Pulling the kind of stunt that you are trying, you deserve to lose.
Unfortunately, in the grand scheme of things, it wont matter. Saints looks comfortably the best side in the comp and one or two losses,
wont affect thier league position.

Mind you, it will be a long journey home for your fans who probably expected to see a top Saints side and not a team full of kids

But the youngest kids in our team for tomorrows game are Dodd, Welsby and Wingfield all three have played against top opposition. If Wigan are playing poop by good friday are you suggesting we shouldn't play these kids.

Yes. Play as weak a team as possible. Leave out 9 players like we had to in 2019 to give us a chance. You'll probably still win.

But we are probably playing around 12 International players and one state of origin player tomorrow with a couple of kids who have played nearly every game this season against the likes of Catalan and Warrington.

Only 12, however do you manage

Other teams fans are just jealous of St Helens. Don’t rise to it.

Toulouse scoring more than a point a minute so far...

They are doing well at the moment giving Saints a taste of there own medicine. Sounds as though discipline and kicking game poor so far from Saints, Toulouse not allowing them to get into their stride.

Toulouse win. Not dodgy at all.

Remind me again how saints have the best squad in the league and can rest players etc.

Every weak team they play gets beat.

I called it when I heard what they were planning to do. I'm not suggesting they're deliberately losing to promoted expansion teams but they're definitely not approaching them as normal games. This won't affect Saints season and it's great for the game for TO to get off the mark and not go the season without a win.

We didn’t rest players and we didn’t even play as though it was going to be an easy game. Toulouse played very well and just let Saints come up with errors and bad options, the few chances Toulouse had they scored points and Saints didn’t.
The Saints players now at the airport with their tails between their legs, congrats to Toulouse done what other teams have failed to do so far.

suppose stains deserve the right to play a weakened team as like you say it shouldn't effect their season, as for the clubs at the bottom its up to them to turn their season around

personally I don't give toss what you do but it would be funny if the RFL fine you for it

Rest players, injured, whatever....as soon as you take a few of your first choice 17 out you lose.

They'd better hope the injuries aren't genuine

Aged well.

do you mean are genuine

Saint's can play whatever team they want from their 30 man squad. It isn't upto them to help anybody but themselves.

This aged well.

No, aren't.

If they're missing players for a period of time they're done for.

Except St Helens will still be challenging for the grand final whilst Wakefield will be fighting to avoid relegation yet again lmao

The win will worry Leeds and Castleford, both have to go to Toulouse later if they lose then they are in a relegation battle.

Wakey are a decent side under Poaching this season.

'done for'

Saints will look after Saints’ interests.

If stuff like this spares the rest of us guidance on how the clubs we support should be run ‘in the right way’, then it is good news all round.

Edit. In fairness, it wasn’t that much of an under-strength team. Perception often matters more than the reality in these things though.

Good result for Toulouse.
