Remind me the last time we won the Grand Final. Even when we've been favourites and the best side through the season there's been times we've choked.
We should be way ahead of every other club in the terms of silverware in the SL era. That we're not is bloody annoying.

This thread we are talking about finishing top of the league, a grand final is a seperate issue.

Definitely is. It may come down to points difference for 6th but it could easily happen

Us bei 3 points better does not mean the competition is weaker. I would say we should be better given that we have had Walsh and Amor added to the ranks.
If we had the same points as last year, then we would be a little disappointed.
It's hard to measure quality season to season. It's very in the eye of the beholder. In those 'better' years we still took hammerings against the Green and Gold. But given their increase in the cap you would expect that over the years WCC wins would become less and hammerings by them more often.

| Another opportunity presents itself.
I'm just awaiting Saddened to lay into this Wigan team and the ancient cart horses they are carrying and their uninspiring signings.
I think the word is competitive.

Only if Leeds lose to London and Cas to Warrington. Either one of Leeds or Cas go above us if they win and we don't as they have better points differences than us don't they?

Your assuming we lose? If we win it puts us in a very good position - doesn't have to be pretty, but I assume there's a plan in place given they've had a week off!
Leeds could beat London blindfold, but I'd expect Warrington to beat cas given they're resting everyone before the final. If they don't then it strengthens our chances of securing top 4

| We can see a weakened Cas side losing to Warrington who have a bit of momentum in superleague. Hull KR gaining a point against has made life a bit harder for Wakefield.
If the Wheeler and Wellens show papers over the big cracks we are capable of a big score to help points difference.
This team needs an 18th man it starts from tonight.

| Don't know why you are so eager to finish top.
Didn't you win like, 5 LLS on the bounce when you kept losing all those grand finals?
Saints would have just as good a chance from 2nd/3rd as they would from top.
I get that it's a trophy. But do you really want to add another situation where ''they got the booby prize but not the main one''? Because I'm not sure i can see saints winning it now no matter where they finish.

We won't win the big one without walsh, wilkin, lomax and hohaia. It's about getting what we can now and getting something in the cabinet.

We've had a very bare trophy cabinet for a few years now. The likelihood is that without the players we've got missing, we won't be able to contest the main title, so while the LLS shield is both something we have a half decent chance of getting as well as the first bit of silverware we've seen for a while.

It's quite simple, Timmy Ten Names. If we finish top, we would have to face Wire/Cas twice to get to a Grand Final instead of Wigan/Leeds twice. As unlikely as it may be, I'd rather take a slightly easier route (we'd still be underdogs I'd imagine) and let Leeds/Wigan beat each other up.
And no, we didn't win 5 LLS on the bounce.
