I think Leeds could do well in the play offs, they've got players back and fresh, there playing their best rugby of the season and have peaked at the right time! Huddersfield seem to know how to play Warrington, Saints V Wigan is usually a good close game, then there's hull and catalans who are no pushovers. We could be in for some very good games of rugby league!

Mmmm! I wonder why both Wigan and Warrington want to avoid us.

Well here we are lurking in the background ready to pounce.

From a Wire perspective, its purely down to the last 16 or 17 years...

We don't actually fear anybody, we just have a healthy respect for what Saints could do, if things fell their way on the day.

As the league table suggests, we are the best team in the league, but history has taught us that we can't take anything for granted, especially against Saints.....There have been that many twists in our recent encounters, that you just dread that fate would come and bite you on the backside one more time!!

Let's hope it's at the Grand Final then.

We are in pretty good shape to finally win a game against Wigan/Warrington we have the pack to hold our own.
It needs Gaskell-Lomax-Pyrce to be at the top of their game and a little bit of winning the 50/50 calls is long overdue to get to another extended consecutive appearance.
The script these last 5 years is whose going to beat Saints in the grand final, we might be short on experienced game breakers, but if they get their heads right then super league is definitely winnable.

In all honestly I don't think we will make the grand final this year and I'm the confident ive booked a week in the sun the Thursday before the final.

We defo got the forwards to match Wigan and Warrington if TP is back fit but we like strike power. For us to win or even make the final, both lomax and pryce need to up there game and start taking the line on and creating stuff.

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!!

i see smoking crack is still the 'in' thing in wigan.

Re: Wigan or Warrington : Tue Sep 13, 2011 1:58 pm  

I would feel twice as confident playing wigan than playing you lot,avoid saints at all costs please...until the GF (hopefully).

Re: Wigan or Warrington : Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:03 pm  

Personally i'm hoping Saints beat Wigan, Catalan beat Wigan, Catalan rough you up in the semi with their big pack and Wire play a patched up Saints, we then stick 82 on you, no 83 a Lee Briers last minute drop goal.

To be fair if we make the GF then we've done well.

Third. CC semi final and a Grand final. I would have bitten your hand off at the start of the season. In fact after three ga.es I would have laughed at you.

As long as we score 84 I'd be happy
