Read it. I said 'the start' of a mid-table run. I think it'll take a bit of time to adapt to Simmons different approach and also to Cunningham's departure.
You have to factor in the possibility of Kyle Eastmond, Leon Pryce and James Graham being in their last season at Saints. I've heard the rumours of a new deal for Jammer, but the other two look very much like they will be leaving. I don't think any of the other young players at the club in that position are worthy of a starting place at 6 or 7 if we're planning on being competitive. |

Why are you assuming that if Kyle and Pryce leave next year we won't be signing anyone to replace them?
Saints won't be finishing outside the top four any time soon, don't fret. |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

So who's going to finish above us?
I know you've won the Grand Final, but alot of Wiganers have got very cocky recently. One Wiganer I know has predicted Wigan to win the WCC and Grand Final easily and another has tipped Wigan to beat us by 40 in Cardiff. |

Some one take this!!!!
Who is going to be above saints.
In fact add in that if Saints win the league leaders he has to wear a saints shirt to a ultras meeting or something. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

But he is an exception, check the WCC thread on the Wigan board. The majority of Wigan fans are not cocky at all, but do expect Wigan to be top four and putting in a decent challenge. |

They were just two recent examples, I could've added more but I didn't think I'd get pulled up by a pedantic bugger.

I will happily take that bet and remind you about you losing it at the end of the season. |

Something you don't hear very often, a coach accepting the blame...
“I took this game as a friendly and to try out some combinations so it was my fault there wasn’t a specialist kicker out there. "
Can't fault him for that, hopefully he won't have to accept the blame for too many results like this one though! |
