Good point I mean if and when we win the Grand Final will have to go find something else to do

Here in Toulouse and that was a poor performance. Absolutely nothing to really be overly positive apart from two points posted. Three wins gained without three good performances. Bizarre.

Many wire fans there mate? What’s the whole “experience” like? Will go next year if it’s during the summer!

Jeez rather high maintenance aren't we? The last 13 years have been a mardi gras of trophies and finals compared to the 90s and 00s. Saints are in the ascendancy at the moment but its only been the last few years it has borne fruit.

In respect of context. Saints have won 8 SL titles starting in 1999. Same number as Leeds. I think its fair to say they have been generally successul throughout summer rugby although they did have an 6 year gap from winning the title in 2007-13. They just lost a lot of finals in a row. 13 GF final appearances in 25 years is outstanding.

I doubt we will see 8 Warrington SL titles in our lifetime.

Very true. 4 major trophies in the last 13 years, 2 minor ones. 10 finals. Almost constantly challenging.

While we should have won more, being the 4th most successful club in the last decade and a bit is something most of us could have only dreamed of when growing up.

Indeed. The key to happiness is generally to lower your expectations and be ready to be pleasantly surprised.

If the GF Win ever comes in the next decade or two it will feel like a fairy tale rather than a birthright.

Guessing here but had Price still been the coach I think Ratchford would of gone in the halves and Thewlis to fullback.

We’d never know if DP would have done the same had he have had the option of Thewlis.
Isn’t he out injured?
Widdop was ruled out the day before the flight anyway, Riley Dean played in the Captains Run.
