Typical Saints fan.
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And we're always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
If a set of fans watch a player for a couple of years and write bad things about him expect them to be right. If you mock them and you turn out to be wrong and end up writing the exact same things, expect it to be thrown back at you.
I really dont know why many Wire fans think they are unlucky with injuries. If you sign players with rank bad injury records then (shock horror) they end up injured for you then its cr@p recruitment not bad luck.

Some of you guys on here make me laugh - ' freeloaders', 'sick note', 'shirkers'.
Anyone would think these guys like being injured and don't want to play.
Does anybody think that in a full contact sport guys are not going to be out with injuries?
Some players seem more prone to picking up injuries, but that's just life. I would argue with anyone who says that they are 'freeloaders'.
The key point is that ideally you don't have injury prone players in your squad, but EVERY club does because of the nature of the sport.
I guess most of you haven't had a dislocated shoulder or a torn hamstring or an ankle reconstruction. If you had you'd realise what you were saying was complete rubbish.

It isn't a player's fault if he picks up an injury and shouldn't be blamed or derided. However i don't understand why our club doesn't seem to take into account a players injury record when signing him.
Carvell is a great player but we knew before he signed that his record shows that he misses many games through injuries. we already had to many players in the squad that fit that description and in carvell's position of prop we already have a player that has had several procedures to a shoulder and another at the end of his career with 'back issues'.
It won't suprise me when we start with only one first choice prop in a game this season.
I must admit to breathing a sigh of relief when Johns announced his retirement.
The best way to predict the future is to create it...
