You are easily confused Captain. By that I mean you'll beat us in matches like this, and you'll claim to be 'better' than us, but it's not often you do better than us over the course of a season. We tend to finish above you and take home the big trophy more. If we beat Cas we'll have won 3 of the last 4 major trophies on offer. But I'd still fancy you to beat us in a one off game. You with me now at the back?

His old tea drinking side-kick Monkehhh was funnier, and that was a glove puppet.

You're spot on, re Chocolate Wilkin. What a plum.

Very true unfortunately.

Very true. Lots of luck along the way though it has to be said. Facing Salford in a Grand Final, last minute freak try from a drop goal hitting the post, Ben Flower getting sent off within 10 minutes. Even we'd have beaten Salford and a 12 man Wigan team. You've also bottled your fair share of finals over the past 15 years so lets not forget that.

Well if Saints do win the cup they better enjoy it as it will be the last thing they win for quite a while.

I've been saying that for about 20 years now and it doesn't happen. Some fantastic players in the academy still. And if we pull off the Dufty signing I wouldn't rule us out of being competitive next year.

Crucial times for Warrington too. Williams would be a great signing, but not sure it improves you if Widdop departs. And 2/3 of your front row will need replacing.

No they won't.

Which will be easier than replacing three quarters of it. That could be messy.
