14-0 up and totally cruising.

then the two teams flicked a switch. theres was ON ours was OFF. Only sean longs kicking gave the scoreline any respectability. Having said that the referee didn't help our cause, 1) gardener clearly knocked on over the line only for Bentham - from warrington.... giving a try, not even with the "benefit of the doubt. 2)Giving a knock on against lee briers when he was going in for a tackle, that even my sisters boyfriend (st helens fan) couldn't believe it, which leads to a try.

But the main reason we lost the game was simple. We have no fitness. Totally unproffesional, and haven't got the nerve when the going gets tough.

Micky Higham, Gareth Carvell and Chris Riley were the only positives from that game.

As for saints I can't see them winning super league. Leeds have this in the bag if they can produce anything like decent rugby, Wigan aint gona exactly un them close

Overall, not clinical or fit enough, they are the most inconsistent team in the league, and I don't envy Jimmy Lowes. Why do I love them so much, why?

You hit the nail on the head regarding fitness, both teams to be fair looked knackered not long into the game, but the way Warrington fell off tackles it was poor. They always get in winning situations against Saints and bottle it, they starting throwing the ball about too much when they should have calmed down and controlled the game. 0-14 up? Will you ever get a better chance?

Yeah probably the next game, but we'll still throw it away, we do it all the time.

The reason for our lack of fitness is simple. And am not joking when I say that that reason is Mcdonalds. And of course the pints.

Catalans 6 - 30 Hudds.

Fantastic start by Far-town, (as they like to be known). Maybe everyone's predictions about them having a good season will come true.

Bradford v Hull KR tomorrow, finally the season is starting again, can't wait for this game.

Thats a home banker IMO

We got Catalans next week so if we win, then maybe its catalan suffering from last years amazing display.

So much for that

13-12 to Bradford, on the hooter upsteps Michael Dobson and he slots the one pointer over! It was the least we deserved, brilliant defence from our lads as they had all the possession (helped massively with penalties) but anyhow, the defence was truly solid.

13-13 - a strange scoreline, but i'm happy with a point. Bring on Leeds :)

The no try decision definately was the turning point!

We played well though overall, and espeically Shaun Briscoe! He should be ahead of Wellens in the GB squad.

Yet again, a lack of discipline, fitness and tonight pride in the shirt stopped us from winning.

Ok, losing to catalan is one thing, but to lose that way is disgusting.

Chris Riley aside, the whole team let the fans down, little wonder the crowd (who were fantastic till the team showd such a lack of pride) were booing them.

On sky yet again next week against wakey. Hmmm

Not even Chris Riley aside today, the whole team let the fans down.

What a waste of 6 hours.

Can't believe I haven't posted here about the game on Friday.

St Helens 19 - 20 Hull Kr

Brilliant game, top performance by us, had everything!! Onwards and upwards, think we've got a real chance to finish top 6 at least.

Leeds 20 - 28 Manly

Good game, Manly are so pacey! Watmough was brilliant and L'Estrange had an accomplished game, Manly finished the game after 6mins into the 2nd half with 3 tries - too much of a lead for Leeds to come back, but, credit to them responded with 3 tries of their own. They did well not to cave in, many including me would have expected them to. Lauititi's passing was fantastic for 2 of the tries!!

The changin point in that game was the big bust up against Mcguire and i'm not sure who the manly player was, Josh something after that i felt it helped Manly to move more freely was a good game especially the first 5 minutes of the second half, i never thought leeds could be blown away so easily like that!, they made it look effortless.

Hull FC, 3 wins out of 3 nearly equalled last years win tally already lol i think we will be a suprise package this year (hope so anyway) on SKY against the Giants thi friday.

CMON YOU 'ULL!!

EDIT: Oh yeah, the FC Vs KR game should be exciting this year as we are bothing playing well at the minute, well that's if we can both keep this form up from now until 10th of April.
