Yes, I am correct in this instance. Your concern is appreciated, if unwarranted however understandable with your very evident dislike of being wrong.

Yep correct again

My god, I see I'm needed here. So many helium filled expectations here. Just because we were destined somehow to win the GF last season, doesn't mean we were good enough to and it doesn't mean we're going to be competitive this year.

Getting into the top 8 has to be the aim, winning the cup semi realistic but totally dependent on home draws and avoiding the big 3. We've got a potentially clueless coach (Not saying he is, but it's definitely possible that he'll be terrible), we could be wheeling Paul Wellens out every week, so playing with 16 players.

I can't see past Warrington for the pots to be honest. Wigan are rubbish, Leeds are rubbish, but Warrington's halves (Who demolished us twice last season) have an extra year of experience, they have the best prop in the comp in Hill, have added Simms and Daryl Clarke will be the icing IMO. They've been stung enough times now so won't be messing about with the league like last year so I'd expect them to finish top. Everyone has really short memories, you put us first because we won it last year. But we reached the GF almost by default with our play off fixtures and had Wigan explode due to Wane's idiotic approach to the game. Warrington were within a breath of reaching the final (Thoroughly deserved to beat the Goons in the semi final) and with Clarke will be so much more dangerous.

I think I love you

I'm happy to see even his own fellow fans hate this SLS guy, seems to have popped up in recent months trying to troll everyone he can in terrible fashion.

I personally can't see past us or you guys for the honours this year.

Incredibly wrong.

Wrong again.

Agreed..

Yet to be convinced by Warrington at all.

Its obvious I am completely wrong and need to book an apointment with specsavers, I will also have to ignore the fact that Sia was in the top 3 for tries scored, tackles made, metres made and offloading to his team mates.

Yes, I think Saints and Wire will be slugging it out this year, although I'm not going to write off Wigan yet. I'm sure they'll still be horrible to play against once they get some bodies back in the pack.

Warrington have an intimidating looking pack, and with Clarke on board they're going to be a nightmare to defend against around the ruck once they get a roll on. I'm still not convinced by their half-back situation, though - that could be the one thing that holds them back.

Then there's Catalans, who are a bit of an unknown quantity. On paper they should be right up there, but you never know how the travelling will effect them. If they finished in the top two and got a home draw in the play offs, I wouldn't want to be the team going over there.

Leeds look a little light up front to mount a genuine challenge, and I suspect Hudds will do what they do most seasons.

Again, I'll point out that nowhere have I said Soliola isn't a good player - he is. I've said that in my view he was overrated by most Saints fans. I'm not sure what's so difficult for people to get their heads around.

Your stats are nice, however biased. He will have more metres because he made more carries of all our forwards except Roby. His actual average gain is the lowest of our frontline go forward men. His tackles are good, he's a hard worker no doubt. Equally, I could point out that he missed more tackles than any other Saints player as well. Saints barely play an offloading game anyhow so I'm not putting anything into that stat.

Like I've said over and again, he's a good player. He's just not the legendary type player that most of you lot like to make out.

SLS talks sense and I find that person pretty objective.

Re: Ambitions for this season? : Sat Jan 31, 2015 9:44 am  

Targets for this season?

I think the only target should be to win everything and win every game. What's the point of playing for the three trophies if that isn't your target?

I would love us to defend our crown. That would be special.
