GAME ON : St. Helens v Hull FC - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Our reserve team just going through the motions. Good experience for all the academy lads playing tonight

Regards

King James

And our academy lads struggling having played far too many games this year

Surely this can’t be right, Hull are the only team in SL to be suffering with injuries

Therefore they have had far more Super League experience and should have won.

Saints fans come out of hiding again

Think we had more players missing than the Hull team.

Barba (50%), Morgan, Roby, Walmsley, Swift, Smith, Peyroux, Taia, Fages and LMS thats 10 players not playing from our first team squad.

Nice to see all those young saints lads with League Leaders Medals around there necks, big boost for there confidence and most of them home grown players as well.

So league leaders but you would not know if you went to the super league website.

Top 3 super league stories.

Rhino's end Salfords unbeaten streak
Dom manfreids scored 2 on return
Wakefield overcome catalan

Jesus wept.

The home page for all rl

New agreement for rl
New structure
Ward not getting carried away with broncos form

Its a joke.


Forget the national media coverage our own media team can't sell a success story.

Completely poor mentally within the game to play down a trophy.

Seen better coverage of the dwarfism wrestling championship yesterday than Rugby league.

We have run league leaders so far into the ground yet we then turn around and moan that we don't get serious financial sponsorship or that sky undervalue our broadcast rights.

Well we don't exactly help ourselves by calling a season of work a hubcab. If we want others outside the game to take notice then we have to stop running down our own marketing opportunities.

We should at least have a trophy like this: mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-0 ... m/10178084 to keep a meaningful record of 'minor premiers' over the seasons, instead of just a pathetic keepsake that is never seen again

It's not about devaluing your key product but valuing all of them. You don't see apple going around saying the I-watch is crap because the I-phone is their top product. I know rival fans will try to undercut others, but clubs and the governing bodies should be focused on promoting the products.

Why don't they use the old championship trophy? The hub cap is a joke.

Wasn't that given to Wigan?

Very good analogy, its one of the things the RFL are very good at, devaluing the subject instead of giving the game stature and image.

Which players would Swift and Smith replaced?

I wrote 1st team squad and not 1st 17.
