But there is no advantage to Saints to come second instead of third. We don't have a 'home' ground anyway so what's the difference?

Very true. This has also been said in the press by Wello, so the players also think playing away in the play-offs is not as much of an issue this year due to the Widnes situation & their attitude to home advantage is the one that really matters.

Stupid post, Saints have the ability to beat anyone in SL with a full strength side, as proven when they pushed us all the way in the semi and I also felt they were the better team for large periods when they played Wire away, if Pryce would have played that night I think Saints would have held that lead and beat them.

Really? Because they haven't beat us or Wire this season.

No we ain't beat you or the wolves yet this year but the way the play off system works we might only have to beat you both once each to be crowned champs

But been extremely, extremely close with less than full strength teams.

If injuries start to bite you guys in key positions and we can keep our top players fit and firing, who knows?

A certain Mr Joynt once said "Never write off the Saints". He's been proven right more than once.

Mainly 'cause we wrote it on a big flag and hang it in his veiw on match days.
Perhaps if we did one that read "Oooh Stevo, you smell nice today." he'd do the same?
