you but is serious to other people, I reckon you can expect a response like the one you have got.
Next weeks games are huge for a number of clubs.

Must be mate, if any fans should feel a bit bemused at my post it’s would be yourselves but by the sound of your response you took it the right way.

I always say before I post “would you say this to someone’s face” and my answer to this post was yes , it’s no secret that this forum has a lot less traffic these days , is it really a wind up to state what is in all probability the future outcome . I am basically stating something that leaves me horrendously wide open to ridicule should we lose heavily, but believe me I have the ability to laugh at myself as well as laughing at or with others should this blow up in my face .Its ironic that no London supporter has took major offence to the post, in fact wire quin sees it for what it is. Now let’s move on to Friday and enjoy the game. Ps you won’t have a great deal to moderate if people will not post due to fear of upsetting others by believing in your own teams ability.
You also have a man shooting a gun as an emoji,with you saying it’s not a wind up forum should you not get rid of that as I fail to see how it could be used without winding up or offending anyone.

Hi mate, I like jeans posts because to me it’s humour, good humour, you know his agenda and it makes me chuckle, but I have a dry sense of humour . In fact it’s the response he generates that puzzles me because I really cannot grasp how naive people are, if not for the response though he/she would stop posting and to me that would be a loss to the forum(opinion) , I take humour from the forum but I also read some very articulate and informative posts that I enjoy, fans that know a great deal more than me, and also see the game in a different way.

My grievance was the use of the word dudes! be careful what you ask for, as subtle, intelligent humour will soon be replaced by hit you in the face yank c$ap.
I'm hoping for two points on Friday from you lot!
Make no mistake if you were sat bottom we would be in overdrive on here!!!!

Correctamundo, spotted this a while back. Some highly gullible people use these forums unfortunately.

Fair play to him for effort, but really who could be bothered to keep it up day after day for years? It's pretty sad really.

| Lol, trust me I am not jean, I am slightly flattered that you make the comparison as I find him / her amusing, I would never reply to his posts because the joke is instantly on you for doing so, the Leigh fans response to the posts I think get the closest to fire with fire comedy ,I particularly liked the freezing dragon giff , in a world so serious is it really that bad that a bit of humour is shot down, I hope jean is out there and well as he is not a bad person ,just a bit cheeky and dry. I can only reiterate I am a robin and the only facts I can add is would jean know that we used to have an electric scoreboard at the new craven park that was not a lit up electric one but red and white tiles that had a few set images after tries , one was a giraffe with the phrase “things are looking up” and one was an elephant with sunglasses with the phrase” cool try baby”. Could a rovers fan verify this or was it my imagination

| Few mentions of the 4 points they got from Saints on this thread. London won those points fair and square. We've fielded similar teams against most teams in Super League including Warrington and beaten them (They did the same that day to be fair).
The first time we lost to London I think there were only 4 regulars not playing, or 4 fewer than the previous week.

I find it staggering then that you could set a league winning record margin and have the side that gets relegated doing the double over you , quite astonishing really , a great side or a poorer comp

I think the Bulls got fined in 2000 for putting out a weakened side ironically against saints, have they ditched that punishment now ?, saying that the Bulls are putting out a weakened side every week these days so I guess any financial punishment on them would really hit hard.
