Won't be a problem for too much longer though!

why are playing in NRL on setanta next season

Aye, that's the one!

You keep doing it don't you, teasing the punters

Let me tell you - those that have been privilidge to know 'bits' are waiting every bit as excitedly as the rest have for it to be confirmed, by way of an announcement, and then being able to review and discuss the issues arising from it!

It may not help if i pray, but i will give it a go anyway.

stop teasing then

Remember a Saints game probably early 90's,we stood in front of the seats near the dugouts at that time,my brother decided he was gonna tell Paul Forber exactly what he thought of the dirty beggar!As Forber walked past us my brother launched this tirade of abuse at Forber,he stopped,looked around and slowly walked back to us,said brother decided he wasn't gonna back down and carried on his tirade,Forber,flexed his muscles,doubled in size and leant over the wall practically nose to nose with my brother and growled the loudest growl you've ever heard....My brother shut up as everyone else around us pi$$ed themselves!

Love it - that's memories are made of.

Make sure your brother gets a programme next week!

Ha ha,never learnt his lesson though!

challenge cup 1960.

Go on.... please!

I believe the win at Saints in the 1960 challenge cup first round was one of the clubs most notable victories for the following reasons.
(a) St helens at the time were running away with the league.
(b) They had already beaten us twice in the league.
(c) Gerry Round played for an hour with a shattered jaw.
(d) Harold Poynton skill throughout the match even after his collision with Gerry Round. Memories.!!

You saying that Harold broke Gerry's jaw??

Accidentally.Didn't you see the collision TRB ?

I was sat in a pub in Middlesbrough having demanded to get it put on the big screen, Stott kicked the drop and i was dancing round the pub like a man possessed and pished, with the locals wondering what the hell had happened.

Not that old!

come admit it you a wakey fan at heart but support wigan because they was more successful years ago

Most that remember will say the 79 semi final or Oakwell i was there but other than that the two other highlights for me must be our two away wins in all the years i have followed Trinity

1981 a fine 16 14 win and 2003 when Waisale Sovatabua got our winning try in a 16 10 win

other than that we beat them 23 3 at home the week before the 79 semi and a great game in 77/78 we won 36 23 at home i may be wrong but did Brian Juliff make his debut in that game?

I apologise if someone has already used this one, but Friday 3rd July 2004 in atrocious weather and with the SKY cameras present:

This was the last match that St Helens players Sean Long and Martin Gleeson would have been available to play for the Saints in the Super League season, after both had been found guilty for their involvements in a betting scandal earlier in the season, then to be banned from July up to and including the Grand Final. In fact, Gleeson never played for St Helens again with news of Warrington signing him up being made official later that season.

Things looked ominous to start with for Wakefield, as Paul Sculthorpe crossed over just two minutes into the match. However, this would prove to be a false dawn, as Wakefield soon bounced back through Sid Domic's levelling try, a result of neat build-up play inovolving Michael Korkidas and Colum Halpenny. The rest of the first half would prove to be one way traffic. Try two saw Trinity mimicking the Saints at their own game, with quick hands from Jason Demetriou and Gareth Ellis allowing Ben Jeffries to cross over. The third score was arguably the one that demoralised St Helens. While pressing Trinity's line on fifth tackle, St Helens looked almost certain to score. Unfortanately for the Saints, Sculthorpe's pass only found Michael Wainwright and he charged the full length of the pitch, shrugging off the advancing Darren Albert and running the last twenty five meters with his shorts around his ankles to score a stunning try. Jeffries got in on the long range solo act himself for his second try.
In the second half, St Helens did fight back, however the damage had already been done. A probing run from Paul Wellens paved the way for Ade Gardner to score in the corner. Steve Snitch increased Wakefield's lead by forcing his way over the line. Teenage debutant James Roby picked up his first St Helens try after a penalty goal from David March and Wakefield's final try was another spectacular one; Semi Tadulala picked up the loose ball from Demetriou's pressured pass and the Fijian winger shook off Sculthorpe to score, later confirmed as a Try by the video referee. To rub more salt in the wound, Jeffries bagged a cheeky drop goal. Ensuring that the Saints did not leave Belle Vue quietly, Willie Talau scored a last minute consolation:

TRINITY: Halpenny, Tadulala, Demetriou, Domic, Wainwright, Ellis, Jeffries, Field, March, Korkidas, Solomona, Applegarth, Spicer
SUBS: Snitch, Handforth, Talipeau, Blake

SAINTS: Albert, Gardner, Gilmour, Talau, Hardman, Hooper, Wellens, Fozzard, Wilkin, Mason, Joynt, Edmondson, Sculthorpe
SUBS: Feaunati, Fa'asavulu, Roby, Graham

Ref: Karl Kirkpatrick, Warrington.

Man of the Match - David March.

Which publication did you get that from??



Good write up - and just in time, thanks!

After all that, he dosent even post the score

You're welcome.







No publication, just from pure memory, for the record the score was 41 - 22 to TRIN that night.

Goood grief I couldn't remember half as much as that for last Sunday's Catalan match

He's watched the video to death though!
