So who's going to finish above us?
I know you've won the Grand Final, but alot of Wiganers have got very cocky recently. One Wiganer I know has predicted Wigan to win the WCC and Grand Final easily and another has tipped Wigan to beat us by 40 in Cardiff.

Some one take this!!!!
Who is going to be above saints.
In fact add in that if Saints win the league leaders he has to wear a saints shirt to a ultras meeting or something.

But he is an exception, check the WCC thread on the Wigan board. The majority of Wigan fans are not cocky at all, but do expect Wigan to be top four and putting in a decent challenge.

They were just two recent examples, I could've added more but I didn't think I'd get pulled up by a pedantic bugger.

I will happily take that bet and remind you about you losing it at the end of the season.

Something you don't hear very often, a coach accepting the blame...
“I took this game as a friendly and to try out some combinations so it was my fault there wasn’t a specialist kicker out there. "
Can't fault him for that, hopefully he won't have to accept the blame for too many results like this one though!

Saints will walk a place in the top 4 imo and but up a huge challenge for top spot. If both halfbacks stay fit then there is very little to choose between Wigan, Wire and Saints and any of the 3 could finish in first place.
I'm not reading too much at all into last night. It's a fitness run out at the end of the day and it'll be a totally different ball game in Cardiff. We've had a disrupted pre season with players getting injured and picking up knocks and that won't help our cause going into the start of the season. Theres no saying we won't get a touch up at a fit and healthy wire tomorrow.

I think that's a fair assessment. I would expect Saints to be a little bit better this year than last. They will be fitter, leaner and hungrier.
In my eyes Wigan are slight favourites for top spot. Wire and Saints are almost impossible to seperate and should also finish top 4.
Leeds I'm just not sure of, they were a champion side - one of the best in recent times - but I don't know if they have continued to replace quality with quality.
With a bit of belief I think Huddersfield could be the ones to break into the top 4. They really impressed me last season.

I think we have got the best squad in the comp which noone can argue with but to say it's a cert is stupid
Wigan
Hudd
Wire
Leeds?
I really think cunningham going will screw you men no direction at all dont get me wrong roby is good but he's not a leader i really think you will be mid table this season

Given that Simmons was an international hooker I don't foresee too many problems for us in that area especially with our two front line options, Roby (surely one of the top five British players around) and Moore.

It will take time for roby to adapt to the changes IF any are made to his game he's been in top flight rugby for quite a few years now so will be hard
Moore i rated him more at hudd mabye with cunningham and roby the main 2 last season he will come on with more game time this season

| Roby doesn't have to make that many changes to his game. He's a fantastic all round player and is in the top 3 or 4 hookers in world rugby. Scott Moore needs to step up though and now has no excuse as he'll get more of a run at 9 than alst year.

I agree with both points my main point is roby is not a leader full stop he's a very good hooker but cant control a game like cunningham did
Pryce is hit and miss good one min shy away the next i really think your direction round the pitch is what will screw you plus you need to sort your goal kicking out

| If i were a Saints fan i would be worried you were beat on monday quite easy by a team who played prety poor on the night plus Saints had more of the ball due to the heavy penalty count against the Giants and you still could not open them up, and not only that the Giants attacking play was quite poor if there combinations had been beter they would have scored more points.

Well I can speak for myself and yes I am worried about MM, not so much about the season as I think we will still be up there due to the winning mentality within the squad. But I am apprehensive of an embarrasment at MM, only time will tell I guess.

I'm not.
I doubt we'll be swapping around wingers, centres and halves, starting without a kicker and only playing a scrum half for 30 minutes against Wigan.
We may well get beaten, I very much doubt we'll be embarrassed though. I actually quite fancy us.
