Indeed we should, we are far better than last year and there are no serial winners in our way this time. Only team who can stop us is ourselves.

| Hull at the moment are miles better than us, and so are saints
They destroyed us last time we played and we haven't really gotten much better. I can still see Saints doing the treble this year. If we get on over them on Friday then carry on that form then maybe my mind might be swayed but saints are miles more consistant than we are and Hull.are on a surge. The skill level, speed and power they showed today against Catalans was immense. If they play like that against us we'll get smashed. I hope to god i'm proven wrong but we're 100% missing a big hitting long minutes Prop and a quality half at the minute to take us that extra step. I agree that Hill is definately past his prime and has less impact now a days. Need a really good prop bringin in next year.

| After watching the Saints game 2nd half i saw weakness in their game. Not sure we are good enough to exploit it though as our attack is pretty rubbish when Austin is nullified. Hull on the other hand would and i think they are the team that could stop Saints winning the treble.

The best defence is attack...and saints are top draw there, no doubt.
If you are restricted of possession, your defence becomes all you have.
I'm pretty sure Saints pure defence isn't that great...
We'll see on Friday...and we'll see you Saturday...or not!

| Arenāt Hull interesting one week total rubbish, the next week world beaters and repeat. As for Saints they are the team to beat, just like last season. Let them carry the āfavourites ā tag, no pressure on us as nothing is expected of us.

They've lost 16 out of the last 17 finals and semi-finals they played in.
That really is deserving of the title of bottlers.

Exactly, they could easily go in a hull esque slide next week for no reason at all

Thatās wrong as to have won the Grand Final in 2014 we must have won a semi final and then the final itself so that would be two wins not one. And even so, weāve still won a final more recently than Warrington. Always does make me laugh when Wire fans try and have a dig at our semi final record.

Takes one game for the odds on favourites not to perform like last year when you were nailed on to win both semi's and what happened..you got thumped in both..having lost at London it gives us inferior teams hope..

I,m not sure if it was cost effective in promoting the game, there is always plenty of away support anyway plenty enough to give it that home game feeling. Percival mentioned something on SKY Sports that the Saints players are always up for this game of late and I don't think our players look too far ahead, Percival also mentioned they take things week by week so I would imagine Wire are only in their heads this coming week.

Must admit that it did make me wonder as to whom it was pitched at. As it flew over St Helens, I assumed it was to try and gain some additional away support, but agree with you that Saints bring more to the HSJ than any other away team. So, yes, I would guess it wouldn't be cost effective. As for trying to distract Saints, I just don't get it and doubt it working. If it was to try and drum up some home support, as it was shown at ht against Trinity, then the rugby on show certainly didn't help.
Something needs to be done to market superleague, as the RFL and Sky do very very little. However, I'm not sure that this is the way forward, although it was some light relief in the middle of a poor game.

Our Grand Final/League Championship history since 1955 stinks.. almost as bad as Saints complete club history pre-1955.

I don't think it is just promoting the game to Saints fans (who although do bring decent numbers to away games there is always space in the away end for more speccies). Its also promoting the game to Wire fans who were either watching the Saints game live, or in delay - as I was. It also created interest on twitter etc too.
It will also help Sky promote the game to TV viewers, making it seem a bigger event will bring in more arm chair viewers too you would expect, which while it does not immediately generate revenue for the club, its helping promote the sport on Sky and hopefully up the viewing numbers - important with a new TV deal on the horizon.
