There appears a bigger list of players that are no longer part of the current team than are part of it.
No need to apologise I wouldn't accept it anyway.

| Quote ="McLaren_Field"My mother-in-law hardly ever spoke directly to me, she always spoke to me via my wife, not because we'd fallen out, far from it, but because she was "old school" and believed that was the protocol.
It was a bit like being royalty and not letting the staff below stairs speak to you, the staff below stairs could only get a message through by speaking to the above stairs staff, so she'd stand in her own living room and say to my wife "Does Gary want a cup of coffee ?" and I'd refuse to answer until my wife passed on the message
'"
So is it that she regarded you as "downstairs" staff and Mrs McF as "Upstairs" staff? Or herself as "downstairs" staff.
If the former then I presume you'd have been quite comfortable. The latter and you'd have tortured your wife. But then again...
And as for the girls spending all their money already...you made your bed when you taught them to speak. Live with it.

That's going in my sig
Funniest one line since about 5 years ago when G1 said something like;
"Any more of this and I'll start breaking some fingers!"
and Tony S or Puig A replied
"Won't you find it difficult to type?"

If only you'd have said that in the first place instead of

Then some of this unpleasantness could have been avoided.

Don't they both sort of mean the same thing?
Saying ''current'' must have indicated to you I meant something in the team present then that is present now.

If you'd have said something like
[ithe current spine of the team has to date won 3 from 4 of the grand finals they have competed in[/i
it would have helped even further.
No way for that to be misconstrued.

"Us" is the team.
The reason I included Stirlingshire Saint is to highlight how the whole St Helens club have taken the defeats. They have taken them very badly, and if they were to win on Saturday they'll be reacting to the win in a similarly childish way.
There's no way that we can allow that to happen, so there is obvious pressure on the team to win.

| Interesting comments from Martin Offiah.
[i"I truly believe St Helens have been the best team in rugby league over the last four to five years but losing two Grand Finals have really hurt their legacy."[/i
Followed by...
[i"They (Leeds) know a lot of people in rugby league say they weren't the best team over the previous two seasons, despite winning two Grand Finals. I mean if Catalans Dragons had won last weekend and then went on to win the final, we wouldn't be saying they are the best team in rugby league."[/i
He then says this..
"[iLeeds on the other hand have been maturing as a team over the past few seasons and the likes of Kevin Sinfield, Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow and Matt Diskin are at their peak so it's naturally their time to dominate Super League.
"But no team can be dominant forever though."[/i
Whhich is it Martin? What was G1 saying about players grasp of the game?
A good one to paste on the Leeds changeing room wall at Old Trafford.

'"
It will be very embarrassing, yes, but it won't come as a surprise to most of us this year, not by a long chalk. Last year, after the way we had been performing for weeks and especially after tonking you in the qualifier, losing was a big enough shock for a sizeable majority to be extremely angry at the team. It took me months to forgive them. 2007 was different as you were standout the better team that year. But although you won I think our loss last year was to do with our attitude, not our ability. This year, though, we have next to no ability. It seems to have gotten itself lost somewhere or Potter has stolen it or something, but losing would come as absolutely no surprise whatsoever at all. I am going to Old Trafford while not expecting us to win. In fact, I half expect you to tonk us, rain, shine, snow, tornado, whatever.
To lose to you guys again would be very embarrassing though. There's no getting away from that!
Oh, and I would say my team is definitely under pressure, as is my team's coach. But they are not under pressure from the media or the pundits, all of whom have written them off. They are definitely under pressure from the fans. Our numbers have slipped drastically during the playoffs, many fans just not turning up because of the performances they have been doling out, and I do believe our ticket sales for the GF are not as healthy as has been the case in previous Grand Finals.

'" Offiah's clueless. Anyone listening to him on TV can discern that. Not a frikkin clue.
He was a freakish athlete and I did name him in my top 5 players on the recent thread but no idea about the game.
Slightly more than Ade Gardner I'd imagine, but far less knowledgeable than me.
Maybe Offiah doesn't talk us up because he doesn't represent our players? He genuinely nominated Myler for young player of the year on Boots N All recently. Wonder why that was?

This bit i don't understand from your fans. You finished 2nd this year and are playing in the final behind the only team above you in the league. I can understand you been embarrassed if say Catalans, no disrespect, who finished 8th beat you in the final. I think the biggest pressure on your team this weekend is your disgruntled fans not anything else.
