Of course they have. I don't know where all this has come from. If Saints perform anywhere near their best at Old Trafford they should beat us by a couple of scores (assuming both teams get there).

Next season I'm hoping we can close the gap.

Its come from the evidence that Saints players lose their composure in the pressure games.

This has happened for several years now, were as Wigan are proven to be effective in key games.

Yep, one of the cartel who think it's their divine right to win the G.F. year after year, after year, Ad infinitum.

He is a Leeds fan.

Anyway his point is very valid. Salford have done very well so far but will have to step up a huge amount in intensity to even compete with a zoned in play off series Wigan at DW.

That said i hope they do. Be nice to see another team make a run in the play offs.

I meant outside of Saints and Wigan

Completely different. The Challenge Cup Final was a one off game and Warrington put in a very good performance that was perfect for knockout rugby. For you to win the Grand Final you’re going to have to win 4 games in a row all against top 5 opposition. I’d say at least two of those games would require a performance at the same level as the CC Final. With the form you’re in that is beyond unlikely and imo, not going to happen. The GF is harder to win and Warrington, currently, aren’t anywhere near good enough.

Your form of late hasn't been good, but i wish you well

My bad, he hasn't posted for so long I'd forgotten who his team was.
Mind you, with Leeds having had a few "lean" seasons, he may have jumped ship

Wigan beat Salford
Warrington beat Cas
Warrington beat Salford
Wigan beat saints
Warrington beat saints
Wigan Warrington GF

You called it. Fair play. Far better than my predictions, excited to see Salford tomorrow.

Good start.

4 out of 6 predictions down in one go, impressive.



Let's hope you're equally as accurate tomorrow night as well.

Two horse race, a real 50/50 and i was out by 2 points. Its the play offs its a best guess scenario. Wish i was as clairvoyant or just clever like you.

I changed my.prediction when I saw we had another 3 missing from our squad



Warrington have finished the season dreadfully. You'd have to question if Austin was fit at all.

Stick with the rest of my predictions. Wigan win tonight. Saints Wigan next week. Salford.v Cas which is a total shoot out maybe even golden point. Winners to get dismantled by Wigan the week after and saints win the final.

Let's hope that most of the posters on here are right about Salford as well, I'd love an upset.


On the basis that Warrington beat Saints so easily when it mattered, I wonder if there is any doubt creeping in over there.
Saints temperament has looked suspect in the big games and many of their side was overcome by the pressure at Wembley and at Bolton last season.
Expectation can do strange things and both Salford and Cas have free reign.
Already written off by so many pundits and RLFans "experts" they can both play unhindered.

Right now, I'd rather be a Wigan fan than a Saints supporter.(I dont want to be either btw)

I just hope that tonight Salfold can prove to themselves and their supporters that they too are just as [urelevant[/u in the play-off series as the Tigers.

I don't have an issue with being wrong, especially when it sees one of our rivals rudely eliminated. I hope I've got 30 Salford fans calling me out tonight as well.

Creeping?

I think we are way past denial and have moved on to acceptance that we are unlikely to win it.

I think the normal saints posters on here have called a Wigan win.

So unless you listen to the trolls then we know that our team has a tendancy to get squeaky s come knockout games.

I do find it highly amusing fans of a club like Wakefield are going on about Stains being bottlers. You'd think they'd have more important things to worry about.

Like how a so-called 'established top five club' ended up dodging relegation by a narrow margin instead and had muppets on the pitch 'celebrating' it.

FFS. Change the tune.

Wakefield have never been an established top five club so why are you saying they are?

I know

A couple of your "noisy" regular fans, who were posting on here daily, have gone very, very quiet of late.
Maybe they aren't actually Saints fans at all but, Wigan still look the most likely to lift the Trophy, even though Salford, called "irrelevant" by another of your "fans" pushed them right to the limit and they look like they should take care of Cas next week.

You still feel that it will be Saints v Wigan in the final but, there could be a surprise or 2 still to come.

I didn't see a lot from Wigan last night that has me running scared ahead of next Friday but they've still got plenty of experience at this stage of the season and while man for man we are better, they've still got enough dangerous players.

Looks like Powell is out for them too which will be a big loss.
