Saints Winners (now i'll wake up)

And so our journey begins

Crazily, it's not beyond the realms of possibility...

I also have a sneaky suspicion Widnes will make a hell of a game at wire

Here is my version.

How Wire do entirely depends on our injuries. We currently have injured Super Ben, Ben Harrison, Chris Bridge, Simon Grix & Ryan Atkins. In my view for us to do well we need 3 of those 5 to play . In addition we will probably be missing Paul Wood for at least one game.

Ive done this with my Head & not my Heart.

Week 1

St's v Castleford = Saints win (Yep your big game experience will win it for you)

Wigan v Hudds = Wigan win

Wire v Widnes = Wire win

Leeds v Catalan = Catalans win

Week 2

Saints & Pies week off

Hudd v Catalan = Hudds win

Cas v Wire = Wire win

Week3

Saints choose Hudds

Wigan V Wire = Wire win (But only Wire if as I said we get out walking wounded back. If we don't no one will stop Wigan)

Saints V Hudds = Hudds win

Grand Final

Hudds V Wire = Wire

You forgot the last line............"Now I'll wake up"

No I haven't, prior to us getting 3 injuries on Thursday night we were well on top & we would have won the game if we had finished with 17 fit players.

In which case then it would be Us who were now 2nd.

At the end we only had 14 players that were fit & no team in SL would beat Wigan at the PieDome with just 14 players. But with 17 players we were battering you.

We took our foot of the gas after we had the league leader shield in the bag to prep for the playoffs

well be a different team in the playoffs

(Now I'll wake up)

But your forgetting, you can only have 13 players on at any one time, yet again it was a combination if you bottling it and us stepping up a bit. When it matters you can't live with us

Personally I think we will beat Cas. I think Wigan will beat Huddersfield.

The rest is too close to call for me. Widnes could give Wire a shake down. Same for Cats and Leeds.

Week 1

St's v Castleford = St's win

Wigan v Hudd = Wigan win

Wire v Widnes = Wire win

Leeds v Catalan = Leeds win

Week 2

St's & Pies week off

Hudd v Leeds = Leeds win

Castlford v Wire = wire win

Week3

Saints choose leeds

St's v leeds = leeds win

Wigan v's wire = wigan win

Grand Final

wigan v Leeds

Saints v Castleford - Saints win
Wigan v Hudds - Wigan win
Wire v Widnes - Wire win
Leeds v Catalans - Leeds win

Hudds v Leeds - Leeds win
Castleford v Wire - Wire win

SAINTS CHOOSE LEEDS

Saints v Leeds - Saints win
Wigan v Wire - Wigan win

Saints v Wigan - Saints win!

If the pick is between Leeds and Warrington, I cannot see us picking Wire at all. Apart from the opening game (Wire started very slowly this year - they are a totally different team now), we have been dominated by them and haven't even come close. We did the double over Leeds in the league, and would stand a better chance facing them. I seriously cannot see us beating Wire, so its essential we avoid them in the playoffs.

All going to plan so far

We wouldn't live with Wigan in that form. If Wigan keel this form up then they will win back to back titles.

We just ain't good enough. Wolves got to many injuries and the others apart from Leeds are not in the running.

Unless Leeds get their act together I can only see a Wigan win at old Trafford.

They did look the part, but will they still be playing like that in 3 weeks ? i doubt it

Wigan look fantastic if teams let them look fantastic. Wigan have been beaten several times this season in exactly the same way. Bloody hard work, then Wigan just fall apart. It needs teams to get right into Wigan's face, fast defence line speed. Pull in their 4 man tacklers/defenders when attacking then offload. Every team that's beaten them (including us) have played like that this season.

Wigan fall apart when put under pressure. They look unbeatable when they are allowed the room. Huddersfield did that.

The downside of that is it is bloody hard work and draining. Only the fittest of teams can keep that up for 80 minutes against Wigan, and the team has to be mentally up for it which sometimes Saints isn't.

We would need a better performance than the one when we beat Wigan at the DW, I seem to remember Walsh went off after 20 mins, so there might be a very very slim chance of winning without half backs.
I think we will know where we are going performance wise after tonights game, Waney put the goons in the right mindset in treating it as a one off elimination game, whether Browny can do that I dont know.

On tonight's performance no one will want to come to Langtree Park?

This win keeps my prediction aliveicon_smile.gif

We are going to have an interesting decision next week.

Pick the lowest placed team, it's not hard at all...

So leeds then?

I didn't say hard tho.

It'd be better than playing them in the final



Only way I wouldn't pick leeds is if Widnes got through by some miracle...

Wigan Vs Warrington

Saints vs Castleford

Saints vs Warrington final. Saints just fall short.

Don't think Warrington & Cas can both progress.

Huddersfield vs Leeds/Catalan/Widnes
Cas vs Warrington/Leeds/Catalan

Well spotted.

In that case.

Saints vs Cas

Wigan vs Huddersfield
Saints vs Huddersfield grand final. Saints finally win one.
