Last year when there was a clash with the cricket, the stewards kept you away from the cricket (unless you had a ticket for the cricket too. I suspect they'll do the same on saturday.

Being voted the best player in an all conquering treble winning team suggests that you may be the idiot.

And what about in 2010?

You still think he's great? Or spent?

Almost spent, certainly not as good as he was in 06.

He wouldn't get walked over by Ade Gardner twice though, like the current England incumbent did on Friday.

True, that was pretty funny.

I'm not sure about that, he got walked over, under, round and through in Australia 2008.
And just to prove it wasn't an off day, he repeated it at Salford two weeks ago.

Let's all roll back the clock 4 years and hang on to distant memories........

He also went under the sticks in a rare GB victory over Australia in Sydney. Don't remember many other GB fullbacks doing that?

Radlinski shipped a few tries against Australia, wouldn't you agree? He may even, shock horror, have had a bad game against a poor team at some point in his career. Was he a great fullback?

Wellens certainly isn't a great player in 2010, I don't think any Saints fan would argue that.

Now you mention it I do remember that. Saints died in the play offs that year though.

We've won one, at saints, in 2005. But to be fair, since we started winning titles we've never been in a situation where we've played in a must win away playoff game. All our knockout games have been at home, and the way we've played in some of them, i don't think home advantage would have made a difference. If leeds finish in 3rd or 4th, they will only need to win one away game to get to old trafford.

Wigans recent record at leeds is decent, in the league. But bar 2007, when it's been knockout leeds have tended to win.

You're right, he would have been five yards away chugging across the field at the pace of a canal barge...
