Predictions for this Saturday

Am not expecting much seen what they have done to a few sl teams in the first 20 mins

so going to go 72 - 6 to St's

50-6

Fax 19-18 St Helens.

It's a poor do that were 80 minutes from Wembley and I haven't even thought about the final, hotel, travel, how long to stay in London etc. That's where we are though and I'm sure Saturday will be a fantastic day out for our club and fans. Let's hope we can do the championship proud and who knows? I'd.never write Fax off against any team at any time but realistically I think we will do well to keep Saints under 50 points. Fax 12v56 St Helens. Up The Fax!

If we can keep them to 70 or less & manage to score whatever I intend to have a great day out in Manchester

If we can hold them for the first 3 or 4 minutes I think we are in with a chance as they may start to panic. If not then we may struggle a little.
It’s a two horse race, a difficult one and possibly a dray horse against a thoroughbred but we always have a chance. Up the Fax.

But probably Saints by 50.

It's maybe a little disingenuous that Saints are already planning their day out in the final, but the reality is that we're probably going to get hammered. What we need to do is get the "Twist and shake" going and show how us minnows in the Championship can really support our team.

200 miles each way for me to get to the game, but I'm loving it just for being in a major semi after so, so long!!

Twist and Shake - the copyright free version

I have a 600-mile round trip, but I truly don't care about the score. As long as the lads enjoy themselves and the occasion, then so will I! Lots of pop!

Oh guys, you are all going to see the wrath of fuzzy duck. He does not like the defeatist talk.

Yes f d I am making a direct remark to your about my comments on another thread!

It seems I am not the only one who sees a big margin in the score.
Not seen any betting but are fax getting 50 start?

Just seen Paddy power giving fax 40 point start

I would suggest you book summat you can cancel for nowt or a modest fee. It's not just pessimism - it's a fact that bookings increase exponentially once the finalists are known.

The gap between Super League and the Championship is not as horrendous as we're led to believe.

Previous CC games have obviously seen ourselves and Bradford triumph over Landan and the Whinos, with Wakey and Hull KR not exactly stuffing Widnes and Leigh (infact Hull KR nearly got beat by Leigh).

You might think I'm quackers (geddit?) but I reckon we'll give the scousers a really tough match - Scouse Helens 28, Super Fax 14.

Hudd Shay could make a happy meal cry.

.

Around 20-1 to 40-1 for a Fax win, and around the 40 mark being the expected winning margin for Saints. Our main challenge will be to score a 4-pointer. Our defence needs to be square with no-one jumping out of the line, and our wingers staying where they belong (on the wing!). Tackle hard but fair, no penalties or dropped ball (a tough ask for us!) and we can frustrate them. Let's just all have a fantastic day out, and show the world (on national TV) what a great set of fans we are. Wear the blue'n'white and sing your heart out!

44-10 to Saints. Enjoy your day folks, I'm sure you will whatever the scoreline.
