Lets take a trip into the jumbled mess that is inside Sad boys head - as scary a thought as that might be

"I know that we are the worst team ever but - gosh darn it - we keep looking like we can get to the grand final again - no matter how much I try to make everyone else see how poor we are as a team and individually - especially that Wellens bloke
I am just going to have to change tack now and make out that the Grand final isnt worth going to - well because its
In Manchester
Its dark at night
It rains
There are other people there
we might get beat in a sporting contest Thats extremely unfair
It will cost me money
and those nasty internet warriors will rip me to pieces next year when I spout the same old crap if we do win this year
Life just isnt fair - I know I should get behind the team but I just can't do it when slagging them off is just so much fun
Please God help me and make sure those other teams win and dont put an end to me being popular "

I just have a feeling fate is going to do you a favour, and as underdogs warrington will [ifinally[/i make their maiden grand final appearence.

You'll see what a massive benefit the defeat is when you go into next years playoffs.

But then that's just my gut instinct. It could very easily be saints running out at old trafford for what will (imo) be another inevitable defeat.

My gut instinct is different.

I think the winners of this Saints v Warrington match will win at OT, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be Saints.

You guys are just traumatised by losing there every year so you are writing yourselves off unnecessarily but I see Saints as a bigger obstacle than Leeds or Wigan. I think if we get past Saints and make the GF then we can beat either Leeds or Wigan at OT, thats not to say I'd take them lightly or be surprised if they won....just I think we have the edge over those sides. Not sure if we have the edge over Saints.

Some people saying if we get to OT then we can't beat Leeds or Wigan not for the psychological factor but because we don't have the team, surely we do if we get there the last 3 teams we would of beat would be Wigan, Wire, Wire.
As for getting over the 'hoodoo' or whatever you are only going to do that by getting to grand finals and having another go if we have years off we still haven't won a final and therefore the thought of losing is still there

Even though it's been 6 years since we won at OT, it still feels like these losses are just a blip, and that normal service will soon be resumed. All the success we had in the first half of the 2000s has made us a little bit entitled I'm afraid, which makes losing in finals harder to take for us than for teams not used to the big games.

this about sums it up for me
