That Saints Blog: Saints 36 Hull KR 12 - The Rebuild Is On As Heroes... stephenorfordonrugbyleague.b… That's a wrap then for the reflection pieces in 2026...

Only listened on the radio but it sounded like Wigan were shit today without French and Field.

open.spotify.com/episode/4kY… Here's an opportunity to listen to the final That Saints Pod of domestic season.

That Saints Blog: England And The Idea Of Jake Connor stephenorfordonrugbyleague.b… We need something different from The Grind. We don't seem to want it.

That Saints Blog: England And The Idea Of Jake Connor stephenorfordonrugbyleague.b… Was it a mistake to leave Jake Connor out of the England World Cup squad? I think so. Here's why.

Signalled our intentions by leaving out Connor...💤

Newcastle finished 7th and are currently contesting the Grand Final. Saints finished 7th and we're all very embarrassed. This says something about how mediocrity is treated.

City fans have definitely entered the anger phase.

To be fair the Warrington fans told us four years ago that Daryl Powell would win a Grand Final.

Thoroughly enjoying the Joe Westerman derby sponsored by Greggs but I don't think as one of the all-time great flair players Sam Tomkins should be allowed to use the phrases 'energy battle' or 'arm wrestle'.

I have seen fans defend the indefensible often. Red cards, diving, hair-pulling etc. But the way City fans have piled in to defend actual fraud is a new low for one eyed fandom.

Astronomically ill advised comments from the PM on the City owners.

Got an email from Saints which appears to show that they are charging £75 for a ticket to watch Saints play Hull FC - fucking Hull FC - in Dublin. Must be a wind up.

Guehi there already preparing to be a League Two defender.

And I don't think Daryl Powell has much more to prove. Taking both Castleford and Wakefield to a Grand Final is some achievement.

So farewell to the greatest sports team ever assembled. Or to put it another way, off you fuck, Wigan.

Grubbiest player in SL.

Is The Best Side In The Competition now part of Wigan's name? The media seem to think so.

Every time he makes a tackle in his own 20 Thompson lies in the ruck. At what point does he get binned?

Not to suggest anything that might benefit Wigan but that pass was forward.

Disappointed in Leeds failing to find a last play miracle. After all, they've been shown how to do it.
