I love the fact that Sky's two long serving Cretins are still massively in love with the "Entertainers"

. even though they are limping along playing house rugby.

there was so much sly juvenile stuff to come out of those idiot gobs it's sickening even to the point when Hohia's dropped elbow on Myler was quite clearly acceptable.

Tony Smith amazes me that he still has the grace to give these clowns the time of day. if it was me as soon as Bill Arthur put the microphone in front of my face i'd rip the spongey bit off it chuck it in the crowd and Tell Bill to shove whats left of it up wiggys backside, and walk off (holding in a smug chuckle).

That the radio coverage on GMR isn't the best,not when they kept going back for the football score.

Thanks for the replies. For me it is no different to playing Sunday afternoon to Friday, apart from the fact players won't have got much sleep last night. It is Championship players regularly playing Sunday then Thursday with only one training session and a full time job that I feel sorry for.

For me it was maybe an attempt at mind games with Briers knowing Wane et al would be watching, or more likely just a typical Briers sarcy comment. Smith has made his dislike for Hemmings pretty well known (the other week he said at the fans forum he dislikes him as a person) and is painfully blunt and difficult when interviewed by him, I imagine Lee's comments wound him up- he is only human.

As for ripping the microphone and all that malarkey, don't bite the hand that feeds you springs to mind.

what's it got to do with me???

That's very kind of you to say so. Monday night clearly had an effect on you seeing as you wrote this on the Saints board before the game:-



We're well used to being being two faced on here -Rogues and Odem in particular - but even by their standards that was quite a turnaround.

Thanks Ian. Later on he called it 'banter.' Lowest of the low for me.

Yes ,& how long did he hold Myler down for ? He should have been in the bin.

There were 2-3 Saints players that were clearly quite frustrated during that match. Probably because we had a vice like grip on the forwards for most of the game. But with Monas, Waterhouse, Bennie and even Higham tackling anything that moved it was hardly surprising. I think somebody has already said that defence won us the match and I think that is probably true. The backs didn't quite click. Atkins was rusty and his passing was off. I would assume also that Ratchford playing in an unfamiliar position might also have contributed some uncertainty. If Bridge is not going to play at Wembly, then perhaps we need to play Ratchford in the line to get the rhythm and timing sorted out in the backs.

Thought McCarthy played well tonight breaking the line and constantly getting quality offlads away. If he continues in the form he is in he just might earn himself a Wembley starting slot!!!!!

Man, I got that touch by McCarthy totally wrong, I guess I wasn't paying that much attention. It did definitely go forward, you can see it travel over the line on the ground.



That contested high ball was still rubbish, though. The saints player (Meli?) had his fingers on the ball when he hit the ground, but Joel had it securely in both hands by that point, which doesn't sound very defused to me.

To be fair to Northampton Saint, he isn't entirely two-faced.

For example, he stood by his assertion that Saints have the best pack in the league, even having just witnessed that same pack being torn a new one by ours.

There is a picture on garyskent thread which shows Meli has hold of the ball and Joel has his hands outside of these. So MAYBE the officials got that bit right BUT was watching the SL show highlights last night and I am not sure whether Meli's left foot was actually touching the try line. If it was I dont know whether this counts as "in goal" as it was for Brett try or whether it counts as "outside of the ingoal area" as it would be on the three other lines.

Anyways it didnt cost us the game so lets move on and get ready for Saturday. Afterall....the games only have 4 days inbetween Eddie.

Are we not changing the rules yet because gravity is too strong for Tommy Makinson and he grounded the ball in goal?

Meli did get his hands on it in the air, but I thought the point was that he had to have hold of it when he touched the ground again to defuse it? But yes, it didn't cost us the game, I just like talking these things over.

What is the rule on grounding the ball behind your own line, does it have to be intentional or not? If not then that was pretty unfair on Makinson as it looked like he slipped.

As soon as the ball/ball carrying arm hits the ground in the in goal it's diffused

The 4/5 days issue that Hemmings got so uptight about is not the issue and wasn't why Briers had a whinge, which surely Eddie should realise!! (maybe not)

The issue is that coming into potentially the biggest game of the season Warrington will have had 5 days recovery time after playing away from home against the 3rd best team in the league wheras Wigan will have had 8 days recovery time after a gentle run out against Hull FC!! Both Warrington games live on SKY giving them no flexibility to change!!

Can you imagine the furore if the boot was on the other foot?...........Shaun Wane would be demanding the intervention of Internatinal Rescue and a knighthood for Sam Tomkins!!

**** me but there are some dense buggers on here... I thought SaintsFan was bad. NOW I know why I avoid the Warrington board like the veritable.

Frankly I can't be mythered with you, but do yourself a favour and read back through all my previous posts on this site - you'll be royally entertained and educated at the same time believe you me. But anyway, to precis my long-held and consistent views on the current Wire side:

1. You're the best team in the league by a country mile when you play to your maximum.
2. You have a tendency not to be able to do so in the playoffs.
3. Reminding Wire fans of this fact for a bit of banter is fun.
4. Doing it in comedy over-exaggerated confrontational style is even more fun.
5. In my opinion, Saints have a marginally better pack than you do in player-for-player personnel terms.
6. Our pack has looked anything but on the occasions we've played Wigan and now you because of the mess our coaching setup is in right now (and has been for several seasons).
7. Because of the basic quality of our personnel upfront we still have a reasonable chance of beating you in the playoffs if things go in our favour and your playoff jitters kick in again.
8. That chance isn't great, but I still wouldn't completely bet against it happening.
9. If we had to play you at O/T then I would emigrate to avoid having to witness the mauling we would take.
10. A lot of people who post on the Warrington board are clearly idiots with extraordinarily limited intellect and unworthy of my further attention. This is to your detriment.

I think that that about covers it. Enjoy

To try and claim the Warrington board is somehow worse than the others is just being ridiculous. There are idiots on every board and they are always the minority - perhaps you would be able to engage in reasonable conversation with the rest of the fans if you avoided such patronising comments as the ones above.

what a weapon.

Northampton Saint might actually be a bigger Tommy Tanker than Odem.

Where did I make any such comment? I merely stated there were a lot of planks here as indeed there are elsewhere. I wade just as knee-deep in half-wits on the Saints board every day trust me.




Point proved I think

Oh and thanks for adding me to your signature by the way. It amuses me to see the import you clearly see in my opinions. I can hardly blame you - if I were a knuckle-dragging lowlife then I would find me enchanting and worthy of such adoration too. Good for you.

You appear to have forgotten your post from half an hour ago:



Also, having checked Ian77's quote of yours from the Saints board I see he was quite right - you completely berated Warrington as a nothing team, then came on here claiming you respect us and think we're a good team as soon as we'd beaten you. But in pointing this out we are dense?



Seriously, have some dignity and just leave, you don't have a leg to stand on.

agreed... file next to odem, king warrior, trent whatshisname and the loony with the calming pills.

oh no Jay..... he is quite clearly winning this.... anyone can see that.

he is coming away with his reputation fully intact... of that there is no doubt.
