nout....according to Noble they are building towards August so pre season doesnt start till July.

Upto tonight i have never said that we should sack Noble. But unless things improve and im getting the Milward vibe that some players dont want to play fot him

Use your imagination...

3 weeks training in the space of 1 stuff is rubbish!!

But surely the pre season was "hard"

Lanzarotte was "hard work"

This season will be different.


I agree with an earlier poster. How on EARTH can this squad have spent the CC money?

must be hard work sunning yourself in lanzarote for a week

i say send em down the pit for a week in pre-season, bulk the buggers up lol

Micky, post-match interview, talking about Saints.

"They're not the cham...they're not a top team for nothing."

If they book next seasons pre season training in the Canaries again I'm not bothering with a season ticket!

We work on an expansive running game, involving the hooker spinning a short ball to the first receiver, and he drops it off to a forward, who doesn't actually run onto the ball, and never hits the gap, that way we conserve energy as no running has to be done.

When we struggle to score any points using plan A, we resort to plan B, which is when the forward who took the ball and made no yards, turns in the tackle and offloads to another player who's stood still, and again makes no yards.

Plan C involves more of the above, however the guy taking the offload attempts to pass the ball, which usually results in a knock on and the fans complaining of us trying to be too flamboyant.

Plan D involves us relying on luck to get a few penalties to get us into the opponents 22, and then a kick to the corner for Richards, at which point the entire coaching staff can be seen praying for a try.

Just got a text from CAPTIAN 13

Says that Riddell is blinkin' flippin' dire - well, perhaps you could replace 2 of those words with one, but you get the gist of it

Oh Dear!
