AS a Saints fan I have read with incredulity the absence of praise for Saints players in Ellery Hanley's articles about the Rugby League World Cup in a national newspaper.

Hanley was full of praise for Andy Farrell and Kris Radlinski (both Wigan) saying Radlinski was the most exciting prospect in the game. No mention of Tommy Martyn, Sean Long, Chris Joynt, young Wellens, etc. -- all players from the Super League Champions side.
