http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/2978 Something you don't hear very often, a coach accepting the blame... “I took this game as a friendly and to try out some combinations so it was my fault there wasn’t a specialist kicker out there. " Can't fault him for that, hopefully he won't have to accept the blame for too many results like this one though!

Saints will walk a place in the top 4 imo and but up a huge challenge for top spot. If both halfbacks stay fit then there is very little to choose between Wigan, Wire and Saints and any of the 3 could finish in first place.

I'm not reading too much at all into last night. It's a fitness run out at the end of the day and it'll be a totally different ball game in Cardiff. We've had a disrupted pre season with players getting injured and picking up knocks and that won't help our cause going into the start of the season. Theres no saying we won't get a touch up at a fit and healthy wire tomorrow.

I think that's a fair assessment. I would expect Saints to be a little bit better this year than last. They will be fitter, leaner and hungrier.

In my eyes Wigan are slight favourites for top spot. Wire and Saints are almost impossible to seperate and should also finish top 4.

Leeds I'm just not sure of, they were a champion side - one of the best in recent times - but I don't know if they have continued to replace quality with quality.

With a bit of belief I think Huddersfield could be the ones to break into the top 4. They really impressed me last season.

So who's going to finish above us?

I know you've won the Grand Final, but alot of Wiganers have got very cocky recently. One Wiganer I know has predicted Wigan to win the WCC and Grand Final easily and another has tipped Wigan to beat us by 40 in Cardiff.

Who's said that?

I think we have got the best squad in the comp which noone can argue with but to say it's a cert is stupid

Wigan
Hudd
Wire
Leeds?

I really think cunningham going will screw you men no direction at all dont get me wrong roby is good but he's not a leader i really think you will be mid table this season

How can you take a bet when it wasn't offered to you?
