Saints need to play the same game they did against the wolves, we need to rip it up down the middle and our kicking game has to be spot on.

I agree. But to do that, Potter will need to play Smith at 7, which I doubt he will do.

Was your post tongue in cheek? Is this a sarcastic statement?

Keep it tight in the forwards and we'll overpower Wigan.

Doesn't matter. Wigan are superb defensively. They get three or four men into every tackle, even if two of them are technically flops. They then hold on, waiting not for the first move call, but the second. They then peel off one by one and 8 or 9 seconds later the opposition faces a set line of defenders who are rapidly encroaching. That IMO is the main reason they are where they are in the table and in the Grand Final.

What Saints require is a strong willed refereeing performance.

Hope and pray for Bentham then, because if you get him you'll piss it!

If Kyle isn't 100% we've got an enormous task on our hands. They are superb defensively and without Kyle's pace we're only going to be scoring kicks from 5 metres out. Getting there against Wigan won't be easy either if the referee allows them to dominate the play the balls through allowing them 8 or 9 seconds to get off the grounded player.

You're such a nice person. The Wigan players get off the player at the same speed as every other team does. They control the tackle, which is why the defensive line has time to reset itself. But of course they're cheating aren't they. Blinded fool.

Our only hope is to get penalties then have the King weave his magic. If the pies target Keiron and take him out the game. Something i expect them to do. Then it will be game over and an easy victory by 20-30 points by Wigan.
The signs were there against Hudds, who just ripped us apart for long periods. it was only when the King was on the field that we looked like we had a clue what to do with the football.

The positive thing from Saints perspective is making a grand final without hardly ever having two fit halves, often playing matches with effectively just 15 fit players in the squad. Even against Hudds we went into the first half with only 12 men on the pitch and in the second half we were down one rotation player.

Last night was i feel our cup final.

Put it this way. IF we do defeat Wigan in the final. It will be one of the greatest victories ever.
