I can actually sympathise somewhat with the Saints fans on this one. For me it comes down to having a bit of respect. Everyone hates us, Saints or Leeds, but in reality, it's those three sides who prop up every other club in SL. Hull KR and plenty of the historically "smaller" sides, seem to go OTT when they beat the bigger sides. They spend longer, giving it to the away teams fans, than they do actual ..read more

That said in the last few weeks weve navigated that to push Catalans away with a fair few out (should have won it at the death and Catalans frustrations should really have been rewarded with two red cards as the following bans confirmed), then beat Wigan, then nilled Hudds with 12 men.

The lack of a policing presence is an issue however, each club has a duty to identify such morons and issue them with a significant ban (if not a lifetime ban).

We have a great away following in the main, taking big numbers and are loud but we have definitely attracted a yobbish element, lads who can’t take their ale and think they are untouchable. I went with my eldest lad today who’s 13 and my mate and his lad who is only 6. We both said that that is probably the last time we’ll go on a coach.

Mikey Lewis was superb and the pace of their ball movement had us falling off tackles and poor first contact. Very un Saints like. Strangely enough our attack looked decent at times and Welsby looked more like his old self, scoring once and assisting every other try (from memory) I still think Wigan will win the CC SF but boy they’ll have a hard game. Two weeks on the trot they’ve smashed Wigan and then Saints. That’s impressive. In answer to the Dodd question, I ..read more
