We've lost to Warrington twice by 7 points (and lest be honest it had to happen eventually) we could've beat Wigan twice and once we were poor, we lost to Hudds with literally half a team I think your writing them off a bit too soon.

We,ve only been mullered in 2 games, Wigan and Huddersfield. The other losses have been giving the opposition 18 + starts. Starting on the front foot and get our completion rates up we will be match for any team. The challenge cup by beating Wigan or Warrington in the semi final might be the way achieve a cup win.

You've basically hit the nail on the head with my point. We lack anyone that can win us a close game at the moment. We are playing with two young halfbacks that have done a truly fantastic job but when we come up against the big 3 the fall short at the moment. Like I said in a other thread, we either stick with lomax and Gaskell and give them time but expect not to win cups for next few years or we get a good quality halfback in that makes things happen and controls the game.

It's just my opinion but I don't think this current side is good enough to win cups this year with the current team. I also think next years team will struggle to make the top 4 with the loss of Graham (best prop in super league and the expected departure of flannery, Pryce and ade.

I hope I'm wrong but that's how i see it.

Your spot on next seasons team looks like its going to be weaker it doesnt add up 3 top players out plus as you say Flannery and Ade could go yet only 2 in again

I would be happy if this season is the end of our transition and we move into our new stadium with a team that had a real chance of winning a trophy.

I don't do guess'

However I do know for certain we'll win the CC and make the Grand final but loose by turning in the traditional Saints old trafford performance.

I seriously think that you are still a good side. With the kids that you've got coming through you are the envy of most other SL teams. Your are a club in transition with your move to the new stadium coming up. Next year you'll get a big increase in gates and the new stadium will result in a massive increase in your income streams.
