Wigan did a number on saints last night

Poor form by saints and worse for Salford, I fear for them

Will koukash walk away if they go down?

I hope Koukash stays, I think his hearts in the right place and agree with a couple of things he has said especially about the stadium being built in the wrong place, I think the blame rests with the RFL when they wanted new stadiums to allow clubs to get superleague status.
On another point, I can't understand sky slowing London v Leeds this aft when my club Cas are playing Warrington. Now I've said it, watch the Leeds game turn out to be a belter.

Saints were very poor last night. They might just make it the playoffs unless the Catalans raise their game

Catalan are in free fall, or sants would be in trouble

Yep just have to hope the freefall continues

Last night was shocking. But 2 players wrongly banned, and Percival missing. Fages has only trained twice in the last few months, and is a 20 year old lad expected to control the attack against Wigan, where nobody had practice running off him.

It was a recipe for disaster from the start tbh. i still think we're safe with a top 4 slot, and hopefully get back on it when we get Walsh, and Percival back. We had large amounts of control in that game, but just had nothing in attack to get through the line.

But still, I'd rather the winning streak end now than in the semi's

There were rumours floating around at one point, that he wanted to buy both Hull FC, and Hull KR. Then merge them

He'd be the most hated man in East Yorkshire if he did that.

I think the deal is to show a qualifier not a super league game

I'm not sure they were wrongly banned, two dangerous tackles for me
Wigan were missing players too

Saints were poor, enough talent on the pitch to be able to pass and catch the ball

I thought I'd just pop my head in to hang it in shame. I've criticised Kieron quite openly above but we're now within sight of a semi and playing well against Castleford

 

[PhilDawson8270]

Within sight? A semi is guaranteed now just a matter of who against.

Great game last night. Big cas weren't their usual self.

Congratulations Leigh on your well deserved promotion to Superleague. I'm typing this and there's still the 2nd half to come yet. (Cas fan).

 

[david k]

Yes Leigh have made the promised land, how will they go though?

Well, as a Leigh fan I obviously hope we kill it, by that I mean 8th thereby avoiding the Q8's. Realistically I believe we could finish 9th or 10th but don't believe we will be bottom 2.

Widnes have lost Brown to Wire in a pivotal position & don't have a lot of strength in depth, Salford haven't recruited well & have lost Mason Caton Brown to Wakefield. Huddersfield have some quality but a poor mentality.

We will probably have to scrap to survive & have really tough opening fixtures, Cas, Leeds, Saints, Wigan, but survive I think we will.
