Never say never but highly doubt it.

I fear our play off record under Royce will be played two, lost two.

I have that feeling too sadly

It could possibly be a Saints Wigan final again. If Wigan win on Sunday, the final 4 could well be Warrington Wigan Saints and Leeds. Warrington would then have the option of picking between the Saints or Leeds for the semi final and i can honestly see them picking the Saints for that match. The last thing Warrington want to do is meet Wigan in the final and with what happened in the CC final between Wigan and Leeds, it would be a match just waiting to boil over. There'll be that much spite in the game and a brawl or 2 with players getting cited and sin bined that will weaken Wigan if they get to the final. In a one off game which the semis will be, the Saints can easily turn Warrington over and get into the final again and meet the winners of Leeds and Wigan. I think Warrington from winning the plastic shield will be expecting the get to the final, whereas with the Saints theres no preasure or expectation as your seasons been plagued with injuries and its an in between season until you get to your new stadium.

It would be a very brave Warrington to ever pick Saints, they'd be favourites, but we still cause them big problems. Wire will pick Leeds in this senario

Well the only way you can get to the grand fanal is by playing Warrington, you've not a cat in hells chance of beating us. We've lost one big game in the last 2 years and i cant really see it happening again. If Saints play their best and Wigan play their best theres only one winner and thats Wigan. Warrington arnt affraid of St Helens anymore, the whole of rugby league look at the Saints as a buliding team at the moment, in a few years im sure things will turn again and the glorious red V will be back up there!!

thats alot of overconfidence there! just the sort wigan arrogance we were used to in the late 80's/ early 90's. You're far from invincible as wire showed you

You are right I cannot see a scenario where by Wire would choose Saints, unless Saints had players like Roby , Pryce and Graham out with injury. Other than that we would rather play the current Aussie national team than Saints.

If you beat Wigan and we beat Hudds can we pick them in the club call, if so i want Wigan in that game at home with 12k Wire fans knocking them out let Saints play whoever's left and mee in the final, i want the satisfaction of denying Wigan even a losers medal and playing Saints in the final.
