Rugby League Fans??

BrumBlue1878 · December 10, 2013

PLEASE PLEASE don't shoot me or be too harsh- first ever thread I've done. I'm a massive rugby league fan as well as being an avid Evertonian (St Helens RLFC) so just wanted to know if there's any other RL fans out there here on grand old team???

Yeah mate Saints season ticket holder. And if I can find suitable employment in the post industrial/Thatcher **** hole that is Merseyside I will get my Everton one back. I'm an economic refugee at the moment but may be back for the start of the next Super League season will deffo be back for Saints second . Looking forward to it, Saints are looking good...on paper anyway.

Obviously its a jarg sport and nowhere near as good as real rugby.

Wow gets around then. Certainly wouldn't **** with him but I never felt he properly ran his weight although when he was at Saints I was away so didn't see that much of him. I mainly remember him at Leeds.

Should be a good year for Saints hopefully- the signings look great, Amor in particular, and that'll bolster out timid pack from last year. Do you reckon we've got a chance of Old Trafford again? Wigan have drafted in others but I don't think they'll be as strong, wire have brought in a few and Leeds have, in my book, the best back line in the division; Hardaker, Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall. Realistically can we win it mate?

Yep, Wigan fan here. In terms of depth, our squad is absolutely huge, with a good 30 players with decent SL experience. The issue will be whether Tomkins can be replaced I guess, not to mention Pat Richards.
