Rugby (blasted rugby) and films
Not only do we have them, we have them plus the referee. They hold on in the tackle, they get a second warning, we do it, and they get a penalty.
They're also being helped by the fools we call a back line (with the honourable and eternal exception of Paul Wellens).
Matters are not helped by two things:
1 - It's turned into a battle of through the middle vs through the fringes
2 - They have a 'that bloody man' again. This is a player, who plays for your most hated enemies, and he's good. Damn good. To the point where it hurts to say his name. And Tomkins is the newest incumbent of 'that bloody man'.
Bloody hell Mark Flanagan, you must have a titanium head.
The coaches were not helping in the build up because, for once, they're both hometown boys and so Shaun Wane said that as a Wiganer it wasn't dislike he felt for Saints but hatred. Mike Rush, beloved temporary coach, responds with 'the feeling's mutual'.
Come back Mr. Millward. We miss you.
One of ours must have got have got to Claire Balding because she says St. Helens properly.
Level of bias of ref is so great that the commentators have noticed. Please consider how bad the ref has to be for that.
Gary Wheeler needs birching. Yes, I am singling him out. Yes, that's mean, but oh, he was terrible.
Oh well, we can but wait for Ade Gardiner to be fit again and for Jamie Foster to be fit again/stop being suspended/stop having disciplinary issues. I can't remember which of the three applies this time.

What happened to Michael Bay, because he used to make fun films? I like 'The Rock' and I like 'Con Air' (okay, let us be honest here, I adore 'Con Air', I have no taste). But now he makes films I have no interest in and it's not as though I have high standards.
