@AndrewVossy We are all ears

@MalcHankey ....its a sad story.

@AndrewVossy Please tell me you are in the UK already and will be doing some commentary on the Ashes Series 🤞🏻

If Rowley and Briers can’t get this team back to playing with a level of attacking flair and decent shape, I’d be surprised. He needs the backing of the board to sign players but for me, Rowley showed a level of integrity last season at Salford and stuck by the club in untenable circumstances. Players seem to have respect for him and want to play for him - just like Peet does at Wigan. He also had no qualms in calling out our poor attacking play on sky a month or so ago, I doubt we will see the word salad we have become used to. It’s a calculated gamble - but there is more chance of him staying if he can turn this team around and have success compared to an Aussie assistant who uses the job as a stepping stone back to a head coaches job in NRL. I for one wish him luck.

Anyway, what’s everyone’s thoughts on Rowley?

@AndrewVossy How did we get two incredible finishes in two play off games on both sides of the globe on the same weekend? @NRL @SuperLeague The @Saints1890 finish was 🤯 Watch your mate Brian Carneys face at the end 😂😂

@rlfansSaddened @Andyjlyon Let’s not forget this is the 10 year lag from Australia again. Wayne Bennett as coach of the Kangaroos picked the 5 best full backs in the NRL and played them in all positions 1-5.

@Andyjlyon His best position is fullback. Quite what we do with Sailor and Welsby is beyond me though. The truth is they're all fullbacks and none of them can kick, nor can Lomax. Whitby needs to play next year.

Get Robertson at 6 next year! Needs the ball more than he gets at the moment

@pcooke06 absolutely love the commentary with @MarkWilsonRadio Outstanding work 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 You had to rip up the script and speak from the emotion of seeing it live. I was at Knowsley Road for wide to west 25 years ago, and know exactly what was going through your heads - but you held it together and delivered a memorable commentary there!!

It’s “Left to Wright” @Saints1890 @RedVeeDotNet

@M_Shaw1 And knowing this was the case and could happen, please explain to me why Wellens went with one prop on the bench? Considering you were defending against sacking him on @RedVeeDotNet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Matty Lees appears to have left the stadium at half-time. St Helens forward dashed off behind the South Stand once the hooter sounded with his tracksuit on.

For the first time in 35+ years of watching @Saints1890 I’m not that fussed if they lose tonight simply because they are so boring to watch. Briers was brought in to improve attacking structures - either he’s not been allowed to or we simply don’t have the players who can execute them. That’s a sad state of affairs for a club once called The Entertainers.

Matty Lees will take no further part in tonights game as his wife has gone in to Labour. We hope everything goes well! With that being a distinct possibility - imagine going with only one Prop on the bench At least there’s the excuse lined up… “Just terrible luck” Comedy Club 🤡

As a former coach and Chairman of @NewtonStormARL how incredible is it to be in London, and see former Storm player Herbie Farnworth on the promotional poster for Ashes Series @wembleystadium for GB Lions v Kangaroos on 25 October @dolphinsnrl @EnglandRL - he may not be fit to play, but he is a credit to the club 👍🏻

@rlfansSaddened @M_Shaw1 Add to that Jon Wells in commentary “Saints no longer have that air of invincibility, that’s gone”

Is that not a perfect demonstration of Paul Wellens' coaching level @M_Shaw1 ? Paul Rowley, "You only have to be physical to beat Saints, they don't throw anything at you, they don't have any shape".

For those that didn’t notice, @samtomkins1 actually announced his “second” retirement inadvertently last week 😂😂 No way he’d be spending his danger money on new veneers and then taking the field again!! As a @Saints1890 fan, loved / hated watching him in equal measure, but good luck in your next chapter 👍🏻

Play Magic as one of the regular rounds, seven teams out of 14 forfeit a home fixture, the following year the other seven forfeit a home fixture. “Home” team get compensated for loss of revenue, or season ticket holders get a free ticket for the event included in the price of their season ticket. You are not going to to get 60,000 people at St James Park watching a meaningless 9’s tournament especially when the top clubs are likely to rest their star players. Surely that’s more workable. Unless of course the nine tournament tracks ridiculous sponsorship and the winners get £1 million to make it worthwhile. Can’t say that’s likely though knowing the RFL commercial team

You’re missing the point nobody is getting rid of the rugby weekend called magic just changing its content so it doesn’t have a skewed effect on who wins the league being a loop fixture! The part the fans love will remain! @M_Shaw1 knows where I am if he wants a live debate on it all!

@AndrewVossy @WiganWarriorsRL @WarringtonRLFC @SkySportsRL You know I’m firmly in the Vossy for SL Camp!! Fix it up @SkySportsRL

I will attempt to respond to as many fans as possible individually but a big thankyou for the feedback on the @WiganWarriorsRL v @WarringtonRLFC commentary on @SkySportsRL. I sincerely say it was an honour to call such a big moment for Superleague, and represent your competition.

Hence why I said he won’t get the space or freedom against other sides. I’m looking at other metrics from his performance other than running through a defensive line of kids. I can guarantee one thing - I bet you can’t show me many other tries in SL where someone playing the ball supports the play and scores. 99.9% of players switch off after playing the ball and don’t involve themselves in the next play. He did, that shows a mentality that to me show he has the right attitude and will likely be a success in Superleague - it has nothing to do with the opposition, and credit to your young lads who showed up btw, they should never have been in that situation but will be better players for the experience

@MalcHankey @AndrewVossy @Saints1890 @SuperLeague @brisbanebroncos @FOXNRL @VossyBrandySEN He was against an academy side 🤣

Tristan Sailor 4 tries @Saints1890 @SuperLeague round one. @brisbanebroncos @FOXNRL @VossyBrandySEN

Can I just reinforce this long standing personal campaign: @AndrewVossy to @SuperLeague What’s not to like. He may put on 15kg with all the food reviews but he will give us the best commentary since “Wide to West” youtu.be/VjhE7DOvD-c?si…

@BigBallsBankers I told you to do a cover bet, you’d have got your stake back 😂👌🏻

Jesus , Did anyone see that coming ? BigBalls is ready to attack the weekend , Lets eat 🦍

@BigBallsBankers Cover bet - Hull or draw is 11/10

Cash or stick? 👀🦍
