I'm not a great fan to be honest.
Of Potter I mean not Saints!
Redvee is in meltdown and I can't get on but the rumour mongers on RLFans are saying Justin Morgan.
Please God not.
He may be Mr Personality but his team are performing very poorly so far this season.

Why?

[Carr Millite]

We haven't won anything under him and, until very recently, the style of playing as been soooooo boring.
Whether the improvement is by design or forced because of injuries I don't know but I suspect the latter.

Hurry up with your excuses.i will be going out at 9 o,clock,i will be in town tonight,i will take my tissues with me.

Exciting game. Saints were poor by their own standards. Salford played like Saints used to do under Shaun McRae - keeping the ball alive but with a poor defence

[Carr Millite]

Poor is too kind Alan. Diabolical would be my description. Apart from Jammer the whole team were shambolic. Even Kieron and Wello made uncharacteristic mistakes. We badly missed Meli, Wilkin and Maurie. Fozzard shouldn't have been re-signed in my opinion.
Salford played like Saints used to which speaks volumes about the style of Potter's coaching techniques.
The only consolation was that the defeat came against a minor side.
And the ticket price was only £12.

Sorry to hear about the Saints. My dear old Dad, God rest his soul, loved the Saints, when they won,
he was elated, when they lost, he was finished with them, (till the next game)! I just found a
channel here that's going to be showing Saints V Hull KR next Sat. afternoon. Can't wait.
I think it's the day after the actual game, so no spoilers please!

I have just watched the video of salford v stains, the try that scott moore was awarded,benifit of the doubt,was one of the worst decisions i have ever seen.you could clearly see the ball was not grounded,i think the video ref ganson wanted you to win that game,he should never be in charge of the video,are refereering when stains are playing.

[Alan]

I also doubted it was grounded but I think the rules on interpretation are loaded in favour of the attacking side

[joe90]

Hello Alan,do they not have rules for the defending side,if they have them for the attack it should be the same for defence,at the same time the defence is attacking the attacking team,i think you know what i mean dont you.

[Alan]

To put it another way, the rules are skewed in favour of the "try"-scorer inasmuch that if it's uncertain whether or not a try has been scored, he gets the benefit of the doubt

Even by gooner standards this is a pathetic post.
Eastmond's try was disallowed for crossing and no such thing happened.
By definition, benefit of the doubt is when you can't tell whether the ball has been grounded or not. That's the whole point of it.

[joe90]

Even alan who i think is a stains fan had doubts the ball was grounded,but you being a thick billinger,with pins still stuck in her eyes could not see the ball was not grounded,and who mentioned eastmond not me.MORON.
