Hmm, our limited success is causing something of a crisis of confidence over on RedVee.

They do genuinely believe there is a conspiracy against them. I fear for their mental health, such a very strange bunch and a different breed.

Only 9000 there to watch the World Champions, bloody refs are knocking 6k off their gates now as well. I expect McManus to sue the RFL.

Hmm it’s been revised.

The televised fixture between St Helens and Hull FC on Friday saw a revised attendance of 10,350, with several hundred away fans making the near-250 round trip.

If you look at the sheer volume of decisions that have gone against us in four games, it's hard not to think that. The facts are that Saints humiliated the RFL with the Knowles fiasco last season and it showed how incompetent a ship the RFL run. They are smarting from that and are hammering us. If you think the RFL is too professional for that to happen you need to have a think. Whilst I doubt it's a deliberate campaign, I have no doubt that everyone involved in the disciplinary process hates Saints right now over that as they all had their pants pulled down. If you think referees are above being dishonest I suggest you look at some of the Mark Clattenburg interviews and interviews with former referees in general. They talk openly about wanting certain teams to win games and about hating certain players. Referees and disciplinary committees are people and are open to the same biases, jealousies and hatred as we all are. There isn't a pre-conceived conspiracy, but we're certainly not going to get any favours this season.

Just stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

Although I do concede that there may be MANY reasons why lots of people (RFL included) dislike St Helens RFC and jealousy would only be a small percentage of those. David Edgell in his letter to the RL Express seems to be yet another Saints fan taking 2 losses in his stride - that your real name????

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Thu Mar 23, 2023 12:57 pm  

What are Saints going to do when they start winning again? Will it be because all their players are so utterly world class that they're picking up the victories despite the best efforts of the RFL evil empire?

I really think you need to go and lie down in a darkened room*. Your results this season are down to how your team have played. You are noticing poor decisions because for the last few seasons you have had the rub of the green on decisions (I am being neutral there).
*If you think you will get any sympathy on here then a sanatorium may be more appropriate.

He'll be appearing on GB News with that bearded weapon from Coast and Matt Le Tissier if he carries on.

I'm pretty sure the appointed ref will have his mojo back in time for the upcoming Saints v Wire game .The famous Saints "line speed" will be in evidence with copious forward passes involved & Walmsley will be moving off the mark at every opportunity.
