You should see what odds you get for that in the bookies!

Stupid post, Saints have the ability to beat anyone in SL with a full strength side, as proven when they pushed us all the way in the semi and I also felt they were the better team for large periods when they played Wire away, if Pryce would have played that night I think Saints would have held that lead and beat them.

Very true. This has also been said in the press by Wello, so the players also think playing away in the play-offs is not as much of an issue this year due to the Widnes situation & their attitude to home advantage is the one that really matters.

Really? Because they haven't beat us or Wire this season.

No we ain't beat you or the wolves yet this year but the way the play off system works we might only have to beat you both once each to be crowned champs

As the old saying goes. There's a first time for everything!!!

But been extremely, extremely close with less than full strength teams.

If injuries start to bite you guys in key positions and we can keep our top players fit and firing, who knows?

A certain Mr Joynt once said "Never write off the Saints". He's been proven right more than once.

How can we forget, Eddie Hemmings must say it every other week.

Watch your rugby league on 'mute', you'll never go back

Ahhh the 'under strength' team excuse, never gets old."

Mainly 'cause we wrote it on a big flag and hang it in his veiw on match days.
Perhaps if we did one that read "Oooh Stevo, you smell nice today." he'd do the same?

My post is true though, right?

Still the original post was about 2nd place. I guess Catalan could do Warrington, but after the batting collapse at Hull that looks very unlikely. Same goes for huddersfield getting 4th spot.

Not really. It's just a poor excuse.

Judging by the games, I'd rather us finish 3rd and go to Wire. We run both of them (Warrington and Wigan) close away, but got tonked at "home"....

Well it looks like Wire have picked up a good few injuries last week. Westwood 8weeks, Hodgson 4 weeks Evans season ending. Grix - I think is 2 weeks. They still have Morley out as well. They may struggle from now on in. although gaining second spot might be a bit beyond us we could do well in the playoffs if circumstances stay the same.

all we need now is tomkins, leuluai, richards, carmont, charnley and AN OTHER FEW injuries for the pies and jobs a good un.

Hodgson is the key man for the Wire. I'd fancy us if he were missing.

(puts on flat cap and hovis music) eee lad we used to dream of only having 4 injuries, tha`d be a luxury fer us Tha` knows , these youngsters dont know thur born !!icon_smile.gif

Yeah , it's tough for the those of us with a salary cap though

Who cares about the wolves anyway, they bottle it every year in the play offs. They wouldn't even be in 2nd spot if we'd had a near full strength squad this year.

It is so funny to see an eight page thread on their board about four measly injuries (with only three of any note - Westwood, Hodgson and Morley) and we've gone the whole bloody season being unable to field the same team twice, relying on two rookie halfbacks, yet we have managed get to third spot and in fact were leading at one point in the season.
