Strange that Wigan and Warrington the form sides of the regular season have dropped off in form slightly and Leeds and Saints have upped there form.
Four very even sides in my opinion, for warrington if you put a lot of pressure on them and limit briers kicking options, they have to play a risky game plan.
This is what is needed for saints to beat warrington and we need to play better than the previous game, more pressure in the first quarter to dominate the game on our terms.

Not really strange. It seems to be an annual thing!

Are we ready for the shock announcement that will follow every other announcement that has gone before

I didn't like lenaghan on the club call, he came across very arrogant.

"Rugby league wants to see wolves v Wigan final"

The way he was taking Wigan already at old Trafford.

He didn't say that. He said neutrals wanted to see a Wigan and Warrington grand final because Leeds and Saints had been to their fair share.

I'd say that was a pretty accurate statement really because neutrals do appear to be sick of seeing Leeds and Saints at the grand final.

I may have not heard I'm correctly if that's what he said.

If I was a neutral supporter I would want Warrington to be there and win. But as I am a STID then I want my club to be there win or lose. 10 grand final appearance in 14 or 15 seasons is remarkable in any sport.

Why wouldn't we already won there this season, doesn't matter what you watched last night we will up our game with hopefully a fully fit squad

Well that was worth the wait wasn't it.

At least with a random draw there is the element of surprise.

Yes there’s consistency there, but I think the GF consistency you want for your team isn’t the kind of consistency you’ve been getting, is it?

I think the question is if your team has to lose, would you rather be a loser in the final or not even get there.

Of course we all want to win the big prize and our record at being the champions is as good as anyone. In effect there can only be one winner and so by that measure everyone else is a loser.

Losing in the GF just makes you the best placed loser. It would be far worse to not even be in the running as far as I'm concerned, and when you look at the life cycle of a sporting team, if on your years of no trophies you are still making finals, then that's a pretty good cycle.

We've challenged the top of the league for a good number of years now, sometimes we've been on top, othertimes we've been bridesmaids, but when you consider during that period other sets of fans have had to cope with relegation threats, going bust, years of being the under achievers and struggling even to make the playoffs. It shows how fortunate Saints fans have been that even in the lean times of SL we have been competing at the top end of the competition.

Red Hall will be praying for anything, [ianything[/i but another Saints v. Leeds final. Expect the 2 referees for next weeks' games to have been briefed accordingly...

It could be the video refs who have that briefing. We should be a full house next week so we should voice any concerns with the man with the whistle.
Expecting a great game to be honest.

No chance,10,000-12000 max.

Looking at the online sales we'll be lucky to get 10,000.
