I'd love us to meet again this year. Superb win against Cat's. You will no doubt be against Wigan and us Saints.

Roll on Leeds vs Wire GF. PS give us a game this time

Probably looks the unlikeliest GF pairing as it stands with us both being away from home. Especially given Saints playoff record, they may struggle when they get to Old Trafford but are unbeaten in their last 10 Non-GF Playoff games, dating back to 2005. I'd rather we were heading to the DW than Langtree Park.

If you do get to OT,please tell Lee Briers that Grand Final night is "Amami Night"in other words Lee wash yer hair

all shaved off now, if saints have won their last 10 none gf playoff games doed that mean they're due a loss?

Not necessarily, how long did Saints' unbeaten run against Warrington stretch to in the league? Not sure but i think it was a lot more than 10 games.

Also thank god Briers has shaved it off, that looked bloody ridiculous!

It took Warrington until the 20th April 2001 to beat St Helens in the SL Regular Rounds, it was at the =#FF000012th attempt.

Didn't say from when the SL first started, just how long they enjoyed an undefeated run against Wire in the league (just like the 10 undefeated playoffs games doesn't stretch back to the 1st year of SL).

From 20th of April 2001 when Wire won 56-22 at Home
until 25th of February 2011 when Wire won 25-18 Away
Saints enjoyed an unbeaten =#FF000025 game run against Warrington in the league (29 if you count CC and Playoff games), The 2nd and 4th of those 25 games being draws.

That's correct you didn't.



2nd and =#FF00006th actually but whose counting. The eventual win at Knowsley Road (sorry Naughton Park or whatever name it went by in 2011 - edit: Stobart Stadium) to end the sequence came with Warrington official Phil Bentham controlling the game. Starting with that fixture Warrington have been successful in three of the four Regular Round matches V St Helens including their only previous visit to Langtree Park so it should be a great contest and one that for me could go either way.

So did Wire never win at Knowsley Road then (since SL started)?

Yeah and then we had an even worse run after that....it was 10 full years till we beat them again

no, the last time we won at Knowsley Road was in the Jonathan Davies era!

Bet you were glad when they moved, and its certainly been better since

Just like us re Hull & the Boulevard, not been the same since they moved to the ??? (whatever it's called now) Stadium.
It may be the KC but I'm never sure these days.
PS good job Whelan ditched the name of the JJB in view of today's news.

Rest assured that stadium will be forever known as the JJB in my spreadsheets regardless of what Uncle Dave wishes to call it from day to day. The same applies to all grounds for consistency purposes .... even Bass Headingley.

Can see Saints beating Warrington. Will be another Leeds vs Saints final but wouldn't be too heartbroken if Saints won it. Think their due one against us!

That's where Saints slip up as well becasue they think they are owed one. Earn it and come out on top over 80 minutes.

The sight of Wellens on his booty, on the wet Manchester turf, is a traditional sight in October.

St Helens have earned another SL title in more or less the same way Leeds have earned another Challenge Cup Trophy.

Regularly making finals isn't enough if you fail to perform better than the opposition when you get there.
