Maybe papering over the cracks is the wrong phrase

Dont get me wrong - I love winning the Grand Final and the novelty still hasnt worn off for me

This season more than any though my mind cant help but stray back to 2004 and the way we played all year and really long for that again...

29 meaningless rounds of crap to determine what we all knew was going to eventuate all along - Wigan, Saints, Warrington and Leeds facing off in the semi finals. It's really not so much an achievement for the Top 4 clubs reaching the last 4 when the rest of the teams are rubbish.

Wigan will pick leeds and theres not a cat in hells chance of leeds pulling it off.

The wigan fans will be rabid, every split second too long at the play the ball by us will be penalised. Their fans will have to be held back from running onto the pitch and assaulting the leeds players, they;ve pretty much wished death on them anyway.

Me? I hope st helens beat those sons 'o' bitches in the final

I knew you were Lycra James all along

Like they did in the CC semi? Wigan will be praying Hull do them a favour tonight. They will be pricking it at the thought of club calling Leeds.
