Interesting question for you that was raised on the leeds board: would you swap positions with Leeds right now? Would a challenge cup in the bag justify such a poor end to the season?

hell no!
if we scrape to OT ill be expecting a loss so have a great night reguardless! a win would be a bonus!

Kevin Brown, gotta be one of the best St.Helens lads in the last god knows how long to have never played for his hometown team. Although I believe he's a Wigan fan, I'd have loved to have seen him in a Saints shirt.

But he hates saints with a passion so it was/is never going to happen

I'd take the win a Wembley every day of the week. The cup is in the bag and I'm not sure getting to old Trafford this year will help tbh as I could see Wigan smashing us up big time.

The kicking game we playing would be very dangerous against the pies with kick returns from Bowen, burgess and Charnley.

Strange things happen especially on big nights in high pressure circumstances like Old Trafford. I believe Saints will make OT now and regardless of it being Wigan or Warrington you face it will be a close fought game IMO. Your defending brilliantly at the moment and look really determined.

If we're lucky enough to make it through and we do play you I'll be incredibly nervous. There's a few seasons of derby dominance on the line and in the biggest one of them all we could get burned. There wouldn't be a great deal of pressure on you guys IMO and we could panic in that situation.

Interesting few weeks ahead anyway.

That simply isn't true. Brown was more than willing to move to us but Widnes were asking for too high a transfer fee.

He doesn't hate Saints at all.

Strange things do happen, like losing 5 bloody times!

The question is if you know because of all the pivotal players missing you only have a 20% of winning the grand final, would you still want the team to qualfy to be there.

Every time

Last time I checked 20% was bigger than 0%, so of course I'd want the team to be there.

That would be my answer if the odds where only 1%. I suppose the next question is there a cut off point where supporters would go to the final or watch it on sky or not bother at all.

If people sit through five losses on the bounce then decide not to go to future finals for fear of losing, they're going to miss the reward when we win one. . . . which we will eventually (although I doubt it will be this year)

We have to get passed Hudds/Cas/Warrington/Catalan first and I don't think we will.

If we get there then you will destroy us, it will be painful but I'll still be there. It will be like the 2010 GF. Think that's the one where we drafted Matty Smith in and it didn't work.
