KIA ORA..... its going to be a glorious day.....

Lebron is a Toronto fan tonight & tomorrow.
St.Helens do not exist.....Bless !

It's not a free hit. I never expected to be in the Grand Final this year. In fact I didn't even expect it 25 hours ago, never mind at the start of the year, so in that sense yes it feels like overachievement and a very pleasant surprise. The fact is though we are there now, and bitter experience from three utterly miserable nights tells us the Grand Final is no place for losers. It's an opportunity to end over six decades of underachievement, to put all that always your year (or our year as we cringily now reclaim it) rubbish to bed for good, and also put an end to a run where we have lost five major finals in a row now. It's not a free hit. It's the Grand Final. All I want now is a win.

Did you not see his try saving one on one tackle on Makinson then?

I did. Also saw the brilliant tip on pass he gave to Goodwin for Lineham's game winning try. He's got his moments. His defence is certainly better than Barba's. But kicking out on the full could have cost us the game, it's such a silly mistake to make. And he comes up with them at vital moments sometimes which makes me not as big a fan of his as everyone else is.

I'm kinda of the opinion that occasional brain farts are the built in foilable of fullbacks.
No mistake FB's generally are probably not involved enough to make that pivot count.
Ratchford is right up there with the most creative and elusive there is.
I'd take him, brain farts and all.

Whilst I'm far from a Saints fan, what's with the Wire love in on here?

Personally I can't stand them and their arrogant non-singjng, drum beating fans. Pains me to say I'll be hoping for a Pies win next week as this Warrington team are so bang average it's laughable. A GF win with that squad would merely highlight just how mediocre SL is at present.

And having to put up with the sight of that plank Atkins and his tongue isn't even worth thinking about.

Pick that lip up. And don't worry about Atkins, he's unlikely to feature.

Really? For someone who's far from being a Saints fan you sure do post like one. We have been guilty of over exuberance since about 9.50 pm on Thursday, but arrogant?
We weren't lauding our 7 dream team members, 2 MoS contenders or predicting we'd win by thirty odd points.

I don’t like a drum but did you hear our noise on Thursday night? We outnoised 10000 Saints fans easily.

And what are we arrogant about?

If we're bang average what does that make Saints?

Why so salty?

still hurting then poppet? Bless.

The only mediocrity is you.

It's not a Wire love in, it's more to do with ASS108 and King Kev giving it large all year only for Saints to bottle it when it matters.

I'm guessing you regret this post. If you don't, you should.

Thanks to all those well wishers that responded.

And just for clarification, I'm a Salford fan.

I don't like Wire, simples.... in the same way your lot don't like Saints. I've had plenty of dealings with arrogant Wire fans and I've worked with one as well. So yeah, I would have preferred Saints to win but I'm not losing too much sleep over it. And I stand by my comment about Wire being poop.... as a Salford fan I have no delusions about how Eartha Kitt we are..... but I'd go as far as saying that IF Wire win next Saturday they would be by far the worst team to have ever lifted the GF trophy. If you can think of a worse one, Fe free to let me know.

I could do that singlehandedly.

Not much of a claim that mate

No doubt you do.....

You tell me.... I'm not a Saints fan.

Nope..... read previous replies poppet.

GENUINELY SPAT BEER ON MY KEYBOARD......
